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

Birthday Book

Good Morning All

I like to think I am a well organised person, Ok, I sometimes forget things but I put that down to age!!!!

I keep a list of Birthdays.
Family, Friends, Craft Club ladies and DT's I like to sent to.
I did keep a list on my desk, all colour coded like this, and I would cross out and tick when made and posted or given.

So I decided to make myself something  abit prettier and I came up with this little book after watching Dawns Inspirations on You Tube.
This is the front.


It is like a consertina book with little pockets for a card to slip in with one pocket for each month.

This was a trial so not perfect but I am keeping it to use.
I have written all the birthdays down in pencil for each month then I can tick when made etc.



And this is the back, I stuck a diecut on.

*****
Now here is a better version, after my practice!!!!




This one is abit bigger, about 6 x 6 and much prettier papers, from a pad from Joanna Sheen.

I may keep this as a gift.

This all sounds far too organised Wendy but aren't they pretty folders for keeping all those dates in order.
