Flowers for grandma :)

Grandma has quit smoking so Alex (my five year old son) and I decided after a phone call to cheer her up with some flowers. (I find real flowers just don't last that long.) So I bought Alex the Craft Planet goody bag, which is where most of the bits for the flowers have come from.

Take a look:

The items I used:

Double sided sticky tape, Poundland

Glue, Anita's tacky glue,

Flowerhead bases: Flowers, Papermania shaped cards

The stems: Bright coloured pipe cleaners, Craft Planet

Decorations:

Flower punch
My Minds Eye papers for the punched flowers

Metallic leaves & other metallic shapes, my pink craft box

Green ribbon, local haberdashery

From the Craft Planet Goody Bag:

Foam shapes, various colours

Googly eyes, various sizes

Pompoms, various colours

We took them round to give to Grandma and Alex said, " These are for you to cheer you up", which had the desired effect. She smiled at my little boy's sweetness. I'd wrapped the flowers up in a brown paper bag to keep them from getting broken. They're in a vase at Grandma's and Grandad's house. Looks quire nice on their mantlepiece. Nice one Alex!!!!! :)

Also, if anyone reading this lives near a B&M's or a Home Bargains, they have some fantastic little drawer sets for your desk or bigger ones for the craft room.

I picked up one of the little plastic blue 3 drawer stacker drawers for my craft table. Needed one to put my little bits in so I dont lose them. I'm well known for putting things down and not remembering where I put them. I find it SO frustrating from time to time. I know they're in my room, but i cant for the life of me, find where i put the damned things.... :/
