| OMG hun - they are all fab - you are so imaginative!! Keep them coming hun - I might pinch some of your ideas and see what I can come up with.
I think we should have a crafty forum for ideas like this - It just shows that you don't need to spend a lot to make something look fabulous!
Well done hun!

| Hehe thanks Mari, the lampshades came about because I just couldn't find anything I liked for Libby's bedroom and then decided to do something similar for the playroom (because it was so cheap ![Laughing](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_lol.gif) ) xx |
