About Me

Hello, as you may gather from the title I am Antonia and I craft in my attic bedroom. I started crafting when I retired and love making cards for family, friends and charity

back in the attic

what a horrid day, wind lashing rain and soooo cold so up to the attic, on with the daylight bulb, fan heater, and radio. I need cards for 3 birthdays next month and here's what the mojo supplied
Using Marriane flower dies with spellbinders swirls

The lovely humming bird stamp from barbara gray


                                      and Marrianne dies again for the bird and birdcage.
and while I have been up here the wind has died down, the rain has stopped and the sun has come out.  Off to take advantage of the lull with a quick dog walk.

Thanks for looking and please leave a message

Mmmmm how did this happen?



How time flies from this in 1974 


                                                                        TO




This last Sunday
The first time in 10 years I have been able to get  all my 3 sons in the same place at the same time
Number 3 lives 2 hours away, number 2 lives 800 miles away, and number 1 in NZ.We all got together when number 1 came over  with his family and a wonderful time was had.  I am still smiling and have some very happy memories to look back on
This is us as a family group 3 sons 3 daughters in law and 3 out of 6 grand children, unfortunately we were minus 3 of our adult grand children who had work commitments .    Can you see how close I am to the young man in his daddies arms, it was the first time I had met my youngest grandson (2) and he was christened that day in the same church his Mum and big sister had been. We had a buffet lunch in the local hall thanks to my daughter in laws caring family
Lovely lovely day, I do so wish  the star trek transporter was a reality and we could be together more often but I am grateful  that I have a happy healthy family even if they are so wide spread

Thanks for looking

Antonia
