Over on the CASology blog today there is a photo of me and a bit of information about my family, how I started card making and some other little bits and pieces.
One of the things I mention is our house which is 106yrs old. I'm not sure if I've shared photos of the house before, so thought you might like to see where I live:
This is our old house which we are about three quarters thru with renovating. When we purchased it you couldn't see it from the street and the whole front yard was filled with huge, overgrown trees and bushes.
This photo was taken from the front deck showing some of my roses and garage. Oscar is waiting patiently by the front gate for his walk.
I'm going to be on the CASology blog for the next three Fridays, so I hope you will join me! Next week I'm going to show you my craft space, which gives me a week to tidy up. And will show you some of my favourite CASology entries from over the years.
To finish off, this is the first card I entered into a CASology challenge. The word was 'Rain' and it was in April 2014. How funny that two years later I am a Featured Designer and still a huge fan of this challenge!!
See you next Friday!!
Shona
