Waging War

So I've been eager to start blogging for what seems like an eternity now. 
It all started when I was first introduced to Microsoft's SharePoint and I wanted to share the blogging features with work colleagues but it just seemed that nobody else was interested....
That's sounds like an excuse....truth is I was just scared and didn't feel that I had anything to share!? 

 Am I still fearful?....absolutely! Do I have something to share?....ALWAYS!

 So why now? 
Basically, I've come to realise that the only person standing in my way is ME! Dreadful...I know....
So I am waging war against my fearful self and just doing it....and today is the first step towards victory.

 Through my key strokes I wish to share my many interests and ideas, and hope you will be inspired like I have been, by so many awesome people I've met along my journey....

Hi, Every April and September, Alexandra Palace is buzzing with creative beings coming to get our fill of inspiration and crafty goodness.  Now, I have been attending these craft shows since about 2002...and I always try to make sure that I am free to go...but over the last few years I have been finding it difficult to get there....just because of timing and other things going on... But also because it's changed over the years...it's not as great as it used to be... #sadscrapbooker This April I attended after a long while...and I'm glad I did!  I met some lovely ladies, chatted to like-minded individuals, got so much stuff....not like I need it...of course I do...but most importantly was the inspiration and new techniques I had picked up...amazing! One of the things I've learnt was how to make flowers of a material called foamiran.... I have never heard of foamiran before...but it sure does make beautiful flowers.... As I was browsin

Happy Mail

Hello friends, Now who doesn't like receiving happy mail...especially when you've just returned from holiday.... Happy mail sure does have a way of making us go a little bit crazy and beaming with excitement...or is it just me?  Well, this lovely parcel greeted me when I got home and boy was I excited to get that paper ripping so I could see what was inside?! So this altered shoe swap was hosted by the lovely Jessica at MSR (MyScrapRoom.ning.com) and she was also my swap partner.  She altered this shoe so beautifully and I love how she 'blinded' it up... Have a look to see what she sent me... Love me some happy mail....any day! Thanks for stopping by and checking this out... Take care and craft on... Penny

Hello again, So my second challenge to solve as a CSI special investigator is case file 232 . This challenge with its outdoorsy theme lent itself well to the photo of my two girls on our first visit to Guernsey.  In 2007, we were given the opportunity to relocate to the little island of Guernsey....a place I never knew existed. During the school holidays,   we took the kids on a week long visit  before we made the final decision to move.  Coming from the city life of London it was refreshing to be able to walk in nature and take in the sights of sea, sand and cliffs.  We all loved it and it was such an amazing sight to see the girls wander over the rocks.... Our decision was made...and we lived there for the next 5 years. And the two girls in the photo still live today...adventure turned life changer for them. The Evidence: I normally don't use wooden backgrounds in my scrapbooking, but this time I thought I'd push beyond my comfort zone and use the one wood
