F is for family, friendship and food poisoning

F is for family and friendship, my  immediate family was my parents and my brother.  Are little family unit is a small one and my brother being 12 and a half years older then me, wasn't really interested in playing games with me.  By the time I was old enough to play games he was off out with his friends.  Lucky for me I had my cousin who was 2 years older then me and my best bud Nik (mentioned previously in my best friend post for the letter B) who was a year older then me.  We grew up together and had plenty of fun even if I was harmlessly bullied by the older ones 

B is for Best Friend

A mini treasure trove of crafty goodness

In this age of social media, internet, emails and going paperless with bills and bank statements, we rarely receive anything exciting in the post unless it's a special occasion such as Christmas or birthdays.  So you can imagine my delight when I received a package from my lovely friend and fellow blogger Donna Trinder from Lost and Found and Donna's room for reading (if you haven't already check out her blogs, they're fabulous!).

Donna emailed me a few days before saying that her mum had received her monthly subscription from Crafty creatives but had decided she didn't want it and Donna didn't think she would make use of it so she very kindly thought of me and my recent craft adventures and thought 'I reckon Kate would like that!'.
