I found out how to make it whilst blog-hopping today on 'Scrap Time' - Creations by Christie. There was a step-by-step video which you can follow here (it also has a halloween blog candy offer).
On mine I also added a hole and threaded through some co-ordinating ribbons.
I think my sizing was a little out, so when I do them again I won't make them quite so tall.
The other activity I did tonight was to paint some abstract colours in my 'New to You' altered book:
I just love the dry brush effect:
..and I also like the fact that you can still see the original writing in between the colours.
I may have a problem doing my journalling on all that colour though, so will need to think of a way of toning it down.

Regarding 'True Stories', Shimelle's writing course that I started today, I have had a bit of a think about the questions people ask me and the one question that I get asked the most is, 'Where do you come from?' The answer to that is England but I am really only Half-English, as my father was yugoslavian (as was then). I have the look of an Eastern European, with olive skin, which I guess is the reason people ask, but I have only ever lived in this country.
Sorry for the lateness of this post, technical problems,
See you tomorrow,

Great treat bag and your book is coming along nicely. I love the thick shiny paint - it still looks wet. Great to see you've started your class too. Jaqui x
