Happy New Year

Hi folks.  Sorry, this post is later than I planned....I'm going to blame technology, I couldn't load photo's from my phone, so had to wait for my lap top before I could do anything.  How frustrating eh!

Anyway, my Happy New Year wishes are just as sincere.  I hope you all had a nice evening, and lets hope 2017 brings us happiness and love.

2016 was a mixed bag of a year for me.  I started my brand new adventure with Hochanda and Crafters Companion. I can't believe that was only last year!  It was a big step for me, and a risk leaving a job I loved in an established company - to join a start up.  But, it has gone from strength to strength, and I'm so pleased I made the leap.....it's good to be excited yet terrified at times!

Life was fun, exciting, it had good times and unfortunately some sad times....but that's what we all have to deal with isn't it, and there's always something positive to be gained from the hard times.

2017.....well, let the adventures continue. Who knows what the year holds, but I hope we can all go into 2017 peacefully and.....CRAFTILY!!!  Bring on the craft :)

I've waded through some of my photo's from the year....I love doing this. I've picked just a few to share with you.....
