Jules Crafty Snippets...

Challenge week 40 at Always With A Heart. As I'm now determined to use my 'snippets' (when the drawer in my desk is empty I have two boxes and two more drawers to use up!!) I thought I would join in with Jules' challenge.




Assorted papers including Bloom and Grow by MME and the first three toppers are actually ATCs which I received in a swap about five years ago. ATCs are not something which I've ever got into apart from this one swap. I kept losing them and finding them again and when I found them again recently I thought they were too nice to be left in a basket any longer and that someone else could appreciate them instead....I hope the 'swapees' don't mind as I can't contact them as I've lost their details.

Back soon, thanks for looking.

Tagged........

.............by Hazel and Jo. Sorry for being so late with this ladies but I am up to my eyes at the moment.
What were you doing 10 years ago?
Running my own business. I had a farm shop on a garden centre which I really enjoyed working at. I had the shop for about 18 months and then it all fell apart (along with my marriage-long story)

What were you doing 1 year ago?
Working on my first really major wedding order. I'd had loads of smallish orders in the three years before that but this one was massive! Oh and I had to make over 300 beaded dragonflies........boy were my fingers sore :)

Five snacks you enjoy:
Chocolate
Bananas
Cream teas (but with coffee-I don't drink tea)
I can't think of anything else as I'm not a snacky person.

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:
Pay for my eldest daughter to have IVF
Move to Cornwall and buy a business
Buy a holiday home in Zakynthos
Make sure all my family were looked after
Employ a cleaner ;) (don't you just hate it when the dreaded h****work gets in the way of crafting!)

Five things you like doing:
Making cards and wedding stationery
Blogging (and blog hopping)
Scrapbooking
Walking
Messing about in my garden when I get the time.

Five things you would never wear again:
Platform shoes
A clothes size 12!! (I only ever managed that once :))
Stillettos
Leg warmers (what purpose do they actually serve?)
Fur

Five favourite toys:
I can only think of one from my childhood and that was my Tressy doll. She had a button in the middle of her belly and when it was pushed, her hair grew! I had loads of clothes for her too. I can remember playing in the garden with her one day and putting her and all her clothes into a carrier bag while I went in for my lunch. When I came back out the bin men had taken her!! I was sooooo upset. I did get another one though.
My fave toys now are my lap top, printer, Big Shot, Craft Robo, my kettle (because it helps me make lots of yummy coffee during the day)

There, I think that's them all. I shall now tag

I forgot to say on my last post that I have been invited by http://www.theartisttradingclub.com/ to be a Guest in their ATC club. ATCs are not something I have ever got into but I have accepted their kind invitation and am really chuffed to have been asked.
I have also been asked to be the Guest Designer for the month of June on Di Hickman's blog. I am really chuffed to little mintballs!!! :)
