Hi Guy's...I not sure that when the ladies over at Less is More had in mind when they choose the theme of 'What Makes You Happy'...it certainly got me thinking this morning as I sat in my craft room..
Well I guess the family and friends stuff is on top of the list...love them all dearly...Not forgetting darling OllieDog and LilyPuss :-)... wouldn't be without them. My little cottage, very happy that I moved here and count my blessings everyday...
And crafting of course. I just couldn't function if I didn't do (craft) something. I try and 'craft' everyday. I have always been what the family would call 'arty'. I can remember when I was little, always drawing, painting and making things out of nothing much. I have a very strong memory of one Easter, getting an Easter egg that had a bird on the box...don't think it was a chick...but I decided to cut out the bird and make a cage for it from the rest of the box and feeling quite accomplished...much better than just eating the chocolate..well almost. And of course there was Blue Peter..I was always trying to make whatever Valerie Singleton and her predecessors came up with...lol.
My Aunt taught me Crochet when I was little..but at the time it was a bit old fashioned but...in my twenties there was knitting...oh my word...I always had something on the go...at work at the time nearly everyone in my office 'had' one of my mohair jumpers..lol... I also made a nice chunky jumper for a chap who wanted a 'gardening jumper...lol...and a cricket jumper which turned out a bit big but he loved it!!. I am currently teaching myself to knit socks!! I'll have to show you when I finish.
So I would think its safe to say that crafting is 'what makes me happy'.
Here's my card for the challenge...
Now the question is 'is it CAS enough for the challenge?' All I know is that I was very happy with it when I finished it...lol...
Happy Crafting
Simply LOVE this!
