I am a forty something mum of two daughters with two step-children..I am happily married to John, and now the kids have all grown , I have a craft room all of my own.
I live near the sea in the East riding of Yorkshire.
I am a keen crafter and have been for over ten years now.. Stamping and papers are my first love... when I discovered alcohol markers, I was truly hooked... I can spend ages colouring an image, its very therapeutic..
I have done a couple of magazine articles , and submit loads of samples for tv...
I have my own blog, you may know from a few design teams, and I am in a few Facebook craft groups,and have made so many crafty friends out in blogland .
I always have my nose in a craft magazine.. or while away the hours admiring peoples blogs... the talent out there is truly mind blowing... there are so many tips and techniques to learn, and I am looking forward to sharing them all with the fabulous Spectrum Noir Design team.. they are a truly talented bunch!
