 Good morning everyone and happy Sunday! This week has been a busy week with work, being able to go out with other people for more Km's as well as being creative. With Covid starting to get under control & the weather getting nicer it made me realise that there's not that many weeks until Christmas! Under 9 to be exact!! Add to that the fact that when we are able to get together in larger groups & travel further our days will become socially hectic and I really needed to focus on getting started on Christmas things.  Gift planning is underway & I got stuck into a lovely kit I have called Tag buffet that can be used to make anywhere up from 30 gift tags. I was inspired in part by a lady called Alejandra Gomez from Creating with Allie who showcased her project making cards from this same kit. I can tell you I had so many ideas & so much fun with the supplies in the kit. In total so far I have made 5 cards & 7 tags (as pictured) & even though they are based

 Welcome back! I thought I'd share a photo of some mini desk calendars I've created for gifts. They're pretty easy to make & I think they turned out lovely. I used Stampin up Forever Blossoms, Forever fern & Lovely You products to make them & there are more to be done but this is a little sample of what I've created so far.  I've also been busy making cards & gift boxes for birthdays (can't show you them yet as the recipient hasn't seen it & I don't want to spoil the surprise).   I also tried a Starburst design for the first time & thoroughly enjoyed making them. This will be a design I might make a few more times, including some for Christmas cards. These cards were made using old card stock & DSP that I'm trying to use up as I have plenty to work with but never enough time to use it all! That's all from me for now. Thanks for stopping by!  Alison X 😘

 Hi everyone.  Thanks for stopping by. I've loved creating & crafting for many years now but never had the courage to share much. My kids are moving out of home, only 1 left now, so I thought it's time to explore more of what makes me happy. I've decided to step outside my comfort zone & create my own blog! I have no idea what I'm doing or how this will end up but I wanted to share some of my creations with other people & this seemed like a good way of doing it.  Each week I will pop some pics on of what I've been busy with & explain a little bit about why, how or even who inspired me if that's the case. Hope you enjoy reading & looking at my pics. Bye for now!  Alison
