First post!

Finally decided that I should go and get me a blog so now I have yet another addiction to eat into my crafting time! Have spent about the last 15 mins playing with the set up, just enough to realise that it will take me HOURS and I still won't be happy! lol!
Joined the design collective today and can't wait to get started on their classes, all that talent in the one spot, almost too good to be true. My aim is to try and do as many as possible while buying as little new stash as posible, we are trying to move house at the moment and the thought of moving all my stash is frightening so if I can reduce it somewhat over the next month or so it should make the move all the easier.
One of the essentials in the new house is going to be a craftroom, even Richard agrees - I suspect that the piles that gather all around the house get to him even more than he lets on at times, thankfully sailing gear can live on board the boat and in the shed otherwise we would be completely overrun! Abbie's craft piles are even starting to take over now, she has one in her bedroom next to her easel and another in the kitchen next to my desk - she really does take after me in that way, I even caught her the other day trying to "borrow" a 12x12 of some urban lily paper that I had given her a scrap of, she claimed that her offcut was too small!! LOL she really is starting young!
Off to try and make a mothers day card now for the pre class challenge on the design collective and might even get a start on some easter cards for the school fair too! I have a suspicion that I might get sidetracked though, I have had the idea for a canvas going round in my head for the last few days and might just get to try it out this evening,
Watch this space!!!
