Grow your blog

Hello!

Sorry for the delayed post!
Tehnical difficulties with Google and Microsoft not wishing to play together!



I am a crafter.  I love to play with paper, fabric, paint, fibres and sometimes all of the above!
I started Scrapbooking for my mental health about 16 years ago.  Then stamping and card making was added 14 years ago.


 I used to do a lot of cross stitch but had to give it up when I developed carpal tunnel syndrome.  (I have since re-aquired a few booklets and some threads to do smaller projects)  This past year saw me learning to crochet.  The catalyst for this is an upcoming trip and I wished to make little gifts for an exchange.  Check out my crocheted Mickey ears!

I have also started on an Altered Art Journal journey.  I love to learn how to use my tools in a variety of ways, since I have collected WAY too many tools and supplies of the years!  (Haven't we all?) 
So please feel free to browse through past posts and hopefully follow me as I discover (new to me) techniques and share them!

Hugs to you all!

Cindy :)

Cute Mickey - really cute! Hope you have a great time bouncing around the blogs...I've just started and already have found so many great new ones! Happy Sunday - Tanya

  13. Hello Cindy.
    I started an art journal in October but I don't have lots of tools and toys to go with it. In an RV, I can only have so many "tools and toys" and that means my quilting and painting take precedence. I enjoy the journaling though mine is perhaps not as varied as yours would be. Happy GYB!
