The Nutcracker


Hi everyone,

I'd like to share with you all one of the books I made for Christmas pressies, as usual I forgot to take pics lol.... so Lindsay has kindly taken some pics of her book for me.....

Those of you that know me, will know that I don't have much confidence in my work, although I get told that people like what I do, I still don't think my work is very good ( my depression stops me having confidence) .. Today I've had an extra boost from Lindsay ( http://www.lejdesigns.co.uk/ )..
Lindsay has posted  the pics on her facebook page and has had quite a few lovely comments, so I decided to  put the pics on my blog.....

Here goes lol.... I used the Graphic 45 paper pad   The Nutcracker......

I'm also entering the book into the following challenges :

    This book is stunning Shelagh! You should be vey proud of it Hun, depression is such a destructive illness, but crafting is such a great therapy, don't be afraid to show off your talents, craft is about interpretation and although we all have different s tastes, it's the heart and soul that goes into it that makes it beautiful xx

    It's obvious for all to see, that a lot of work has gone into this book, Shelagh....and good on Lindsay for helping you push it into blogging land. My late mam, bless her, also suffered from severe depression when I was younger....I taught her to use a knitting machine when she was about 60 and she never looked back. So crafting of any sort is good fot the spirits xx Keep up your lovely work xx
