Hi, it's Maria here and it's so nice to see everyone enjoying our little piece of cyberland.
Today I am going to share my little tip for displaying those all important photos without spending a fortune.
I love having lots of piccies around the house but I will admit to having a few that only see daylight when certain visitors are expected. I also run out of frames that are just the right size for that picture I must have out. With this in mind I always have a stash of cheapie plate holders. You can pick them up in Homebase for a couple of pound and they fold flat when you're not using them.
I have included a photo of a *naked* one and one with a 8"x 8" layout. They go with any of your frames and look fab when arranged in a group on a shelf or coffee table. I did have a photo of them on display but it is on the girlies' pc and Graham packed it away to start decorating ........ Men!!!
Anyhoo, I hope that this rather rushed piccie gives you an idea and that you found my little tip useful.

A huge congRAtulations to Rachel Millington who has won herself a kit from the fab Scrapagogo!!
All you need to do Rachel is email us at [email protected] and we will pass your details over to the gogo girls!!
Lovely idea, Maria; I wouldn't have thought to use a plate stand, but that looks great! :)

What an absolutely fabulous idea!Can I put in a request for a future project?? Last year I wanted to make my little boy a christmas advent calender which had pockets for me to fill - but didn't no how to go about it so didn't bother! If any of you have any great ideas for this I'd love to see them!I know its early to be thinking about Christmas projects - but with a toddler and a baby I dont get a huge amount of time for my crafts s o would need to start this early in the vain hope of completing it before 1st December! :)
