Getting to know you

[Craftyhels]

Hi, I'm Helen, 43, married to my soulmate Ray since 2002 (2nd marriage). No kids, 2 Westies - Jess 3yrs and Tuppence 10mnths. Live in Cleveleys, Lancashire. Started scrapbooking about 2 1/2 yrs ago when we bought a house in Bulgaria (for holidays and eventually retirement) and then caught the card making bug. We both work in a Casino so mainly night work and crafting during the day. I love craft stash shopping and am lucky that my Mum is also a card maker at 76 so we have lovely days out away from the boys spending their pennies
Not had my Robbie very long but love him to death and can't imagine life without him
Finding UKS has been absoloutely great, wonderful people, lots of info and such a wealth of talent all in one spot. Thanks to everyone that has helped me along my new journey in Robbie's World, you're really a fantastic bunch of people.

Hi I'm Carol,

Married with two grown sons, one still at home at least for half of the week! Two dogs too and we all live in West Wiltshire.

I am a card maker, have done other crafts through my life, crochet, machine knitting (still have the machine, loathed to part with it as it was a major hobby at one point and I keep thinking I wiull get it going again!), soft toys, macrame, jewellery making and sewing.

I would love to get into scrapping, have albums, joined a group but only attended once so far, but I just don't seem to be able to get into it!

I work full time, in an office doing accounting type things, enjoying it at the moment as I am on a different project for a few months but my normal job is deadly boring usually! Can't do without the money though, well probably could but couldn't buy all the stash I do!

I have a craft room, and it is filling up as I buy far more than I use, currently obsessed with buying rubber stamps.

I have been a moderator on another forum, but they decided they didn't need us, strangely they now can't cope and have recruited moderators again but not me - wonder what I did?

I don't make enough cards, but have had helpers this weekend that seems to make it easier to bulk make! I sell my cards and put £1 to charity from each one, sometimes I donate the lot depending on the cause.

I spend far too much time online, when I could be crafting, and far too much time on Ebay spending money!

I think I have had my Robo for about a year and a half but don't use it enough and haven't done many templates myself.

Hi

i am 50 years old, married twice, this time for 30 years. two girls all grown up, and working still.
i am a training manager for a care company, we deliver care in the community.
i live in carnforth lancashire but originally from essex.

crafting helps relax and unwind, and ninetendo wii helps me keep fit

Hi, my name is Jenny and I live in Brackley, Northamptonshire.

I am a card maker, a small amount of scrapbooking and also run a business making cards, gifts and keepsakes.
I have 10 year old twins, and I am a single mum... they keep me busy, but are great fun.

I would love to hear from anyone in my area... I love meeting other crafty people.

Just bought a CRAFTROBO - hence the joining up on this site.

Hope to post lots more.... in good time.
Jenny
