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

Doodle Bookmarks

 Hi Everyone

I've decided to blog midweek again but instead of a card I will will be showing anything but a card.  It maybe, like today, a crafty item I have made or it maybe photos of where I live or where  we are on holiday or something else.  We will have to see.

Anyway, today it is Bookmarks I have made, three infact.

I started with a page from a water colour paper pad.  Cut it into bookmark size, about 8 x 3 inch.  I used my new Watercolour paints on the top have just to add some colour to stamp on.

I used my new stamps from AALL & Create, they had a sale on so I went abit mad and bought afew, had them delivered to my sisters in UK and collect them last week.  I will use some of them for raffle prizes in my Junk Journal Group.

Then I painted something that may look like flowers (I am definately no artist but enjoy the process) so dont laugh at my efforts!!!!





Then I laminated them, I did round the corners too as laminted plastic can be quite sharp.



And added a tassle (homemade) and a dangle charm to each one.






I shall include one in each Journal I either sell or donate..
Selling is now a problem as Spain is not posting to  USA due to Trumps Duties and I did sell mostly to USA, so annoying.  But saying that, a lady in the UK bought one and she was charged some sort of tax on it too.

Honest opinions please.
Yay or Nay to my Bookarks.
