Sugar Lemon Sweetheart

So i've been working on some little trinket boxes which have been so fun to make. I have so many ideas I want to explore but i've run out of decoupage boxes so need to make a trip to Spotlight I think! Here are the couple i've made so far. The little one I sold at the last kraftbomb but the bigger one will be available at the next one on the 21st.

I know some people are a little confused when they visit my blog (after taking one of my cards at kraftbomb) and find nothing for sale... I just hate the process of selling things online I guess. I like people to see the stuff, hold it, check it out and then purchase. Also i've never been terribly succesful at getting many sales, probably because im lazy and don't really promote myself. Speaking of which, months ago I uploaded a couple of bags to felt.co.nz. They sat on there unsold and I completely forgot I even still had them listed until last night I got an email telling me i'd made a sale, yay! Sold my little eiffel tower charm pouch, good thing I hadn't already sold it!
