Two wonderful Blog Awards, Also trying to get my head round how to use a Template

LOL do I win longest blog title ???  hmmm do I?

my first award is from a wonderful and talented lady who called Gill who goes under the name of Drumcloggirl on the Do craft forum she has a marvalous blog which is well worth a look at

So here is the award I got off Gill Thank you so much Gill
This little award comes with several rules I must name three things I would never do ...

1.   I would never give up  my usual gallon of tea a day I love tea, normal tea, posh tea with milk no sugar...bliss
2.  I would never be a minimalist, I love so many things and like to surround myself with them
3   I would never knowingly damage someone's self confidence


Now the the next rule of this award is that I must pass it on to three other wonderful blogs

I would love to give this award to

Joanne
Suzie Boo

Now today I am trying to work out how to use a new template I got off my husband off a handbag I will take photo of the template to show you Now my first thought was get a piece of 12 x 12 paper fold in two cut out on fold so that it forms handbag bottom

Wonderful handbag template

so I got a piece of 12 x 12 inch paper to try it and the handbag wont fit so guess I need to use  2 pieces of A4 and join at the bottom or 2 pieces of 12 x12 I wonder if anyone has this template and have they made a card from it, also would they like to share any tips on the how to I will set to working it out shortly

I say I will set to it shortly but the time it takes me will be longly is that even a word lol


Watch this space for maybe a handbag or maybe a mess


Thanks again to Gill and Debbi for my wonderful awards it certainly is turning out to be a marvelous month for me
