About Me

My photo
BC, Canada
I have been married to the same guy for a LONG time ! We have 3 grown children and the 5 loves of our lives that they have given us ... 4 girls and one boy ! I have been crafting all my life and found my true addiction when I taught myself to use Copic Markers and introduced them into my card making ! I am NOT certified in the use of Copics but that doesn't stop me from creating with them ! I always been a bit of a crafting rebel and don't follow directions well !I love crafting with my hands and seldom will you find them idle as they usually have a crochet hook , knitting needles or a book in them . Exercise is not my strong suit ! LOL ! My husband and I also love camping in our RV ( weather permitting ... as in NO snow !) so most weekends from Spring to Fall you find us camped somewhere with our 3 Yorkies .... though don't tell them they aren't BIG dogs ! Hope you enjoy my little touch of my life .... the creative and the real life !

HAPPY NEW YEAR .... let's start with some challenges !

 I spent a very quiet New Year's Eve as my husband was away visiting his Mother whom had some health issues before Christmas . It is the first time in 39 years that we have actually spent New Year's Eve apart ! Odd to say the least ! My few days of just the dogs and I found me playing in my room getting a few things done and cleaned up .

 There is a change over on the challenge BLOG for JUST MAGNOLIA as it is now the Just Magnolia and Hangler / Stangler Challenge Blog ! If you haven't seen the Hangler stamps then you are in for a real treat as they are so adorable ! Hard to get in Canada but I lucked into a few images from friends ( thanks girls ) and just finshed this card which I am submitting here for the ANYTHING GOES challenge on the site . Hope you enjoy her !
