Ok, folks! I warned you that I’d ordered some Letraset Promarkers and that they arrived, didn’t I?
Well, I’m back to share with you my creations. Not bad for a total novice I think! What do you think of my first attempts?
I’ve watched the tutorials on the Passion for Promarkers Blog. Looking at a couple of larger creations I’ve made, I’m not totally sure that I’ve mastered what they told me to do to blend, but hey! Give me time, I’m a determined little bunny! I think part of it is that my Rose Pink and Ruby colours are too far apart. I think I need some more closely matched colours! 
What have you created with Promarkers? Come and share your creations with us.
Until next time…

These days if I’m not shopping on EBay, i’m purchasing cool items from dotcomgiftshop! I no longer have a craft room due to having a baby…and a husband!! Our spare room is packed with my craft stash but is known as the “games room” for my hubby! So I lost my desk to craft on. I have, however come across some fab items to place in the spare room to make it more girly and more inspirational…and i’m just going to wait for hubby to notice
Recently in are some cool items that would look uber cool in my craft room! Why use a cake stand…as a cake stand?! This item is really cool click here and you can get it in a small or large! I also love this trinket pot…chocolate truffle!!!
I also found this hanging bird decoration for my craft room. I love the patterns and the fact that it’s birds! 
Anything called English Rose is going to be loved by me and my daughter. Wouldn’t this make a handy tool tote? I really do *need* this bag!
I will be adding more…as I purchase! Feel free to comment on this post about your finds for your craft room.

Wow!!! Thanks to Sharon giving such a great idea to make her own ribbons, I got my freebie Letraset Promarker out of my pen pot that’s been gathering dust for many a month now, and had a play. I have loved it sooooo much that I hunted out my 20% discount voucher that was emailed to me from Letraset the other day, and treated myself to the pack of 12 Promarkers on the Letraset webshop. They arrived today and I’ve had a little play. I am already mightily impressed with them. Of course, as a complete beginner I’m not able to get the fantastic results that the ‘old hands’ are getting, but I love them, love them, love them!
So much so in fact, that I’ve just been back online and ordered the skintones, the pastels and the grey multi sets too.
I’ll photograph my first attempts to share with you in daylight and update this post then.
I can see me colouring rather a lot more now!

Inspired by the post below by Lisa and…espesh the stamped ribbon! I thought you might like to see me get creative.
I firstly tore up an old pillowcase into strips, I left the frayed edges as I like that “unfinished” look. I then stamped them using a ProMarker instead of an ink pad (*wash stamp straight after use)
I am really pleased with the results, to see what I did with the ribbon come see me HERE

I’ve really got a bug for searching out shabby chic style fabrics recently and I’ve found these gorgeous fabrics on Etsy that I though I’d share…
Cherries Japanese Linen Fabric - This fabric is so cute. I love the cherry print as well as the linen texture.
Vintage Scraps - If you’re looking for small pieces of fabrics for your crafting these are perfect. Lots of pretty vintage prints. How lovely would these look made into Yo-Yos?
Cottage Chic Floral Fabric - I just love how the bright colours in this fabric shout ’summer garden’. Looking at this fabric just makes me feel happy.
Coloured Organic Cotton Scraps - More scrap fabric - this time the pieces are larger so have many more uses. The colours in this collection of so sweet, ideal for a little girl. The seller also has other coloured lots of scrap fabrics.
Hand Stamped Ribbon Trim - If you’re looking for a something a little different this trim is gorgeous! It looks so natural and as a huge fan of anything polkadot, I’m in love.
