So I have asked the other nominees if they would like to stop by and do a guest post for me. A chance for me AND you, to get to know them beter!

How to make a jam jar lid picture frame
My 4 year old loves decorating objects with pretty decopatch papers. We had fun making our own decorations at Christmas and Easter. With Father’s Day coming up we thought we would make a little something for daddy.
Jar Lid Picture Frame – Materials:
- Jam jar lids
- Decopatch paper
- Decopatch glue
- Paint brush
- Picture or photograph for your frame
- Drill and 2mm drill bit
- Bakers twine
How to make a jam jar lid picture frame:
First of all wash and dry your jam jar lid. Then choose a paper to decorate your lid and tear into small pieces by hand. Brush a small amount of glue onto the lid and place a piece of paper on top, cover with more glue. Gradually cover the whole lid, making sure you cover over the edge too. Make sure to fill in any gaps!
Leave your jar lids to dry for a couple of hours.
Whilst you are waiting cut a photograph or picture to size. When the jar lids are dry glue your image inside the lid.
Drill a small hole through the edge of the lid and thread with bakers twine to hang.
