LONG TIME NO HEAR!

18/03/2015

Well hello!
Time has gone fast and I didn't realise how long it has been since my last post.
Last year I joined a local market and started selling my cards along with some other craft ideas to make a few extra $$ on the side. It was only once a month and some months were quieter than others but the best thing was meeting other creative minded ladies.

Also in August last year I started a REAL job, so the craft market had to take a back seat whilst I adjusted to my new job with more hours and with adults that I can speak to and have real conversations with....Previous job was for an hour everyday in the local school tuck shop serving the kids their lunches etc. Was great while my own kids were still of an age where they needed me home, but since leaving and moving on to High Sch, they're able to look after themselves and I can pursue a new career.

Retail is a lot different than I imagined, but enjoying a new challenge in my life with new skills.
As any parent returning back to the work force will understand, it's not as easy as when you worked full time before kids & had so much time away from the real world of working a 9-5 job
Any way, my card making also took a back seat and crafting days were few and far between, but now this time of year the hours aren't so huge so I've been able to sneak ( make sure I fit in) some crafting time.
Whether it be doing ATC'S for my group I'm in or making cards for my kids friends and their families.
So that's it in a nut shell for now.
Best I get myself in to bed for a busy day ahead tomorrow, I'm thinking it will be a busy one, makes the day go faster.
I have posted some of what I have made recently.
