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 <><

Merry Monday Warm Beverage Christmas Card

What a challenge..... a hot beverage and Christmas, not what I normally associate together, so this weeks challenge was just that. I decided to choose my most favourite drink and link it with the Christmas story by writing a little rhyme.... not my strongest point but it was fun trying. 


Three Kings brought the best gifts
They thought for a King
Shepherds brought their presence
With praises to sing
If I had been present
Looking from stable wings
What gift would I have brought them
Well there is the thing

 There's no doubt in my mind
What it was I would bring
That hot comforting beverage
In cups that go ching!
All ills are put right and
Good humour does spring
So get out the kettle
And let's hear it sing....

                       Tea...... best drink of the day!

      Oh Jen, I feel a tear in my eyes just replying to this. Sally was nearly fifteen years old and two days before Christmas we had to have her put to sleep. Her back legs gave way and she couldn't stand up. We loved her to bits and a month on we still miss her dearly

      Oh Colleen, in England we were brought up on tea with milk, a great British institution. I think it is so much more refreshing that coffee.
