About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Happy Sunday

Good Morning All

For this weeks challenge at my Craft Club I asked the ladies to make 
A Criss Cross Card
This is mine

This one opens like a normal card.

I gave them all the card, ready cut and also a full piece to make two if they wanted to.
I also gave a paper pad to let them choose some paper.
It will be very interesting to see what they come up with
They have two weeks for this one as John and I are going to UK next Friday for 6 days to go and visit his Mum and my family of course.  We always stay with my Mum as she has a spare bedroom.
************************

These are the gifts I gave out - Small notepads which I made covers for with a little tuck pocket on the inside front leaf.



I will have to get  my thinking cap on as I am running out of ideas for thses gifts.
One week I tend to give sweets of choccy and the other week something crafty or useful.
If any of you have any ideas, please comment and let me know.
****************
Onto last week challenge which came about because I made this card for friends anniversary with a hidden sentiment , so I asked them to make a card with the sentiment hidden away on the front.
