Lovely Christmas day.

We have had a super Christmas Day.

The children have loved it and loved all the presents.

They both have a drawing desk, so it means I don't have to share the big table now!

I will be able to have all my crafting goodies out again in the next couple of days.

I am looking forward to making some new items.

Playing with my new things.

I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I am in Print!

This is a letter I sent into Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine.

All about how much their craft forum has kept me going though

all the high's and lows this year!

It reads...

' I wanted to let you know how much the Cardmaking & Papercraft forum has helped, inspired and supported me. Whenever I am stuck for ideas or need advice,someone has been there for me, inspiring me with new cardmaking ideas and teaching me new styles and different techniques.

Everyone on the forum has also been there for me during my recent back surgery. I was sent many loving and supportive messages, get well cards and even a bouquet of flowers! I've also made friends across the world, including from the Philippines, Australia, Spain and Germany!

I've been given the confidence to help others learn new techniques.

I'd be totally lost without the forum in my life - the friends, the love and support.

We cry together, we laugh together and we celebrate life together. Thank you so much for giving me the chance to become a part of a very big happy family.

the comment said: This is so lovely to hear, Kerry. I'm so glad you find the forum therapeutic! It's great to know our readers are establishing friendships through our website.

Not Blogged for a while...

Even though I have not blogged for quite some time,

it doesn't mean I haven't been busy!

I have been making some new Bag charms,

and some great new earrings.

My best friend came yesterday and saw a pair I was wearing,

she didn't believe me when I told her I had made them.

She then went home with two new pairs of earrings

( I made them while she watched)

Plus a bracelet for her daughter!

This morning I was busy watching my son's second Nativity.

This year he was a star, my daughter wanted to join in,

but doesn't start nursery until next September

Here is my little 'STAR'

It was lovely to see him so confident.

Hannah was great, sitting quiet all through it, and applauding people at the end!

Some more Beading.

Here are some more of my creations.

The one below is for a small adult, another of my nieces.

The earrings below are for my Mum, yet another pair!

She will have so many to wear.

The pearl in the middle of the bottom row is a lilac colour.

Below is another pair, this time for my lovely sister Trace.

I made these ones after the ones above and did not copy them at all.

I have already wrapped mum's up!

Trace's ones have a purple pearl in the middle. I have been meaning to make a white pair for ages.

Never getting around to it!

Well now I have, I think these look great.My final lot of beading to show you,

is a white Handbag charm.

Its another of those things I have been meaning to make.

I will be selling these on ebay, if I get any interest.Below are some hand crafted boxes.

I bought some to begin with and then thought I can make some.

So out came the holographic card.

I think they look great,

though the flash has not shown them to their best!

I have some pink beads made up ready to go,

lets see what they make? !
