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

Recycle

 Good Morning All

 My card today is a card I received for my birthday last year and it was hand painted by a good friend of mine here in Spain.
She is very talented and I thought it was too pretty  to throw in the recycle bag.
My John said I should frame it and hang it on the wall.


What do you think??

Gnome

 Good Morning All

Here is a cute card and I think OK for a Man too.

I'm still enjoying using my scraps and spend time making mats with odd pieces of card, matting images onto card too.


Do any of you do this?

Hearts for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft Challenge this time is 

HEARTS

So I made some Dangles.

I punched  these from scraps of paper and glued 4 or 5 together, attached chain and jump rings then added a bulb pin.

So they are all ready to use in my junk journals whenever I need them.





I sometimes use these on the little gift boxes I give out at my Craft group so it's handy to have them ready for use.
