Something Different

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in so long, I've just lost my mojo to make cards a little bit, which I think is partly because of the fact that I'm moving house in a couple of weeks and we'll be starting to pack pretty soon, which I think has just put me out of the mood for getting crafty, for some reason.

Anyway, at school every Thursday at school we have a special afternoon where we are off-timetable and do something different that we wouldn't normally do and the activity changes every new term, so at the moment, I am doing crafts. We are doing different types of crafts, like cardmaking (yay!), ceramic-painting and jewellry-making, which is what we did last Thursday.

A lady came in who owns her own craft shop in a town near where I live and gave us tutorials on making jewellry, and I found it really interesting and relaxing to do and really enjoyed it and I was really pleased with the end result.

I made this necklace and matching earrings to give to my mum for Christmas, so she has had strict instruction to not look at my blog for a while, hee hee!

I also made a little label out of card to attach the necklace and earrings onto, but I don't want to wrap it because the earrings keep coming out of their holes, and it's just easier to give it to her as it is.
I've also bought her a set of Russian dolls, as she's always said how much she likes them and I just thought it would be something she'd be really pleased with.
I missed school on Friday, because I had a sore throat and a bad cough and cold, but I was feeling a lot better at the end of the day, so I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at the cinema with a couple of friends, and it was fantastic, I loved it! I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of going to see it, it's brilliant!
My cough got worse over the weekend, so I stayed off today as well, but I think I'm going to back tomorrow, I'm glad I still got to see Harry Potter though!
Thanks for looking and have a lovely week!
Love, Georgia xx
