Sneaky Santa game

Every year in our Etsy team we are playing Sneaky Santa game...

This year was challenging for me, cause my Sneaky partner did no wish list.

I had to play around - use everything I knew about her to find/made perfect gifts for her.

So...

Leda is bookworm from Sicily, Italy who making beautiful felt accessories and bookmarks. She likes cards, earrings and definitely handmade stuff. I like illustrations she sharing on her FB.

I thought... book! But which one? She has so many and I have no idea which she still not have on her shelf... That was lots of thinking :) Result:

You can see movie made on this book in cinemas now!

One of my first attempts with copper - red semi-precious beads inside cages.

Pendant with stone found by myself on local beach during Summer.

Images from Ching's shop: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/gjzcck?ref=l2-shopheader-name, I coloured for Leda :) I thought she can like them :)

Little Christmas card with stamp from Tiddly Inks.

Leda received her parcel today and looks like she likes her gifts, so I can show you what I found/made for her :)

What do you think about my gifts? Do you like them?

Bathroom, cards and high-protein snacks

What a relief!

Bathroom redecoration is finished!!!
Whole thing took about 1.5 week, but was worth it :) Everything new :) Tiles, spotlights, shower, bath, etc! I love our new bathroom :)

I supposed to update my cv - still not done :). I lost my wirewrapping mojo - hope will have it back soon..

During week I checked new stamp - free gift from crafty magazine.

I was colouring 6 images in one go :)

At the moment waiting for rubber stamps goodie bag my man bought me from http://www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com/ from Canada - very cute stamps, just cannot wait to have them :)

From 'cooking' point of view I was making high-protein snack rolls today, result below:

My man said they are brill, checked them too :) They tastes like halvah. Recipe I found on pinterest :) If you want to try, check: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/202450945727237973/

Enjoy!!!

Busy, busy.... :)

Happy receiver/buyer is like a balm on the heart if you know what I mean by that :)

Looks like my gift choices/makes for my Sneaky Santa partner were exactly this what she needed in the moment  - Merry Christmas Charlie!!!

Pic from her Instagram :)

Photos of blue set and Christmas card I made for her you could see in my previous posts, here rest of my makes for her:

Writing/stationary set  - this is my first ever done :)

Cute earrings from SelmaDreams etsy shop :)

Lovely card from Ilovemypencil shop - also Etsy :)

Now I'll be working on bracelet - Xmas gift for my partner's Mum - planning wrap bracelet :) and have card to make for Quick Cards Made Easy Design Team :) Beautiful papers :)

I'm also thinking about making similar jewellery set to this I made for Charlie, but in different colour scheme... maybe I add bracelet to it :)

Plus lots of paper wrapping is awaiting for my attention ( mostly gifts for my little boy)  :)

Bit of cardmaking again :)

Finally had time to finish few cards :) I can say - all just waited to be stick together and now is done :)
Xmas card for my Sneaky Santa partner - already sent out with gifties for her.

Hope she'll like it :)

My new birthday cards:

Just birdies :)

Everybody loves owls ;)

Hmmm, just realised I'm writing only about my cardmaking, but nothing yet about jewellery. Need to do that in my next post then :)

By the way - horrible me - I'm online player - Settlers :) Playing this game long time, but stuck on lvl 45 :) peeps in guild are saying that I'm socializing there not playing :) They are right!!! 

Gifts - who doesn't like to receive them :)

Just received my first Sneaky Santa gift this year, have no idea who my Santa is, but I love my new bracelet :)

This cutie is from Bente Pedersen shop: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Sweetiespearls. Bente has lots of beautiful jewellery pieces in her shop. Check her current offer, I'm sure you'll find something you'll like :)

Also my Italian friend Leda made me a gift - beautiful felt bookmark
