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.

A Special Thank you

The other day a received a surprize package through the post.  It was a large envelope full of stamped images - there were wine bottles and wine glasses. gin bottles, with glasses to match with extra slices of lemon and ice cubes, as well as champagne bottles and champagne coupes, along with beer bottles and frothing beer mugs etc, etc.  Infact, virtually every type of alcoholic beverage with it's appropriate glass.  As you can imagine, I was over the moon and I needed to give an enormous thank you to my dear friend and fellow crafter the Crafty-Stamper aka Carol.

So, I made this simple thank you notelet to send to Carol.


Most of the elements for this card came from one of my old Kanban Crafts kits - the organsa ribbon, mirri card and flat backed gems came from my stash.

Carol popped one of her own creations into the package. I am speechless, it is a stunning tag card and, honestly, my photographs do not so it justice.  Please drop by her blog to get a much better look at some of the cards Carol makes.   I promise you will not be disappointed, just make sure you have plenty of time, because you will not want to stop looking after just one card.



Enjoy the rest of your day.


Dionne

      Compared to your card, it is clear that we are in an entirely different skill class but you continue to inspire me. Thank you so very much for all of the glasses and bottles, they are perfect for masculine cards.

    What a lovely surprise to receive and I love Carol's card. Your thank you notelet is also gorgeous. The mirri card gives it a really luxurious finish.

      It was a lovely surprize and they will probably last me as long as those letters and numbers. I really need to practice with that new trimmer to get my mounts square, they look really wonky in this picture - it's either that or get the old trimmer out of the bin.
