Christmas Cracker

I'm back - have you missed me?  Don't all shout at once!!!!!

Whoever said that moving house is one of the most stressful things that you can do was certainly correct, I never want to do it again :-(

We've still got things to unpack 6 weeks down the line but at least my new craft room is starting to take shape and there's only a bit more to sort out so at least I can get back to crafting and my design team duties again :-)

The current challenge over at Fussy and Fancy is an inspirational photo, so why not pop over and have a look and also check out the other design team members projects too.

I'll be posting a tutorial for this Christmas cracker shortly so if you're interested in making your own either for decoration or to give a present in please pop back.  I will be holding a class on Sunday to make these so don't want to give too much away beforehand ;-)  Here's the cracker that I've made:

For anyone following my blog, or just popping by to have a look, and wondering why I haven't posted recently - it's simple!  I've been on holiday and then moved house, but I'll be back in craft and blogland as soon as I can and as soon as I can find the boxes with my craft stuff in :-)
