What a great transformation but felt it was a shame to cover up that lovely snowman but love all your fancy bits and bobs.

Hi Sandra
Just read your comment about your hedgehog - so sad :( They can swim but can't tread water once they get exhausted if they can't get out of a pond and best thing is to either protect edge of pond so they can't fall in or have a shallow slope, plank or some sturdy netting there so they can hopefully find their way to it and get back out, These things happen - odd thing is that we have a frog in the garden here but no pond. Can send you Fred the Frog for your pond if you likey? :)
Hugs, Di xx
I like your transformation of the gift bag. Gorgeous Tilda and gorgeous colours. Hugs Mrs A.

An amazing transformation Sandra - a gorgeous gift bag!
Haha, yes I found you - on crafty sellers where I recognised the dies you are selling from here (yes was tempted by one set, being strong). I did leave you a comment, and tag you so you would know it was me - but I know comments are showing up late if at all!

Beautiful Gift Bag Sandra!
I did like the snowman bag before because I love things with snowmen at Christmas, but the transformation is amazing and anyone receiving their gift in the bag now will love it and will probably spend a good few minutes just having a good look at everything on it.
Hope you are keeping well.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
