I could tell you were struggling, but that is okay because your craft room is nearly all packed up and you are limited in your resources for building a collage, totally understandable. You still pulled what you had available to you together and brought us another lovely collage. Thank you for sharing your time with us. I hope and pray your move goes smoothly. If you don't mind me asking, where are you moving from and to? I totally understand if you would rather not say. My best friend lives in Harlow, Essex, and I love coming to visit her. I love the UK and am always overjoyed when I get the opportunity to visit. Take care and have a beautiful week. xx

Oh my, this really is amazing Carol ... I think it's actually one of my favourites! I don't think I've ever said this before but 'thanks' for including the close up photos at the end, they show so many details that the video can't pick up. Can't wait to see what you create next week. TFS.

I particularly love this weeks project- especially the colour palette. The little girl image is very sweet. You have pulled off a very good collage considering you have such a limited range of tools and stash available to use. We are your hoping to move Carol? How did week 39 come round so fast! Thank you for sharing ❤

Thanks so much Penny. That was sooooo kind of you to say and I'm thrilled you liked this week's assignment. That wee girl was cute and fit the bill for the prompt, I thought. And like you I love that colour palette. As for moving ( load groan!!!!) not anytime soon or so it seems. Our buyers lost their purchaser the day before Exchange of Contracts, which means we are all back on the market again. C'est la Vie. On the 'silver lining' side of things it means I'll be able to get my MM assignments finished this year.....lol. BIG hugs C xx

Your origami envelope box tutorial is by far the best I have seen. I can’t thank you enough as I will be making many of these for Christmas this year. Have you ever thought of making a tutorial on the origami thread boxes? That would be wonderful as I want to learn to make them. Again, thank-you very much. I can’t wait to shopping for some pretty paper and get started. 🩷

Sandra, firstly apologies for not replying to your comment sooner. I've been under the weather of late with a rotten cold that I couldn't seem to shake....lol ( such a drama queen !!!) Thank you so so much for leaving me that lovely kind comment. Bless you. I'll see what I can do about doing a video on the origami thread boxes. They're fabulous fun to make...... I've made a few! I wanted to 'give it a go' and made a Japanese thread book for myself. A couple of my friends saw the end result and asked me to make them one too. Great fun to fold. Have a great week and thanks again. Hugs C xx

Hi Fabienne, there is no rule or none that I know of. Each week, I just go with the composition that pleases me or rather is pleasing to my eye. It's very much my own personal preference and I have no idea if what I put together is a good composition or not at the end of the day. I'm so sorry, that's not much help in terms of answering your question, I'm afraid. Big hugs C xx
