Charity 2012

Morning all

No card yet today, but i am working on it. I have been using my photoshop software that I got for Christmas this morning and  designed a new banner for the blog. Its not the final banner just my first attempt.

Last year I raised £290 for breast cancer not as good as the year before, due to my operation I was not able to put full attention to attending the summer fares in order to sell them and was mainly concentrating on special orders. The good news is a have a good stock to sell for 2012.

For 2012 I will be supporting the Alzheimer's charity as my Mum was recently diagnosied with this illness and I want to do all I can to support this charity.

Another Magnolia Calendar

Hi all

Well I am just loving making these calendars and using some of my new crafting tools. I have had so many orders which will give me a great start to my charity fund rasing for 2012. I even received a Vagabond for Christmas, but I have not got round to using it yet as I have so much other stuff that I need to use.

WOW - I need another month off work so I can use it all.

Have a great day!

Evening all

I hope you have not forgot me out there. Whilst I have not been able to craft and post I have been keeping up to date with all your creations but not been able to leave any comments. I was so busy the last two weeks before my holiday and just did not get time to craft. My holiday to Cyprus was great and although it was only a week ago since I got back it feels like months.

Anyway today I had to get a card done quick as a last minute order. I got up really early to try and get the crafting juices moving and sorted through all my new digi papers and other bits I had not had chance to look at. I eventually got it together and was very pleased with the end result.
