Allsorts Challenge #860

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

LIz is the host at Allsorts this fortnight, and she would like to see more than one fold. Anything goes is alright too! 

I made this: 


 

It's a Double Decker pop Up card that I got over here! I altered the pattern so the right hand panel could NOT be seen from the outside. 

The image is Penny Black fresh flowers which was a recent win over here!

Two prizes, a bundle of craft essentials from Stix2 plus an A5 stamp set from AALL and Create. Details on the Allsorts blog! Go see what the other ladies have created!

Keep your heels high and your standards higher.

 Hello, hope you are well!

I have been creating here and there when I have a minute!

I made this, and my GF that Facetimes once a week says, 'it's not my favorite.'

I said, 'It's not mine either, but some kid will get this and love it!'

And honestly, this is a re-do! 


 I had the House Mouse lobster on my desk. He needed to be put on a card before he got lost! The spiders are stamped and embossed and the rest are stickers and embellishments!

Our public library is doing a Fund A Friday. Money from the government has not increased since 2009 or something crazy like that! And we want our librarians to have a living wage. The committee has raised almost $70,000, so today the library is open! It's a trial for 3 months. The fundraising campaign will go until the end of December 2026.

I have been busy wrapping Blind Date with a Book. Tomorrow and Sunday is the Pumpkin Hayride. I volunteered to help both days with the sign-in and waiver. (I am too short to help people onto the wagons!) Weather's supposed to be good! The Friends of the Library book sale goes the weekend after Thanksgiving, which is October 12th in Canada. The Fundraising committee has a booth in Spirit Square for Light up the Town at the end of November, and that's what we're wrapping books for! We took 100 Blind Date with a Book the the Fall Fair, and came home with 4.

I am still stocking the book-room at the library, doing my shift at the Tuck Shop, Scrabble, and visiting my mom daily. There's also a municipal election coming up, so am going to a town hall, there's a Federal Election in October too. Window washing is in the near future and I will survive!

Have a lovely weekend!

Talk to ya later!
