I have been reading about what to do with fabric scraps lately and thought this idea was fabulous and easy and a great gift for little girls.

All you need are fabric scraps, beads, buttons, bobby pins and a glue gun and voila.

Have fun, some exciting stuff going on here.

I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies!

Honey Jumbles

Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish.
