Where has the week gone

Well now where did the last week go. It's almost friday again. I've not had time to draw breath. I spent the whole of today making cards for orders. I gave up about 3pm cause I kept dropping stuff.  I did manage to get my orders delivered and people happy with them.  I have to say thank you for all your kind words about my rather small blog. You may all regret offering to help me.

I should say a little about what I've been doing. I was at a great demo at Howdens Inverness last weekend. It was Erika Gunter. I picked up a few great tips. Oh and a few goodies as well. I managed to come home and buy a couple of new Impressabilies folders as well. 

I will try to post some pics on here but I need to find out how to watermark them first. Any tips on that would be gratefully recieved.

Where to start

Ok be gentle with me as I've never blogged before.  My name is Maureen. I am 55 years old. Married to Charlie for very nearly 30 years. Where have the years gone.  I am a supervisor in a coffee shop up here in Moray. I've worked there for 26 years now but hey who's counting.

I started my crafting with knitting as a kid ( taught by my father ). I moved on to counted cross stitch and really enjoyed that but found that I was getting a sore neck and head doing all the counting and concentrating.  About 6 or 7 years ago while on a holiday in The Lakes my hubby showed me a decoupage kit that was reduced to clear in Lakeland Plastics. I thought I'd give it a go and it's taken off from there. It only cost me £7 for the kit but now it cots me a whole lot more than that lol.  I love most papercrafting styles and will try anything. At the minute I am loving stamping and using promarkers. 

I am doing my first ever craft sales table at the end of next month and looking forward to that although at the minute I am struggling to decide how much to charge...
