If you can't beat 'em join 'em ~ so here it is, my very own blog :-D Please bear with me, I'm a blogging virgin so it might be a slow process getting to grips with just what you can and can't say. Also excuse the ramblings won't you!
Having retired myself from my own business, I now have time to catch up on my card making which I haven't done during the last few years. I can't get to classes due to ill health so decided to use my trusty computer to find online tutorials. Well, was I in for a ( very pleasant ) surprise! I of course knew about YouTube but hadn't really bothered to look at it apart from when one of my daughters sent me details of something funny on there ~ I thought that's all it consisted of. Can't remember how it happened but I discovered the crafting and scrapbooking videos and that was it.....I was hooked. It was like an addiction.......I was watching morning, noon and all night long :-) I have calmed down a tad now and have learned so much including altered art. Making scrapbooks from paper bags and envelopes, handmade flowers from book pages.....and so much more.
The days flying by ~ today for instance I've been making flowers out of fleece and leather which will probably be turned into brooches or attached to headbands ( now everyone knows what they are getting for christmas :-p ).
This morning I was watching Barbara from Stamping With Clarity on Create and Craft ~ I love her scatty type of demonstrating, there is nothing scatty about her talent though ~ anyway, she happened to mention a stamp show she was at a few days ago which just happened to be in my area and I didn't know anything about it. I was really miffed at missing it. Never mind, I have promised myself a trip to the NEC next month if I can manage it.
If I haven't bored you too much maybe you can pop back for a chat sometime, I'd love to hear from other craft addicts. I'll sign off now, I'm in need of a cuppa.
