Mini swap Club

I got this idea from Bona however hers was full so it inspired me to start one for myself.
So if anyone out there would be interested in joining please either leave me a comment on my blog or email me.
I would like to start the kit swap in February.

Guidelines for swap are:
Total of 10 partners and it will be first in first serve.
This is going to be an ongoing swap so if are unable to complete the swap then unfortunately you loose your spot.
Kit has to include at least 5 chipboard bases.
Base can't be any smaller then 6 x 6.
Kits have to be loaded with stuff.
Can be made up of stuff you have but must be in new condition.
Kit has to have stuff in it you would want to receive.
Kits will be due to your swap partner by the the end of each month.
You will know by the beginning of the month who your swap partner is.
Have to have a blog and email address so you can share what you have received.

Thanks for looking and look forward to hearing from anyone interested.

Finally a DSC Member

So I have some exciting news, I have just becomes a DSC member (Deux Shabby Chic) and this month will be my first month of doing a mini album swap with Vangie.
I am so excited and a little neverous at the same time as all of these members are so talented and for me I feel like a virgin to all of this so I really hope I do Vangie swap proud.

Anyway I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great new years.
Keep watching this blog as once the album is finished I will posting pictures of the final product.

New Blog design

As you can see I've got a new blog design and I just love it.
Its really a huge thanks to Michelle and her team @ Laycock design.
This is all in aid of changes in life and hopefully I'll end up being a butterfly at the end of it.
Also I hope to blog more regularly and join in a few more challenges weekly

I leave on this beautiful day with an awesome saying a friend told me " If you are going through a trouble times and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, then walk down and turn it on you yourself"

I'm Back

Well I'm back, I know have not been blogging so much but life just got really hectic with moving houses, my cousions wedding, looking for a new job while coping of the stress from my existing job and then last Sunday I fell off a ladder 4 meters above ground.
I was lucky that I didn't break anything but I've got an almight bruise and concussion.

I also have not really done much crafting either but I hope to soon.
I've also made a new resolution that when I visit another blog I should comment as there are so many talented crafters out there who deserve the acknowledgment.

Anyway back to work but I hope to have sometime this weekend to do some crafting but who knows.
