Blogging about my new collection!

If you have a minute I have a little story for you.....some months back I entered a competition online to win a printer. I filled out my details and stated why me and my little framing business would benefit from a wonderful new printer and then forgot about the whole thing.

To my surprise, I was contacted and informed that I had been selected to receive a new printer – YIPPEE!!- I was amazed and very happy. My new printer arrived and… Continue

Love Crafting!

Today I had a great excuse to make lots of cards. It was my daughters birthday party a couple of weeks ago and she got given loads of lovely birthday presents from friends and family. Although I have only just gotten round to doing it. I have just finished making all the thank you cards, but can't believe I left my camera at my mums so can't even show you brag photos of how well they turned out. Oh well, you will just have to take my word for it.

Go on, find your excuse to make… Continue

New to this

Hi there,

I have been making jewellery for about five years but have now narrowed my jewellery making down to bag charms and bracelets as I enjoy making these the most, and they are also the most popular on my webiste.
