About Me

My photo
Perth, Perthshire, United Kingdom
Welcome to my little corner of the World! I live in Perthshire Scotland with my wonderful husband Eric. We have a daughter, Corinne who is married to Rob and lives in New Zealand, with their boys Harrison and twins Hadley and Dylan. Marie who has a wee boy Jackson, and Greg and his wife Kim, their wee girl Freya, even smaller baby boy Freddie and dog Buddy. I am happy when I am in my craft room, and I love making cards for Charity and also for commissions. I love scrapbooking, and I get my inspiration from my Grandchildren. They are the subjects in most of my Scrapbooking layouts. I have just started to do Mixed Media work, and I am loving it!! I have just started a craft group at our local Church centre, aptly called Saints and Scissors Club! If you can't find me, I will be in my craft room, buried under tons of stash lol!

Isn't he cute in his little raincoat?  I added some clouds. some raindrops, a rainbow, and an umbrella.

The theme is to add spots or stripes, 

so I added some spotty paper

I thought I would also show you the last scrapbook layout I did.



Here is Hayden, celebrating his first Christmas. He had a few little outfits, but this is his wee elf costume.  I think he is adorable!!!!!
Well, I had better go.  I'll be back next week, so Bye for now!
