Mia has been making things for her housemates, this is the last year together so they all decided to create gifts for each other. She has been so lucky to have been put with this group of young people, I really hope they all manage to keep in touch.
Anyway, after lots of 'what shall we do Nan', ( yes I got roped in obviously, haha ) she decided on pin boards, made from wood circles, padded with foamboard, decorated with lots of photo's from the last three years together and a map of the area they lived in, lots of lovely bits and bobs and then we roped around the whole thing and added a loop for hanging, it was all really personal to each one but, I have no photo' to show !!!!!!!!!! I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and she has gone back for the last couple of weeks to spend together, I can't believe I was such a dud...Anyways, I did get a picture of the envelopes we made to put extra pictures in, nothing special really, the DP was from an old-ish pad, added a TH die for the front and a negative strip, also TH and thats it.
So sorry for long story, anyway, she is back home for good....I hope....next month just in time for her 21st birthday, can't believe it at all..
Thats all folks, really sorry again about the long story for a couple of envelopes haha.
Have a great weekend, hope the sun shines wherever you are.

The pin boards sound lovely Janette, a really great idea for a gift and memento of the happy years they have spent together. Shame about the photo- I really think you should make another one so that we can see it in all it's glory....just kidding! It must have been so good for you to know that she was living with lovely friends whilst away at uni. My daughter is in her 40s now and still talks about her uni days and the girls she lived with for those years and the fun they had!
The little envelopes look fabulous by the way as I'm sure the boards do!
Not long now until your girl is home for good- and onto the next stage of her young life!
Enjoy the weekend

Oh no, get Mia to send you a photo through WhatsApp!! I'm dying to see them now lol. If the little envelopes are anything to go by they must have been masterpieces!
Gosh, I didn't realise I had missed so much, these are fabulous, and what a lovely idea, love the filmstrips too. x
I love your little envelopes and the details on them, love the grunge look, well, not that grungy but great colour..

That is wonderful Mia is back home. Mine is home for the summer and next year is his last year. I love the little gift pouches.
A lovely catch up Janette - and these pin boards sound such a lovely idea, the envelopes look fabulous so I bet the boards were stunning.
It will be lovely for you to have Mia back and I'm sure you'll have lots of crafting catch ups.
