Another crafty day – I love it. I think I need to retire, so I can have every day a craft day 😉 First I created three Valentine’s Cards and then decided to work on my shell project. I glued all the shells and other beach related objects onto my letters. I...

Since I am back from my xmas break from down south, I have enjoyed getting back into shell craft again. I have created some displays with shells to present my nice collection instead of having it hidden in a cabinet. Here another bigger display: And of course the next...
