About Me

I’m a wife, mother of four, nana of two and a child of God.  I’m very happy to have found a hobby that I can relax with quietly in my home.

I am on the waiting list for a kidney and pancreas transplant and I’ve found card making gives me a focus away from medical worries.  I intend to donate my cards to various charitable causes to hopefully brighten someone else’s life just a little.

First Ever Crop

I attended my first ever crop today.  Oh boy can I spend money!  I took my supplies with me and yet couldn't stop picking nifty doo-dads up from the store.  I even came home with a large zebra print 'thing'…

I had a call from the transplant team coordinator today to encourage me.  It made me smile and gave me renewed hope that I'm not just a number on the waiting list.

Expression 2

My little Create is definitely not doing it for me anymore.  What are the pros and cons of the Imagine and Expression?  Does Gypsy make a difference?

Shopping for Scrapping

Living in a smaller city, scrapbooking stock is very limited at our retailers.  No big craft stores here.  Add to that that some items do not ship from the US to Canada, and customs issues - the whole issue of…

My Name is Alison and I’m a Cardaholic.

It`s official.  I`m addicted to this hobby and I can`t stop myself.  (Nor do I want to stop)  Just looked back at my creations since January and realized what a big part of my life card making has become.
