Hobbies and Crafts

I wont be able to do craft stuff today as I will be at a meeting until 2.30, just what I need the week before we go away. Still not many more, I am giving up in August.

I'm currently trying to balance crafting against housework, gardening and land rover club paperwork. Thankfully there won't be much in the way of club paperwork after the end of the month shame i can't say the same about the housework!

I have had to cancel my appointment at the physio.... don't ask, I am spitting double quantities of feathers!!

Do I still qualify for the shopping trip, do you reckon????

Love

Daff xxxx

oh, and I don't like my hair and didn't have the heart to say so! triple feathers being spat!

Sorry I am lost, is this thread anything to do with family trees??

Absolutely, Hazel ..... we are all scrapbooking our family history and memories ready for the next generation. And some of us are novices being assisted by others....

Have you been on all the other non-geneology threads asking the same question?

Daff

do you have a problem with a thread that so many enjoy Hazel?

Daff I think you definitely still deserve the shopping trip, more so if anything to make up for having things go wrong.

And yes definitely a thread to do with family trees. It was my tree that got me into scrapbooking and now aside from encouraging others to present their research in a lovely way I am recording everything and anything about my life and the lives of those around me for prosperity

Hi all
managed to hobble round Hobbycraft on sunday and found some card that seems suited to promarkers - done my first lot of stamping last night and coloured in one and love my promarkers but I need more colours :-))
Hope everyone is well- Sarah I Love your craft room :-))))

Yes to do with trees but also any craft, F Trees were what started me off scrap booking but that was only the beginning. I can't see what Hazel's problem is. Are the A-Zs to do with Family trees?

Jan, are you still not properly well? I hope you have not been overdoing it. Glad you like the promarkers.

No Ann still cant walk properly, although arms are much, much better one of my knees and ankle is pure agony at times - Have blood tests on thursday
Im obviously going to be in need of a big get well pressie from Rick after all this :-))

Good luck with the blood tests then.

Ann, when you do go away, have a lovely time and hope the sun shines all the time for you and T....


Love Jean xx

Managing to get some crafting done here today as well as enough housework to keep things going. Am working on a fold out layout that is the same area as three single pages so is taking some time. It is going to be a 'who i am now' page to kind of work with my birthday next week, if i carry on at this rate i'll be a year older before I finish it.

Sorry to hear you are still suffering Scatty

My fold out LO is finished and I've blogged it too. Now if it would just stop raining I'd be really happy

Goodness you have been busy Sarah. I have put mine on hold until after we come back from spain.

Thats brill Sarah - well done

I finally managed to sit down and do some crafting... It was an easter card, the first one I did was a no-go. cant believe I have forgotten how to do stamping, but second attempt was o.k.....lol....my problem is not enough room.... but I will get better organised..Sarah, I recall when I used to sell cards, all those years ago, scrapping was unheard of so all my time was spent on cardmaking, but now I love doing scrapbooks your LO sounds very interesting,I didnt know what a blog was until I came on here.. But I dont think scrapbooking is over popular even now , when we went to the States in 1962, it was very big news, and still is I believe

scrapbooking is definitely cardmaking's poor relation and sadly so often misunderstood. I'm sure some people imagine us with those big sugar paper books sticking in newspaper clippings and the like.

i do scrapbooking too i am family history and putting my photo in it pauline hazell

I think Memory books sound better, Sarah,Well I have just put all my craft stuff away,just cant get my head round it all, so I am going to do some sorting out I have a struggle to get everything out so I need to have a look at how iI can improve it all, I miss having my own craft room, now it is daughters home office.....lol....wish I could afford to get that wonderful craftstorage where there is a place for everything.....ah.... well can only dream...

love Jean x
