Hubby and I are celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary this weekend! Who would have thought we’d make it this far? We have worked hard to stay together and have a lot to be thankful for, a nice home, two beautiful, successful children, (one is estranged but the other more than makes up for that) and… Continue reading Stamping and Celebrating

The Festive Season is upon us.
You may have noticed I haven't blogged for a month! I have been neglectful but with good reason. I have been working although that is no more (for now). I have also been volunteering at our local food bank. It is a sad state of affairs that in 2018 there are families and single people… Continue reading The Festive Season is upon us.
Crafty Sunday
It was lovely to enjoy a full day of just for me crafting yesterday. The day before I spent many hours cutting the card inserts for my Son's wedding invitations.

The books then go round the circle so each month you have a different subject to work on. At the end you get your book back filled… Continue reading A Jar of….

Anything But Card ATC swap
This month at Hailsham Stamp Club the theme for the monthly Artist Trading Card swap was ABC - Anything But Card. This was probably the most challenging subject as we all had to think of using surfaces which are not obvious when stamping. I found some MDF ATCs online which I painted with a layer… Continue reading Anything But Card ATC swap
