my first blog

I'm Fiona, 43, married for 24 years with 2 grown up children and am bringing up my grand-daughter. I started crafting many years ago, used to make tapestries in the 1980s before I had my children, then later on started cross-stitch, the latest one was in 2008, a christening sampler for my neice. I started cardmaking just over 3 years ago, my favourite technique is decoupage but also love heat embossing. Need to increase my stock of stamps though. I started making ATCs in March 2008 and quickly became addicted, have lost count how many, but have ade 100s this year, and also made so many new friends both online and meeting them for crafting events. I find crafting very therapeutic as my health is poor, I have fibromyalgia and suffer from depression, craft helps me forget for a while.
