For the next three months, Tasmania will play host to a drilling platform that featured in the 1998 Hollywood blockbuster Armageddon, 
which starred Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler.

The Ocean Monarch, which has been drilling for gas in the Bass Strait off the east Gippsland coast, has been towed to Hobart for maintenance and minor repairs. The 107-metre-long, 21,000-tonne rig is at the entrance of Ralphs Bay in the River Derwent, where it will remain anchored for 12 weeks.

November Challenge #85 launched: Boxes, parcels or bags

 Boxes, Parcels or Bags - TWIST: recycle


Image result for Christmas parcels

How do you present your gifts these days at Christmas time? I have gone away from parcels to swing bags. You can purchased them cheaply at various places OR you can also recycle the ones you are given from various shops which advertise the name of the business to all and sundry as you walk home. 

The TWIST this month is to be thrifty and recycle something when making your box, bag or parcel.

The Random Draw prize is this:


The Design Team have outdone themselves again
Here is the first week's installments!

Hopefully something you can use this Christmas!

Something to brighten up your creative week.....
