Can you believe it? No, neither can I......

What is the challenge?

#83 Button Art 


plus washi tape for twist


So what is stopping you all?

Creating something using a button is quite simple really
You can use it as a flower, or a flower centre; as a head of a character; as the body of a character; as an abstract decoration; as the button on a garment; as wheels on a vehicle......

You don't have to make a card but you certainly can make a card
The DT work for this week:

Susan made some Christmas Tags


Vicki made a card


How stinkin' cute is that!

What are you all waiting for?

Winners Post for August and Button's Challenge!


Hello Peeps!

Hope you are all wonderful and thoroughly enjoying good crafting times! I had a crafting meeting with friends on Friday and came home very inspired. Talking about inspired, how does this beautiful photograph of the fence outside Government House and the view beyond seem to you? I think it would make a fabulous watercolour painting and has me almost inspired enough to get my paints out again!

This is looking southwards, down the river and over to Bellerive. Wonderful.





A magic view over Hobart and the River Derwent from Government House.




However, we need to concentrate on the purpose of the post!

Which is to announce the winner of the random number selection from last month's entries.....

Drumroll......

September has Arrived!

Hello Peeps - how was your August? We had a wintery one but it was still a little too warm for a real winter - now Spring has sprung and there is blossom everywhere and spring flowers too. The smells are divine!
