My latest creation and my new toy and my newest xmas project

Hello Everyone,

Well the last couple of days the weather has been so warm and sunny, not exactly winter kind of weather which I love, but at least we have been able to do all those outside kind of chores you know the ones I hate mainly weed pulling lol....
Altered a little tin yesterday which is the only thing I have done craft wise all weekend have a few things on the go that I'm working on so will be able to show and tell those later in the week.....

I found this cute little silver trim the other day while I was shopping and I have used this to decorate the edges of the tin cover, and then have painted the tin bottom silver, and used my heat gun to create this paint effect....
Well I finally got my ipad the other day and I have been playing with my new toy ever since I got it, just found out there was the next season of the Tudors so have got that all on there now, it's such a handy item the only thing that should of come with it I think is headphones but that is my only complaint....
