Completed Printer Tray!!!!!

Its all done!!!!!  My Alpha Printers Tray that is!!!! Its been a year long journey and I am so glad that I persevered with it.

I didn't decorate the tray itself as after cleaning it I found that it was oak.  I also kept the little bakelite knob as its integral to the original old tray.

I shall be participating in The Craft Barns 2017 challenge so I hope to see you there.  Happy New Year to you all xxx

ALPHA CHALLENGE 2016 - Q & B

YES!!!!!!! The very popular alpha challenge from The craft barn blog is back!!!  I loved this one and you can still see my altered dictionary from a few years ago through the tab at the top of my blog.  This year I am working in an old printers tray that I found in a 2nd hand shop.  Someone used one of these the last time and it looked incredible so when I saw the challenge was on again I just had to use it :-D The little cubbies are only 4cm x 3cm so a challenge.   Here is this weeks prompt...the letter Q

Q for QUEEN

The very 1st letter was B...

B for BOOK...I made a little book...

You can find out how to play along *here* !!!  There has been some lovely ideas so far and the letter 'Q' doesn't seem to be fazing people haha! x

Thank you for popping by xxx
