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

AG for Crafty Ribbons

 Good Morning All

It is my turn to show my Crafty Ribbons make and these are gifts for my Junk Journal class ladies.

They are ephemera holders made from left over pieces of Scrapbook card and odd bits of papers and vellum.  I stuffed the pockets with bits for them to use in their journals.

I have used the narrow Gingham ribbon in blue available HERE.

It comes in various widths and colours and I used the 5mm.



There is a flip card in both pockets front and back with more ephemera pockets.



I added three layers so this created 6 pages and reduced the size of each one towards the centre.






There is a tutorial on You Tube from Treasure Books on how to make these.

I,m sure the ladies  will love them and make great use of all the bits I have included.

I will wish you all 
A Very Happy Christmas

Raising Funds

 Good Morning All

La Finca Castellana Rescue centre is the Animal Rescue place where we got Rico from.

They are desperately short of funds as it is not easy to do fund raisers in these times.

So I thought I would put a box in the craft shop, selling bits and bobs that I have made, to try and help them.  I took it to the last meeting we were able to have for the slimming club and the ladies there generously donated / bought over 35 euros worth of goodies.

These are what I have been making.

I did not put prices on anything just asked for a donation.

Firstly, the box itself

Macaroon grosgrain ribbon from Crafty Ribbons


Bookmarks laminated and a tassle added

Then some little handmade notebooks with the help of Gi Kerr's freebies on Facebook.


I made paper bags from book pages and decorated them and put the notebooks inside.

Then fastened the bags with decorated paperclips.

More notebooks

And more bags.

I dont think too much will sell in the shop as it is very quiet during these Covid times but anything is better than nothing.

Clusters for Junk Journal

Good Morning All

I have been watching You Tube and looking at ways to use more scraps.
This is one way of using very small bits of paper and card.
These are great for using bits of lace, material and papers.
They can be used in Junk Journals to create Tuck spots or just for decoration.
There are many tutorials on You Tube.


Great fun and they would also look good on a card I think.

*****
Well my Groovi Workshops start again this afternoon.
I dont think there will be many there as some ladies are still wary of meeting.
We will be wearing masks.
