Happy ScrapHappy Day! 

ScrapHappy Day is the 15th of the month, when a  group of bloggers each post a blog about using up their scraps! Any material of genuine scrap status is allowed:  I have used scraps of wood; yarn; food; and fabric.   I’ve also seen posts about: scrap silver; polyethylene; paper; electronic equipment; metal; food – and I think just about everything else you could imagine!

Shenanigan’s feet got all dusty from all the frolicking…

…but at the end of the day we had 25 little bags of home made pot-pourri…

The youngest Human and the youngest Hitty (wearing new scrappy overalls)  made a sweet smelling contribution to this year’s advent calendar…That’s the November scrappiness from the Quimper Hitty household!
