Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

Snowy Mailbox

We have reached the midway spot with the current Crafty Boots Challenge, which is the ever popular 'Christmas in July Challenge'.  We have already seen a lot of fabulous projects but there is still a week to enter yours.


My Design Team card today features a Delicious Doodles image called 'Snowy Mailbox.'.  I coloured the image with my F& C pencils and added glitter to highlight the snowy bits.  I then mounted the image onto some silver card and some of my favourite red glittered paper.


The backing paper is from Papermania's First Noel pack and the flowers and berries are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the silver snowflake die is by Memory Box.

We have a lovely lady as Guest Designer this week, make sure your pop across to Crafty Boots Challenges to see her fabulous project or go direct to her blog - 'Paper, Markers, Ink, Oh My!'.  You will also find some great Christmas projects from the rest of the Team.

Have a good week.

      OKay, so you have got this house but Pamellia and I are have the next two we come across. The snow is looking pretty deep here, so wrap up nice and warm when you go out.

      I know, this house looks lovely and warm but Teri has drawn lots of these Christmas scenes so I am sure I can find houses for all of us! I can just imagine the Crops we could have if we all lived in the same village.
