Well..... I've finally done it! On Tuesday morning I handed in my notice.... Designing for you lot is now my full time job!! Well, not quite yet....my last day is the 28th of march...so i've got a few weeks left yet!!

It seems strange that I can earn a living doing something I love!! okay.....its not going to make me millions (not unless you all rob a bank!) but hopefully enough to pay a few bills!!

So, from now on you should be seeing new items listed more often, and you should get your downloads quicker, as you won't have to wait for me to come home from work!!!

wow!.... me having my own business.... who would have thought...

Hello everyone...

Firstly i'll apologise in advance for spelling mistakes...bad grammar... made up words... and my lack of a sense of humour.

Next i'll tell you a little bit about me, and how I became interested in papercrafts.

My first ever encounter with foam pads, glitter glue, embossing tools and peel offs was on a chance visit to my sister in laws... she had just found card making...and consequently had bits and bobs strewn all over her dining room table, I was a bit perplexed by it all, and she suggested I have a go...that was it.. I was hooked!

What i did find very quickly was that i just wasnt happy with the standard things i could buy at crafts shops, they were never quite right, never quite me!! so i started making my own embellishments, using anything and everything i could find, making them a bit more unique.

I made quite a few cards, but was never confident enough in my abilities to actually send them to people I knew (infact most of them are still sitting in a box in the loft!)

Then i found ebay... i noticed alot of people were selling hand made toppers, unique toppers that were different to the ones you could get in shops, so i thought i'd have a go... i sold quite a few, but the time and effort involved in hand cutting individual pieces of card, just wasnt worth it!

I needed a new way, a quicker way to make my designs, so i tried my hand at designing them on a computer.... and so SPENCER BEAR was born. I fell in love with him and realised that other people might to, so i listed him as a download on ebay..... sold 2 the very next day and i've never looked back since......
