More books...

These little books are selling like hot cakes at my daughter's work place, which is great cause it's bringing in lots of money for the Little Acorns night shelter in Goa.  We've raised over a thousand pounds now - not all from my card making I better add, but every little helps as they say.  We'll be handing the money over when we go on holiday.  
The original book that I made for Laura which led to people asking to buy one had a paper clay sunflower on like the one in the middle of the photo, but these books have different flowers.  The blue one is a wooden flower and the one on the left a paper one.
So glad I remembered the hundreds of ladybirds hiding in my stash from my Dawn Bibby days.  You may have been there too - you know when you get brainwashed into buying the TSV and end up with 100 ladybirds in red and about another 200 in lime green that you have no idea what to do with, but Dawn said they were wonderful so you handed over your credit card details.
Anyway 10 years later the ladybirds have been used - only another 97 to go.  Do you think I better stock up again?  
The stamped elements are all from a lovely set of stamps by Inky Doodles and the various shades of blue card are all from my snippets box.

These are so sweet! Guess you'll have to make 97 more of them to use up your stash of ladybugs. ;-) Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.

How did you make this post reappear at the top of my dashboard as a really recent post (like within the last few minutes) Ann? I've noticed one or two other blogs seem to be doing the same.

OH yes Ann, I remember getting pulled down that TSV road, one in particular sits in my mind which was a huge pack of K&Co DP's, when I got them some I liked, some not and those ones are still hiding in a cupboard somewhere.

Anyhow, great use of the ladybugs and for such a great cause as well.
