Trash Can Mistakes

This was the second lot - too embarrassed to show the first bag!!
Do you ever get one of those days when nothing you attempt goes right - well today was that day.  I had an order for two cards from two valued customers - and no matter what I did it went wrong.  My first lady I made three card options which took a ridiculous amount of time.  Good job I am not charging by the hour!! Then later this afternoon I received an e-mail from another lady and that card took a bit less time but more thinking about as the requirements were precise.

The final result I will finish off properly and publish later - if they choose any of them that is!!  They are not all wonky on purpose - me do wonky!!!  Told you - one of those days when you just cannot seem to get it right.
Anyway I am experimenting with my new camera, and already the box has proved to be really handy. It was just the right size to make into a little filing box for my metal shapes.


One day I may get round to covering the box to make it a bit prettier, but it sits in the cupboard anyway hiding with all the rest of the paraphenalia.  I'm being good this year and only buy new things if I have sold something and so onto my new purchase - a butterfly shape - cause I like butterflies as you would see looking through the card portfolios.

So here is one I made just for me, or you if you like it.  At least it didn't end up in the trash can this time!!
