Hi, welcome to my little crafty place on the web! I,ve been crafting one way or another all my life, and card making for the last 8 years and am now totally hooked! I live with my husband of 32 years, Robert and two children, Claire, 24 and Andy, 21. I am a primary school teacher and currently teach 6 year olds.

A Cool Ride







Most of you know by now that I'm addicted to the Whimsy Wings of Hope stamp - well here is their Christmas horse, "Cool Ride" so I've made a wee stack of these over the week end anticipating a few sales! Once again, I am so in love with him, what do you think? The photos do not do justice to the sparkles I have used.

Caravan


This was a commission for a 40th birthday, have also just been asked for a 30th on the same theme! Must be the season!!!
First day at school for the children today, looking forward to meeting my new P2 class.

Oriental




I love doing this decoupage, it's very simple but effective and lends itself to lots of different occasions.


Spent yesterday in the garden clearing up etc, hoping to sit in it and enjoy the sunshine today!

A Summer Garden


I made this for my sil's Mumwho loves her garden and couldn't resist another easel card!

Off to the Edinburgh Festival today with Claire. We never pre-book anything, just turn up and see what we fancy and quite often dash from venue to venue and drink in all the atmosphere.

A Little Bird Told Me...











I've had this tree embossing folder for a while and haven't done much with it, will be using it much more now with my wee bird punch!


Today we have A little bird told me... it's your birthday, you've not been well, it's your anniversary, you're engaged, you have a baby boy, you have a granddaughter, you've moved!
