Natural History Mini Book - Vol. 2

Hello!

Has it been a long time!? Absolutely!!! I hope everyone is doing well.

I am writing up this post on the blog to first let you know that there a new Mini Book kit has been added to my Etsy store, it is nature themed and it is so pretty!

You can have a look it here. I also have a video overview of the finished book:

Today I published the first part of the tutorial series, in which I talk about the tools and supplies used in this project, as well as demonstrate how to assemble a cute little storage box for fussy cuts.

I promised to provide you guys with the list of tools and supplies. It was getting too long to fit into the You Tube video description box. For that reason, I decided to post the list on the blog and at the same opportunity, to let you know that I am fine, breathing and crafting :)))

Hello everyone!

First of all, let me thank you for checking on me and stopping by my blog. I haven't updated it for a while, mostly due to lack of time. It's really challenging to keep up with all the social media and update all of them simultaneously. I try to make sure that my YouTube channel is always updated with the new projects and things that I have to show. I also add various freebies to my Ko-Fi page quite regularly. My Facebook and Instagram pages have been less up-to-date lately, but I hope to get back to them soon.

In the meanwhile, let me share with you a few recent projects that I have been working on. They are created with my own digital kits, which are available in my Etsy store.

Majestic Owls Folio:

Mushroom Collector Mini Book:

Antique Fashion Mini Book:

That's all from me for today! I hope you take care and have some time to dedicate to crafting ❤️
