The last couple of weeks I've busy making "stuff" for Saturday's summer fayre at the local primary school. I didn't sell an awful lot but as I always do really well at their Christmas fayre I thought it would be rude of me not accept their offer of having a table!
I made some notebooks in various styles as these always seem to be popular.
These masculine ones fit in with the new challenge which starts today over at Crafty Cardmakers. Feebs is the hostess this fortnight and as it will soon be Father's Day here in the UK, she has chosen that as her theme. She should like to see anything you've created for or have been inspired to make by the father figure in your life. (Please be sure to let us know the inspiration behind your work).

My dad loves cowboy films (in particular John Wayne ones), gardening and making lists!
He's also a dab hand at DIY and in his (much) younger days had a motorbike.
I also made some "girly" ones for the sale ...
They're pretty self explantory, made with various diecuts, DP and a little stamping.
Our sponsors for this challenge are The Paper Shelter (who are donating a $20 voucher) and Woodware Craft Collection. Hope you can join in with us.
I'm not going to be doing much crafting the next few weeks. Via the wonders of the internet, I've been in touch with a "newly found distant cousin" in Australia. She's meantime in the UK on holiday and she's going to be spending about 10 days here in Aberdeen, so I'll be up to my eyes in family history stuff and doing the "tour guide" bit with her.
Thanks for popping in, it's always greatly appreciated.
Take care

Your notebooks are brilliant Suze I really love the one for your dad and the reasons why you chose the themes you've used. Just the sort of creation I was hoping the theme would inspire.

As someone who has had a passion for notebooks since as long as I can remember these definitely appeal to me.
I love the fact you altered to different styles, something to suit everyone.
Brilliant transformations.
