I'm here!
See told you if there is a bit of blank space I'll fill it! But don't worry there's still lots left for Jackie and anyone else for that matter!
I think I have bloggeritis. I have to blog - I think of it as relaxation, some see it as the last thing they would want to do to relax but hey, we're all different.
I will try to keep on the theme of crafts but can't promise I won't wander a little now and again.
So maybe we could start with our little crafting foibles? Those 'things we do' that are slightly eccentric or indicate that we are a tad strange. We all have them, and over time I have come to realise that us crafters have similar ones, although there is often the odd one that is REALLY wierd.
I will start us off with mine - which has often been a source of merriment between those (you know who you are!!) long time crop members! Pens and straight lines - there are probably others that you will remind me of no doubt.
Pens - I lerve pens, any pen except a blue biro. I will tolerate a black biro but only if there is nothing else around. I prefer fine liners, but also like gel pens. I have too many pens to mention, and usually have most of them with me in my tote. My most special pen is a solid silver Yard-o-Led that was a 40th birthday present, but like Basic Grey papers, I tend to stroke and drool over it rather than use it.
Straight Lines - I have an issue with circles and lines with curves - especially in scrapbooks. If you have read my own blog (click on tismee2) you will see another of my foibles mentioned and understand where this one comes from. Once I was asked to do a circluar album and had nightmares over it. I get that twitchy - it looks 'untidy' feeling. Sometimes my 'advisors' at the crop suggest putting my photos slightly skew on the page. They may as well be running fingernails down a blackboard as it would have the same effect.
Ok I know I'm going on a bit so will leave it to the rest of you out there to add your own foibles as comments and stop me feeling like I'm an unusual person.
