Back To Normal


At last I am able to craft again. My arm seems to be getting back to normal, but who can tell, "old age strikes again". This is the card that I made for my youngest daughter's birthday. This was made from the gift from Polkadoodles, and I loved making the flowers. You can do so much with them. I have also discovered Teabag folding, and with a wonky arm, that has really been a challenge.

Polkadoodle Challenge

I was very pleased to find, that I was one of the winners of last weeks challenge from Polkadoodles http://polkadoodle.blogspot.com/. This was the card with the Hessian and Gold butterflies. It is the first time that I have won anything with my crafting. To say I am pleased is a understatment.
