June Day 30......

Well here we are on day 30 of Karoove's fantastic blog

every day in June challenge......and I made it lol! I'd planned on ending

with the double but my little miss is still feeling poorly & with 7 of 

us in the house when one gets ill the others usually follow.......and 

follow they did!! So sadly no crafting time for me at all this weekend...I've 

been on bucket duty instead!

I'm gonna miss this challenge, it's been lovely sitting down every

evening & blogging, I've "met" some lovely ladies & picked up some

fab hints & tips & seen the most gorgeous creations. 

So what are the very last prompts:

June Day 30: What does crafting mean to you

OR

Craft something that has an age theme

So what does crafting me to me......well for the last few years I've 

spent a lot more time at home.....and crafting has definitely

saved my sanity lol! It's my little escape, I've crafted through some oh, so 

tough times and no doubt I will again. It's something I look forward to

every day....sometimes an hour at night, sometimes very early morning

while everyone else sleeps, sometimes, very rarely, a whole afternoon!

I usually craft to very loud rock music, the 

dog usually curls up at my feet, the cats on my desk(?) and the kids

wander in & out. Although it's my hobby they all play a part &

all of them like to know what I'm up to! It's something I share

with my daughter, Rebecca......after 5 boys along she came and

thankfully she shares my 2 favourite things to do....craft & read!

It's something that's always there, doesn't have to cost a lot - usually

does but I like to re-purpose things too and that can save on the pennies!

But the best part of crafting has got to be the sharing....every

crafter I've ever met, whether IRL or in blogland, have been

so kind, generous & friendly and since I started blogging I've met

people all over the world....one I'm hoping to meet for real this Summer!

 So that's it, day 30, a whole month has passed and so the very last

thing I'd like to say is a big thank you to Kairen for organising this 

challenge and fingers crossed there'll be a next time!!
