MY VERY FIRST BLOG

Well, this is my first blog and boy am I nervous!  Do I know what I am doing - heck no!

First of all I want to thank Suzie from Suzie's Card Den for helping me with my blog layout etc.  I am so technophobic and she said she would set everything up for me and Hey Presto - she did!!!  There are some really kind bloggers out there and Suzie is top of my list.  You should stop by her blog at http://suziescards.blogspot.co.uk/  she is very talented.

I have been card making for around 14 years now.  I started out with one stamp and an ink pad stored in a biscuit tin.  I progressed to a carrier bag! and now have a craft room - full of everything crafty.  Ooh I also have between 4-5000 stamps and am still counting.  My crafting has been a total stress-buster as I had one of those jobs that made you want to tear your hair out!  I was able to come home and toddle off to Planet Susie where crafting is everything and all is lovely.

I will admit to being a tad obsessive about Spellbinders and dies in general, having around 250 sets of them.  Stamping is my first love, although I always use a die cut to stamp onto and to layer up.

As this is my first blog, I will keep it short - I do tend to waffle and go on a bit.  I will also attempt to add a piccy or two next time.

Thank you to anyone who may read my blog and who may leave a comment - please be kind - ooh I'm now laughing out loud!!!!!!!

  2. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the world of blogging. This is awesome and I so look forward to seeing this site progress and, therefore, get to know you even more.
    I wish you lots of fun but give you one tip that many long time bloggers gave me and I have learned just recently - don't let it run your life. Let your blog be another joy in your life and don't worry if you can't make a post now and again. I nearly gave it up recently as I started to worry about what everyone would think as I'd been away so long. Now that I have relaxed about it I actually can't wait to get back to it properly.
    Good luck my sweetie. Enjoy. Big hugs Linda xx
