What's In A Title?

The blog title is my take on my favourite quote from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novel, when Bella realises she is in love with vampire Edward. My version is slightly less impressive than that in the book but never the less true:


"About three things I was absolutely positive, first I was an obsessed crafter, second, there was a part of me - and I didn't know how potent that part might be, that thirsted for beautiful craft materials, dies, stamps, papers, cardstock etc, and third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with scrapbooking and cardmaking"

How Old?

My friend Caroline had a Stampin Up party at her place last week and I treated myself to one or two goodies. Kathy and myself stayed over and we had a fabulous craft day, watching the snow come down. It was so relaxing and we just chatted, laughed and ate naughty food whilst scrapbooking and/or card making. The stamps and punches I ordered arrived yesterday so I swung by and collected them. Today, whilst hubby was down in London with his friends, I locked myself in my craft room and set myself a challenge of creating a layout using the free Stampin Up 12 x 12 papers I got and as many of the stamps and punches I bought as I could possibly get on the page. I managed to use the owl punch, the label punch, the pennant punch, the pennant stamps, the four frames stamps and some love hearts cuts using the love hearts punch which wasn't mine. The title is How Old? This is a dig at my hubby who at the ripe old age of 46 keeps adding to his collection of teddy bears, he has over 300 of the darn things, all over the house. I had said no more teddies but my daughter bought him this one as it's a numbered collectors item.
