It is still just about morning here, and I was determined to get a blog post typed today. Was shocked to see how many weeks I have missed with this global hop around crafty workspaces (click HERE to join in). I have been super-busy earning money with Matched Betting, and the Cheltenham Festival is named 'Cheltmas' in that community, so I joined in just to see how much money I could make over the 4 days. I have decided not to continue with horseracing betting, so glad that I did try it out this year - and I made over £300 (my usual monthly target). Flare ups of my chronic pain and preparing for the first family visit since Christmas 2019 last week also kept me away from blogging.
I have been crafting quite a bit, and deliveries of crafty stash have arrived (I treated myself as a reward for all the time I have spent with Matched Betting).
You can see the latest delivery from Create & Craft (please remember to go through TopCashback to get the 5% cash) on my crafty table. It is a Colop E-Mark, which does multi-colour stamping - on all sorts of materials. I also bought a selection of the accessories including ribbon and labels. I have been watching the tv shows for a few years and always wanted one of these latest models (I had one of the original ones many years ago, which you had to put cartridges in to get the designs. This one links via wifi to an app and you can can do any words/images.) Already made a birthday card for a friend - with personalised ribbon on it, plus toppers/insert. There is a lot to learn to take advantage of everything it can do. Anyone else got one?
I am also in the process of getting an owl ATC made for a trade. I actually got my dies and Sizzix machine out for this. It just needs sticking together and then I can get it in the post this afternoon.
All busy here - with solar panels being fitted to the roof of the shed that is closest to the house. This is a garage now (new electric door fitted), with charger for our electric car - and it will also be a workshop for bikes etc.
I will get around blogs later and catch up with what everyone is doing.

ps I am doing a Tarot course this month and will need some 'guinea pigs' to practice on (haven't done any readings for a couple of years, so decided a refresher course would be useful). If anyone would like a reading, email me at aliwade1971@gmail.com.
