As we're going to London in about 2 weeks time it had to be London-themed, of course... So I got out my Lilly Bimble London Papers and an old Europe map, where I found a map of London inside, and started crafting.
I also made her something small to go with it... As she just read all the Harry Potter books (and loved them) and I came across some jelly beans yesterday, I decided to make her a bag of "Bertie Bott's every Flavour Beans". Got all the pictures through google - nothing really selfmade though.
