First Altered Project

Whoohoo! I finally used some of my craft materials which had been hibernating in my craftboxes for a long time. The problem with me is I always collect these stuff (I am a terrible hoarder of all things) and then when it comes to using it, I always hold myself back, thinking they're too precious. I'd been visiting some craft blogs the past few days and had been inspired to make something since I'm in the process of decorating my 'work corner'. I finally woke up to the notion that when you've used something, you can always buy it again. So! I have more excuses to go shopping!

I bought a nifty penholder from TKMaxx which can be rotated. I like the 4 compartments and the fact that it's all white (like a blank canvas). So, I got working last night using some cardstock, ribbons and embellishments and this sits on my desk now.

I'll be working on my diary next. Adrian bought me a diary in an effort to help me be more organised. So, I'm going to beautify it in order for me to want to use it more often. As superficial as it may sound, I'm a very visual person.

You, my dear, make me proud to have you as a friend. Utterly creative!

I wouldn't expect anything less from you, really.

Great work, babes!
