Pyramid Boxes

My cousin Angela sent me a fabulous Pyramid Box made using the free template from Pink Petticoat filled with some yummy chocolates and I was inspired to do the same and give them to my husband for a Valentine's Day gift. Here are my versions made with Pretty Doodles and Little Big dots papers from PP and filled with heart shaped chocolates from M&S. Speaking of M&S, did you hear that they are taking over Poundstretcher?
They're going to be called StretchMarks !!! Boom, Boom!

No harm, no fowl.......


Last time I went to the craft Fair at the Brighton centre I bought the template for a Chicken basket and this yearI just bought a plain chicken. It has absolutely no purpose at all but I love it and have made five so far. I love the Cathie Shuttleworth templates, as they are so cute but well within the range of my limited abilities. Mind you just as I was standing at the Cathie Shuttleworth stall to buy this and another template (for a running rabbit - only £1 each - what a bargain!)some dozy tart stabbed me in the side with a walking stick folded up and sticking out horizontially from her bag. It wasn't one with a rubber stopper on the end but a sharp pint like on a shooting stick. She wasn't that concerned, commenting mildly that "Perhaps I should keep my hand over the end" Perhaps? It was an offensive weapon and it bloody well hurt. I was in shock at the time but I now wished I'd kicked off about it. People are so arrogant! The title of my post in no way indicates my well being or state of mind about this incident!
