simple things

One of my favourite shops in Salisbury is the india shop.
Lots of lovely things to browse and buy and they have a fair trade policy which is an added bonus.
I bought a little gift for my mum and it was popped into one of these paper bags made from magazine pages.





This afternoon I unfolded the glued down folds to see how it was done. My brain doesn't work well enough to work it out otherwise despite it being a very simple thing to make!



I'm in love with it's simplicity and quickness and have made 3 torn from pages of a Christmas magazine.


Simple things make me happy.

    oh yes, I love those Indian newspaper / magazine bags - aren't they great?
    Thank you for all your support, positive thinking and lovely words this week and leading up to the Panel day. I'm still floating on a cloud ...
    Happy days to you,
