I'm sure I've mentioned it hundreds of times, but my Grandmother is 94 and lives alone, so I like to make her a card for Christmas because she doesn't get very many. Unfortunately her sight and hearing are both very bad, which adds to her isolation - she has a carer who comes in daily… Continue reading Granny’s Christmas Card

Christmas Card Swap Card #5
So I know what you're thinking - what happened to card #4? Well I thought it was better to post 4 cards on time and one late than 3 cards on time and two late, so I used the card I made for World Card Making Day 2014 as card #4... I apologise WHOLEHEARTEDLY to… Continue reading Christmas Card Swap Card #5
Christmas Card Swap Card #3

Feliz Navidad
I went shopping for Christmas dies at the weekend in my local craft shop - The Art of Craft.

I used lots of Memory Box dies for… Continue reading Christmas Card Swap Card #2
Christmas Card Swap Card #1
I've started on my 5 cards for the card swap! I really wanted to use the Lili of the Valley 'Fur Cones' because I just think it's such a cute image & whilst it's not an all-out Christmas image, I love it! Now I must admit I'm not a 'fussy card' maker ie. I don't… Continue reading Christmas Card Swap Card #1
Christmas Card Swap 2014
I've been asked to take part in an international card swap! How exciting! So I put my name in the hat & got 5 other ladies to send cards to. The deadline for posting cards is 30th November so I'd better get my skates on!
Pumpkin Chuckin’
Oh My Goodness! I was up very late on Wednesday night making the bean bag pumpkins for Pumpkin Chuckin', but it was worth it - the little ones really enjoyed playing the game! I got the idea for the game from Pinterest. How I Made the Bean bags: I bought some cotton fabric (doesn't matter… Continue reading Pumpkin Chuckin’
