<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have been writing penpal letters for over 5 years now it is a passion on mine. I first started when I was about 13 but not sure what happened lost contact with them. I love being part of the snail mail community I have met such lovely people from all over the world. Mid last year I took on board having more penpals I'm currently up to around 25. It has been so much fun creating letters and sending them all over the world. Here is a look at some of the Letters and flipbooks I have sent in the last few months.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have been taken hostage by the snail mail revolution. I have been pen-paling for about five years now to one penpal. Now that I'm a stay at home mum I have taken on board a challenge of having penpals from all different countries around the world. I love the idea of siting down to some old style letter writing, it's a great getaway from technology. I get to use all the beautiful stationary I have and I like to collect.</span></span></span></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">What has happened, well I was busy looking after a toddler and pregnant with my second child. Corben was born in October</span> <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and eight months has already past I have been very busy juggling the both of them as they have been very time consuming, with only 17 months between them. I'm hoping I will be spending my free time crafting, creating, gardening, and of course baby and toddler food cooking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> Below are some of my latest creations which are now listed on <a href="http://www.tokyoties.com/">www.tokyoties.com </a> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It's May already time seems to go so quickly these days. My son Felix is now one and another on the way due in October very exciting times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">To celebrate Felix's first birthday my husband and I took him to the National Rhododendron Garden in Mt Dandenong for a picnic. It was a beautiful autumn day with lots of colour exploding all around us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I haven't picked up my Nikon camera in such a long time opting for the easy iPhone to take most of my photos and it was great to hold it again and to take some amazing photos to be proud of. It reminded me of a talent and passion I have that has been lost for awhile now and it was great to get inspired and back into it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I took many photographs but here are some of the special ones.</span><br />

After a disaster last year with no plums due to a bad storm which brought with it strong winds and blew off all the flower buds. This season has made up for it with an abundance of plums. Some I have already given to family and friends but I have been busy making plum jam and sauce. I thought I would share with you the recipes I used. </span></span></div>

Bring mixture back to the boil. Stir it regularly and cook until setting point is reached. Strain the jam using a colander this will remove the pips but let the jam run through. Pour into warm sterilised jars and seal immediately. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Summer is here.......well officially in 1 day</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Today is 38 degrees the first hot day in a long time. I got up early this morning to water the garden and to pick all the ripe strawberries. A few big ones where sadly eaten by some snails but oh well I don't mind sharing. Now what to make, a smoothie or just to eat them as they are mmmmm maybe both...... </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Put the small cog and stopper back on... next slide the cranking handle on and give it a few turns all the cogs should move and this will send the oil into the bearings to lubricate them...After a few turns everything should be moving smoothly</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Now to put it all back together</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Just go backwards on the way you pulled it apart </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Plates on first</span></div>

I had decorated it 10 years ago in a shabby chic style. I thought it's time to get it's old original charm back.... <br />
<br />
I tried sanding it back by hand and using a scraper but a layer of black paint and white paint was hard to get through.... So bring on the paint stripper! <br />

Once it was covered in paint stripper it was so exciting to watch it bubble and <br />
blister. Then the fun part came scraping it off. Oh and a warning I had gloves on but I got some paint<br />
on my arms and boy does it burn I washed it off straight away and was fine after that......so all in an afternoon the end result was pretty good.....<br />

I think I stared at the envelope for about 2 minutes before I even opened it.... WOW I was soooo anxious to see what was inside...<br />
Soo excited as I was opening it I had my legs curled up underneath myself while sitting on the couch and tearing at the sticky tape and turning it upside down on my lap until all the contents came out. I didn't know what to look at first but I knew I had to read the letter first its just a rule you have to abide by, just like when you get a birthday present you open the card first before the present...<br />
After reading Natsuko's letter it filled me up with much happiness it's just great to share your life and life's stories with another... Then came the goodies some very yummy chocolate and I must admit it didn't take me long to eat it, some beautiful postcards, cute little sticky memo's and this really amazing magnet that she made it's called "Kimekomi" ....I have seen similar crafts before done on polystyrene balls but this is really great and I would love to try this sometime....<br />
I cant wait to write my reply now and I'm full of inspiration again and to get back to crafting!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This is a very quick tutorial on how to make a plain wooden ruler</span> <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">into a very cute ruler......</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Materials </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">- Wooden Ruler</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">- Fabric Glue</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">- Ribbon/lace</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">- Nail polish remover (only if your ribbon is see through)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>Step 1 </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Cut your ribbon to the length of your ruler</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>Step 2</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b> </b>If your ruler has any text or brand on it and you are using ribbon or lace that you can see through do this step..... Using nail polish remover (I used the wipes) rub off the text/brand this might take some rubbing... you could also use some sand paper to rub it back....</span></div>

I have just purchased two new clover tools and added them to my ever growing collection. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
This has made turning fabric tubes right side out a whole lot easier no more using chopsticks safety pins </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
and no more screaming......... </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
This is great for making bag straps and small piping you can even turn fabric right side out and </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
add cording or elastic at the same time </div>

<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm in love with this pen you can draw on fabric </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">it comes out pink and in a few days</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> it has disappeared........ </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Or if you want it to go away instantly you can change ends and </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">use the eraser..... </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is much easier than using chalk pencils that need sharpening all the time...... </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I have found it to be great for marking out embroidery and to mark the spot to sew button holes........</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The instructions say that it can stain some fabrics but I haven't come across this yet and if it does you can wash the fabric and it will come out.......</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> I recommend this pen a fantastic investment for any crafter....</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I have been wanting to post this for awhile now and finally can. I changed the design of my label and thought i would do a tutorial as I made them. Why pay to get your labels made when you can easily make them yourself....</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Items Needed</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>* Linen Tape ( I used 2cm Tape)</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>* Printer transfer T-shirt Paper ( I used Epsom brand)</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>* Scissors</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>* Iron</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>* Computer program like publisher or photo-shop</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
I used publisher to create my label.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
I went into page setup and changed the page layout size to custom and made the dimensions 2cm X 5cm.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
I also change the copies per sheet so I ended up with 45 labels on a A4 size paper.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
I used word art to make my text ....This is so you can flip your text horizontal </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<b>*Remember text must be in a mirror image</b>*</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
To flip text go select text and go to <b>arrange</b> in the menu bar go down to <b>flip or rotate</b> and then click <b>flip horizontal</b> now your text should be a mirror image.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
Make any design you like then you can print it. I changed my printer settings to best photo to get the greatest result....</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Cut out the label from the transfer paper and cut linen tape to size make sure the tape is fluff free and clean you don't want fluff pressed under your transfer.....</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Set you iron on a low setting and have the steam function off... Start to iron the transfer onto the tape make sure you go right to the edges keep moving the iron around so you don't burn the transfer paper...</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Let the label cool then you can peel the paper back off and WOW you have just made you own designed label......</div>
