A snowy Istanbul scene for the 'Action Pack - Celebration Issue''

Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes for Yashar!  This is one of the many other things that has been keeping Yashar and I busy lately!

A little while back I was contacted by the the amazing Kathreen, founder of whipup.net and author of Whip Up Mini Quilts and Little Bits Quilting Bee She asked me to contribute to the December/January edition of 'Action Pack' (an e magazine with loads of activities to do with kids) and of course I jumped at the chance!

 Yashar and I made this wintery Istanbul scene - complete with Galata Tower, Aya Sofya, the Maiden's Tower and the Bospherous Bridge.  Yashar loooved making it... and so did I!!  Above is a layout from the Action Pack with our activity (and Yashar busy at work!) on the left, and below is the super cute cover of the e mag.

If you would like to buy the Action Pack, with the printable Istanbul monuments and all the instructions on how we made it, you can do so here.  The Action Pack is fantastic - so many activities to do with kids - I think it is around 80 pages this time!   You can read more about the pack here.   It is going to be keeping Yashar and I happy and busy for many many hours this Summer! 

Oooh!  I almost forgot!  You can use this 10% discount code 'WPContributor' to get 10% discount off everything at the whipup.net or action-pack.com store!! - especially for friends and blog readers.  Yay!

Hope you all had a great weekend!  I'll be back with loads more posts very soon  :)  So happy to be back blogging again!
