Welcome to my blog & my first ever post!

 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

 Hello & welcome.  My name is Alison & I live in beautiful Melbourne, Australia.  For those of you who have previously visited my blog & are now returning, thank you. For those of you who are here for the first time, welcome & Happy Father's day to all the Dad's out there, I hope you have a wonderful day. Sadly, my Dad is no longer with us so to those who also are missing your Dad I send you hugs & love.  Here's a little bit about me.
