Alacraft - My Masquerade Mask - New Years Eve 2013/2014

Hi guys! It's time for my monthly post, for Alacraft!

Also, the $25 craft give-away happening every month, pop your name in the draw here!

Anyway, this month, I'm showing you a project that I made up, for New Years Eve!

I started out with a plain black mask which I picked up at spotlight. I glued down some lace, which is this one, from Alacraft. I then grabbed some rhinestone diamantés and popped them on around the eyes. 

Here is the side view, to show you the details -

I used my hot-glue gun to attach a bunch of craft flowers, including this one and this one. I added some hat elastic and wore it out! 

I loved putting together my mask, and got quite a few compliments on it... 

Here is a picture of me wearing my mask (with my best friend)

And, this is the other mask I ended up with, at the end of the night - 

IRON MAN!

2013 Round Up - Favourites!

Since blogging regularly, I've participated annually in the Blog Round Up, and Favourites. Here are my selections for 2012. 

2013 has been an absolutely year, for me personally, I've had a lot of big changes, including losing almost 80kg (you may have noticed in my selfies...) I've also picked up a second job, finished my first year of uni, and started dating a lovely new guy...  

Like I said, huge year, but all very awesome things!

Bring on 2014!

2012 Favourites - A Blog Tradition!

Well, it's almost the end of another year, which means it's time for my yearly craft wrap up!! I have selected my 12 favourite projects from 2012 to share again with you! You can see my top picks for 2011, and 2010, and look back at what my crafting was like back then, and how it has progressed!

2012 has been such a big year for me, I had some bad times, and some good times, but, it's been a year that is a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Bring on 2013, and some positive changes!
