Life is hectic

I haven’t had a chance to do any blog posting for such a long time, communion & wedding season was crazy, I had so many cards to make, along with the usual birthday cards so just didn’t have any time. Today I’ve decided to take 5 minutes for myself, so I’m sitting here with aContinue reading “Life is hectic”

St Patrick’s Day

One of the best things about being Irish is celebrating St Patrick’s Day so I just had to make these cute little shot glasses I’m not a big drinker, I would have a few on the odd occasion, births, deaths, marriages, Christmas being the only time really that I would have a tipple but afterContinue reading “St Patrick’s Day”

Friends and family sent me some beautiful sympathy cards so whenContinue reading “Pet sympathy card”

Good morning crafters

Id quite a productive morning today. First of all, I upgraded my plan and registered my domain name, something I’d never done before, mainly because I’m totally computer illiterate, but I thought I’d take the plunge and just go for it, if I make mistakes, so what, life’s a learning curve, I’ll take the timeContinue reading “Good morning crafters”

Sorry I’ve been gone

Wow, it seems like forever since I posted a blog, I have still been cardmaking but just didn’t take photos and log it here, we’ve been in lockdown since Boxing Day and to tell the truth I’ve had a touch of cabin fever, thankfully restrictions will soon start to ease and that might give meContinue reading “Sorry I’ve been gone”
