Stuff and Things



The Crafting With Colour KAL is proceeding well. Finished Objects should be posted in this FO Thread (please no chat there). Please also read all the rules carefully before posting to make sure your project fits the rules.

The KAL finishes on 31st August 2015, so still plenty of time to enter.
