Hi, Welcome To My Blog

I love various different types of crafts and have had a dabble at most over the years, some with greater success than others. I believe that apart from loving and giving, being creative is the next most important thing to do. There is something about being creative that taps into something deep within us that makes us feel good with the world. But then we were made in the image of God, God The Creator... so I guess being creative will be second nature to us if we allow. The problem is that many people will not have a go because they make the mistake of measuring themselves against others... and that is just not a good thing to do. I create because I like to create, not because I have to impress anyone else or be better than anyone else. I created this blog with a lot of help from my son-in-law, as a personal scrap book that I am happy to share with others if they wish to take a look.... Enjoy <><

Rachel's Sea Canoeing Birthday Card

My Manager is a very active person and one of the things she likes to do in sea canoeing.

When it was her birthday I decided not to make the usual 'flowery' birthday card but instead put a picture of one of her hobbies.

I saw this photo of a canoe on the sea in google images and contacted Debbie at Plas Gwynant Outdoor Eduction Centre in Nant Gwynant, Caernarfon to ask if I could use it to make a 'one-off' card, and she gave permission.  Thank you.

I really liked this card... although my husband thought it looked too dull.... I thought it was tasteful.... make your own mind up.  I like it anyhow and hopefully so did Rachel.
