Big January Sale 2017

Hi everyone!

I'm having a big end of January sale right now in my group on Facebook! It's a group I made for my page followers as some of you know Facebook's reach on pages is very limited so I thought I'd make a group so you don't miss anything plus get exclusive group sales and more.

You will need to click join so I can approve you to be a member of my group.

Here's just some of the pieces on sale

There is also a buyers giveaway open to anyone who makes a purchase in my sale album

For your chance to win these earrings just make a purchase from my sale album and comment on the photo of these in the group.

I'm happy to take reserves just ask me via private message on Facebook

Please read the albums info on how to purchase etc.

Thanks for reading happy Monday! :D

Hi everyone!

Well I only went and won the muffin tin challenge!! I actually had to pinch myself to check I wasn't dreaming ha! I'm so over the moon all that hard work paid off!

Participating in that challenge has not only given me my mojo back and got me making again it's also got me re connected with my blog and also posting more on my Facebook page!

I won a whooping $75.00 shopping spree over at Humble Beads!!!  How awesome was that I'm so lucky! I will share a photo soon when my beautiful beads arrive here in the UK :)

Oh I also got new photo's done of my muffin tin challenge entry's.....

 I kept these beauty's for myself ha!!

 Loving this beautiful cherry blossom necklace

Gorgeous orchard double wrap bracelet

These pretty flower earrings are now sold!

Also kept these beautiful earrings I'm a sucker for butterflies in case you didn't know lol!!

This birdy necklace has a beautiful colour combo  

You can't beat natural light it's so much better than artificial.
