The Nitwit Collections Lavender FQB set, a complete organisation set to get the new year started,

I am often sat in bed or in a chair too tired to move very far, its not my idea of fun but i had to adapt my normal. Im often awake but cant do much in the house for fear of waking the children up, so my life has been turned upside down thanks to chronic illness. It's very frustrating at times because people look at you and see a perfectly normal looking woman, the dont see the pain, the lack of sleep or total fatigue I live with but thanks to crafting I have an outlet, I have something that makes me smile. i have some amazing friends some who live far away and some just around the corner and to thank them for all the times they come to my rescue i make things for them, this set is just one of those things, and it gave me something to do between christmas and new year. 

This first project uses the Oxford file die set from Tonic studios. but not in the way it was originally designed for, it was made by the lovely Jodie Johnson, Tonics amazing front lady, she is the face everyone knows most but she is part of an amazing team that really inspire me, and yes i am a fully fledged Tonicaholic, but i do use other dies too, especially when they contrast so well with what i already have.

To create this i followed the tutorial by Jodie Johnson on Tonics youtube channel, 

This was also created with the Oxford File die set from Tonic studios, 

and it was made using the method in the tutorial on my blog.

Now we go off to see Helen Griffin at Simp;ly Made crafts, 

Using her new bundle

with the Perpetual Calender, and the mini file boxes. 

These are super cute and so simple to put together, 

The drawers below the calender are from another set, 

made by Helen Griffin 

and fit perfectly below the perpetual ca;lender. 

I am certain there will be more items added into this set just have to wait and see what dies are available or if my friend wants a rolodex with positivity quotes on to keep her smiling
