For the Scrapbook Lady

Hi folks, hope you are all ok and had a lovely day. It's been a nice day here today, turned lovely this afternoon.

I have something to show you all that's a little different to my usual shares. You probably don't know that I am a HUGE scrapbooker and I never blog or even take photos of my makes. Well ..... this is about to change and it's all because of my lovely friend Jen.

I am on The Inspirers DT with Jen and when some of us met up recently she shared with us her mission to get more people scrapbooking. She inspired me so much that I have decided to blog some of my LO's.

SO Jen, my lovely friend, this is for you.

This is one of my adorable Grandson's Bradley 

I used Brenda Pinnock & Anna Griffin goodies

I was so lucky to be invited to the brand new Crafters Companion Aycliffe store  as part of The Inspirers DT get together. I have had the best time meeting the most amazing ladies (and their other halves too) and also got to have a look around HQ and the fabulous shop too.

The store is wonderful, lots of crafty stash, be it all things papery or fabricy ( yes I know, made up words lol! ) a wonderful coffee shop and education area too, what more could you want? Well, to top all that, the lovely staff who work there are all sooooo helpful and friendly. All in all a perfect day!

I did buy a few crafty goodies too.

Rightyoh! I must head off to bed, back to work in the morning.
