Paper Crafts with Marloes

I thought it was about time I wrote another blog post.  I haven't written a blog post for a while.  I have been trying to get many projects done.  Recently I had  my living room wallpapered, it looks fabulous but am still getting around to putting some artwork/pictures around the room.  We are also saving up for a new lounge suite.  With my creative time over the last few months I have managed to work on a few of the Workshop on the Go kits.  These are fabulous!!! I find they are easy to follow have everything I need in the kit.  These are also a great stress buster!!!. The Workshop on the Go kit that I am currently working on is Hopscotch. www.marloes.shopctmh.co.nz
