That's #12 Elaine of Waves of Creativity who shared these wonderful collections of inchies and ATCs with us.

And now for our Pinworthy choices.  As always there were so many beautiful entries, it was almost impossible for the Creative Guides to make their choices, you are all winners in our eyes!  In numerical order:

No. 6 - Jo


These beautiful co-ordinating white on white little ornaments were made from things Jo found in her stash, the finishing touches are wonderful and they will make an amazing wintry window display!
Bobbin


No. 13 - Maria


These very tiny (5cm by 7cm) books are actually necklaces and the detailing on each little book is just exquisite!  Maria shares others in her post which are equally beautiful!


No. 14 - Lys


It is so hard to imagine that this fabulous book is only 3cm tall!  Lys has packed it with Christmas Carols, Recipes and Christmas Cards - definitely a mini marvel!


Huge congratulations to our three Pinworthies this month, you really did create the most wonderful Mini Marvels, thank you so much!  We will be contact with you regarding your Pinworthy badge shortly, along with an invitation to be a Guest Creative Guide with us at A Vintage Journey at some point in the future.

We hope you will visit again on Monday for our regular Destination Inspiration post, using the contents of the monthly travel bag, and we hope too, that you will join in our current challenge - Winter Wonderland, details of which can be found HERE.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,

Anne and all the Creative Guides  xx
