Scrapbook/Card Making Workshop

Went to a Scrapbook/Card Making Workshop over the weekend, I would really like to get into the Card Making, this would be very useful. The Scrapbook side I said (not for me) but after attending the workshop, what is the old saying - never say never. hehehehe.
After seeing all the achievements and projects the others were doing with their photo's, well hmmmmmmm. I just might drag out all those old albums I have stored in boxes etc.
Besides doing the crafty thing at the Workshop, what a nice day and good company was had by all, I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to attending another next month.

Hat Box

A much needed box to keep my hat safe (for red hatters), I couldn't find a large enough one within my price range, so decided to have a go and make one. Must admit I'm very proud of how it turned out although there is room for improvement, which I will keep in mind should I need to do another. LOL
17inch (43cm) Diameter x 8inch (21cm) depth
