We received the latest box from mila & pheebs, this is a great subscription box for kids containing stationery and crafty activities. You can see a previous box reviewed by us here.

    Regular readers know how much I love subscription boxes. They are a great way to try out new products and I’ve tried some fab ones, ranging from food to stationery to craft kits and more. My husband is finally getting in on the act as today we are reviewing Cornerstone, a men’s shaving subscription service.

    I’ve neglected my hobbies in the last few months and hardly spent any time being creative.

As usual the box contained four #papercutting  templates: Safari Animals, Safari Party, Looking on Safari and a Safari House. I’ve nearly finished the Looking on Safari template. There were some…

It’s a quarterly, creative subscription box, delivered to you at the start of each season containing sewing, baking and other surprises inspired by nature and the seasons. I loved the sound of the subscription so signed up and eagerly awaited a delivery. As this is a quarterly box the one I…
