Step by step, reviews and hauls. Lets get started!

Let me introduce myself, my name is Ellie, I live in the UK and have a crafting obsession. This blog will be me giving hints, tips and showing off crafty goodies I think you should have too.
To kick things off I have a couple things I have recently purchased I thought you may like to see.

In case you haven't heard of "Craft Box" they sell a monthly box of embellishments and goodies, along with other craft products on their site. I decided to grab one of the boxes, I believe I bought Octobers box. The box photo below initially had a gorgeous orange ribbon round it but I was too excited to look inside and took it off.

To say I was impressed is an understatement. There was so many products inside and such lovely quality, a selection of metal charms, beautiful cameos, lace and resin pieces. I haven't included photos of the contents as you may be looking to get one and want a surprise. At the time of writing this they were sold out on the site, however Novembers box is currently available. Needless to say I have purchased the November box and look forward to its arrival.

I am sure many of you crafters know of Jennifer McGuire, she makes fantastic videos on YouTube and has an abundance of tips to share. In one of her recent videos she shared an idea which hadn't occurred to me. Many of you may have clocked onto this sooner but for me this was a first. She stated she takes colouring with her on the go. I think this is a game changer, off I go to Sainsbury's today and pick up a lovely little pencil case.

For some people such as myself which struggle anxiety this could be really beneficial. I would love to hear from any of you, that do colour out and about.

To tie up my ramblings for today I will share a background I made yesterday, I think its FAB!
I used watercolour paper, distress inks and a water sprayer
to get this effect. Almost a marble look to it, don't you think so?


Thank you for spending some of your day with me, I shall see you tomorrow.
Crafty hugs!
