Claiming my gallery spot!
I mailed on saturday, I found the way to deal with not having to wait in the crazy hour long queue in the post office is to huff and puff and be all dramatic taping your box up, and they whisk you away to a side counter to pay to mail your box without waiting in the usual line!!
Hopefully it will arrive soon! He said 2 days so tomorrow at the latest

Sorry for the delay in posting photos, it has been a crazy week! Having to use my webcam to take photos, hope they will turn out ok.

1st December:

Woop!! Finally opening time!
What I woke up to this morning - my housemate put it up!!Its all been hidden in his room as im not trusted not to open it all at once apparently    (the tree had a present under it, but that was opened too quickly to hang around for a photo!)

I got an amazing craft holder Its so awesome, already put to good use! Its great for taking my craft stuff round the house, and holding it neatly in my room, I love it, thank you!!


And the advent calendar, its so beautiful, sorry, our house is so dark it was hard to get a photo that actually shows the awesomeness


And the note thing inside for today was to tidy my craft stash ready for Santa! Good becuase it was long overdue, its just been shoved in my wardrobe since I moved in, its hard to get anything out!
So it went from this.... (+more general mess everywhere!)

Plus a really cute pen and notebook, great for when I start uni, and a selection of fabrics

Thinking of some mini things to make now

Thanks yumjello!

And I will post a photo too, because I already uploaded it 

There is the bookmark, as I read a lot, and often read a few books at once (some are too big to take on the bus etc, or too dramatic for night time!) so i  cant have enough bookmarks
And the purse toasty thing is cute, here holding my phone
And the hairclips in a cute box - one question, one of the toasts made a break for freedom - which glue did you use so i can stick him back on?
And also the cute needle book, so sweet, and travel sized!
Thanks for everything Annie

18. Make a case for Florence.
My grandparents got me a solar charger for christmas last year, its awesome! It has loads of little connectory things, for the different shaped plug things in stuff (umm, yeah, thats the technical term!), so I wanted to make a case with a zip compartment to keep them all in


19. Make notebook cover for friend.
My friend is going travelling for a year (not jealous at all!), so i made her a notebook cover for her birthday, with a matching slip on pen holder (except i ran out of pens, so started filling it with wax crayons - very grown up
