A Surprise Candy Win from Bubbles

Afternoon Everyone

Sheleen, aka Bubbles, over on Patchwork Apples, offered up this candy, a fabulous mini album, way back in November last year but, what with all that happened between then and the new year, I had quite forgotten all about it.  So imagine my surprise when an email from Sheleen popped into my box informing me I had won.


It's a fabulous mini Christmas album, made from cardstock but in a style that mimics those made from toilet roll inners. It's chockablock with photo mats, labels, journal spots and cute little pockets in which to put all these. I can't possibly show you all the contents (this post would be too photo heavy if I did that) but here's a few photographs showing the contents.

The entire contents

Twas The Night Before Christmas

a pocket full of surprises

And there's more, but too much to show you here. Suffice to say it is packed full and an absolutely beautiful album to enjoy and treasure. 

I have in mind a set of photographs from a very specific Christmas when almost all of the family came to ours for dinner. The house was fit to bursting and we had a brilliant day and only a day like that could be fit for this album. 

Do pop over to Sheleen's blog, Patchwork Apples, to see more of her beautiful creations - she is a very talented crafter.

Sheleen, if you are reading this, thank you so much - it's wonderful and I will treasure it always. 

Right, time for lunch. 

Happy crafting,

  6. Wow Elizabeth .. .. what a fantastic prize.

    It must have felt like Christmas opening it all up and discovering all the little treasures inside.

    Certainly a lot of time and effort must have gone into making such a lovely keepsake.
