Mid Week blog #94 - delay in posting

 Hello & welcome,

For those who are regular followers of my blog you will be aware that my life has been in a little turmoil this year. Currently my sister is in palliative care & we are unsure how much longer she will be with us. Because of this & the poor health of my Mum we have been trying to visit both my sister & Mum as much as possible & consequently my crafting time has been reduced. This means that my blog is not quite ready for posting so I will be posting either tomorrow or Friday.

My sincere apologies but my family is obviously my priority. I will return as soon as I can.

Thanks for your understanding, Alison XX

 Hello & welcome to my blog.  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!   Here's a little bit about me. I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. I blog twice a week, once on a Sunday where I mainly showcase a stamp set or dies, embossing folders, projects & sometimes special DSP and Wednesday evenings when I highlight a technique, fun folds or tools & tips. I would love to hear from you if you have any questions or suggestions & my email address for that is craftedbyalison@gmail.com. I am continuing on  with tips to help you get organised for Christmas (or general gifting) with some prep ahead projects. This week there is a cute Gift Bag made with a 8" x 12" piece of DSP.  Ne...
