Thanks for playing along with yesterday’s Guess the Word challenge!

As a few of you said last week’s word was too easy, I tried to make this one a little trickier.

Lots of you still got it right though with … PENCIL

I chose this one because this vase with the pencil design is one of my favourite teacher gifts, I love gifts that can be enjoyed long after they’ve been gifted and these jugs make a lovely vase for a bunch of flowers, but they also work beautifully as a keepsake on a teacher’s desk, filled with pens, pencils or other classroom essentials.

Do you think this works best kept for flowers, or keep it on a desk for pens and pencils?

Right then, last week a few of you said the mystery word was a little too easy… so I’ve tried to make this week’s one a ...

Right then, last week a few of you said the mystery word was a little too easy… so I’ve tried to make this week’s one a bit trickier!

It’s time for another round of Guess the Word.

This week’s mystery word has 6 letters.

Here’s your clue:

“The more it works, the smaller it gets.”

Pop your guesses in the comments below and let’s see how long it takes someone to get the right answer this week.

I’ll be back tomorrow to reveal the answer.

Have a lovely rest of your Sunday. What have you all been up to this weekend?

Public Service Announcement:

There are only so many times you can say “I’ll sort the teacher gift next week” before it becomes this week!

If it’s still sitting on your mental to do list, here’s a few ideas to make life easier.

From personalised jug vases and mugs to fillable apples, gift tins, cards and wine labels, everything can be personalised and sent straight to your door.

Have you already sorted your teacher gifts or are they still on the list?

If you need any help choosing, my messages are always open.

Got a couple of hours left of the day to squeeze in a this or that Thursday.

Wedding season is in full swing and I wanted to share some new designs I'm adding to my wedding collection.
So I'd love to know who gets your vote this week, are you team this with the wedding couple or team that with the wedding outfits?

Let me know in the comments which one you'd pick

Father's day is coming round fast, so here is a little look at a few of my cards currently available.

I have cards for darts dads, fishing dads, sports mad dads and gamer dads, I always try and and create cards that feel personal to the person it's for instead of one off the shelf, and if you can't find the right Dad vibe in my shop then bespoke orders are always welcome too, some of my favourite makes come from your ideas and inside jokes!

So for everyone who still has sort Father's day on your to do list, I've got you covered

Teacher gift season has a habit of sneaking up on us, doesn't it?

A huge thanks to everyone who played along yesterday and guessed the mystery word correctly, the answer was APPLE.

I chose this one because apples and teachers are just iconic, and it seemed like the perfect excuse to share one of my favourite teacher gift ideas.

These personalised fillable apples can be filled with sweets, chocolates, stationery, gift cards, or any little treats you know they'll love. They're a lovely way to say thank you at the end of the school year, while giving them something they can keep long after the treats have disappeared to use as a desk tidy.

I know how quickly sports days, summer fairs, class assemblies and end of term events suddenly arrive, and before you know it you're trying to think of a thoughtful teacher gift at the last minute. That's why I love gifts like these, personal, practical, and ready to be filled with whatever suits your teacher best.

If you were to get one of these, what would you like yours to be filled with?

Sunday has rolled round quickly, so let’s test your guessing skills again.
This week's mystery word has 5 letters and here is your clue:

You might find one in a lunchbox or on a teacher's desk

So what do you think this one could be, pop your guesses in the comments, I'll be back tomorrow to reveal the answer and share why I chose this particular word

Have a lovely rest of your Sunday, do you have any exciting plans, I am hoping for a dry day as the garden could do with a bit of TLC?

Wrapping up Friday…. On a Saturday

I know this is usually a Friday thing but I blinked and the week was over 😂

The craft table has been a little quieter than usual this week, one thing I’ve learned running a small business is that not every week looks the same. Some weeks are a whirlwind of orders, and some weeks are a little slower, but I’m always grateful for every single sale notification that pops up 💛

Any of these catch your eye this week?
