DOCRAFT BLOG PROMPT 11 is to write about and show off photographs of your craft room!

Todays blog prompt is to write about and show off photographs of your craft room! I don't have a craft room but if I did it would have to be HUGE! I have a large crafty stash cd's, cardstock, papers etc and every room in my little flat has been overtaken, infact it' like a crafty warehouse.  The only room that has been spared is the bathroom. 

This picture is from my lounge.  I have these draws in all sizes to fit in nooks around the flat. My sewing table is now a craft table. 

I HAVE TO STOP BUYING CRAFTY STASH!!!

I'll soon be one of the 'Hoarders from Next Door' x

DOCRAFTS BLOG PROMPT 10 - What makes you smile?

Where do I start? There are so many things

1. I love the sound of a child laughter- it's a carefree innocent sound that comes from their little feet!

2. Enjoying retirement!  I love my life and all the things I've done and have to look forward to. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

3. A hug

4. The kindness of strangers.  Since becoming disabled I am amazed how kind people can be.  I'm a very independent person   but If people are kind enough to offer help when I need it, I'm gracious enough to accept it.

5. My Docraft Family

6. My family & close friends who love me as I am.

I could go on but wont bore you. x

DOCRAFTS BLOG PROMPT 9

'Find your favourite quote and blog about it'

This is an interesting challenge this is what I have chosen 

     Live each day as if it's your last!

I don't know where this came from but for me having worked in Intensive care for 20+ years it  was a reminder how preciuos life is.  It means even more to me since I've had to retire through ill health.  I have a long term condition that I have no idea how it will progress.  So I'm now grabbing every opportunity that comes my way while I still can.  I'm a great beliver that things happen for a reason and some where along the journey I'm now taking I will find out my reason! x

Today's blog prompt is What book are you reading at the moment? Share a project inspired by this book

Well today's Docraft's blog prompt has caught me out.  I haven't read a book in ages but I have been rethinking my faith and in the new year I bought myself a Bible.  I am still not sure were I am going but I do know it was the right thing to do.  

I'm a craft mag fiend always looking for inspiration. x

BLOG PROMPT NO 7 - HAPPY HOLIDAY

As a youngster every bank holiday was the only time we we're all together as a family.  Dad would have the day off from work and we would go to the  local fun fair. I loved the noise, colours and smells of candy floss, burgers etc. These were fun days as sometimes our neighbours would join in and there would be a big group of us adults and children, running and laughing, taking the mickey out of each other but it was a real feeling of freedom.  No worries.  No cares.

As an adult I would work every bank holiday because the hospital was quieter even though the unit was not but it again was a good time to work. x

BLOG PROMPT NO 6

This scrapbook page is of me and my best friend Laura.  It's Egyptian night on our Nile cruise. We laughed from the moment the holiday started until we got home - it was briliant! Unfortunately this was to be our last holiday before she died. x

Blog prompt no 5 - This Funky Ride Of Life

I listen to this song and she could be singing about me.  There are lines that I can relate to about myself  since having my world turned upside down due to ill health I wont let anythng or anyone get in my way.  I have had to learn to accept being disable and that has been really hard

     'Coz I am who I am today coz of everything I've experienced'

    'It's my time to shine'

    'If you can't celebrate me - move out the way!'

   'I wont let anybody elses hangups become my own

    '
