And yes, it really is 1.22am - you'll find I'm often up at silly hours posting on forums. Joys of insomnia :D
Well, I've just joined the forum tonight, although I have been in the Crafts Directory for a bit.
I'm Babs, a thirty-something wife and Mum to 2 boys (7 and 4 - often referred to as the Dynamic Duo). I've been 'crafty' for as long as I can remember - some would say I was born with a pencil and paper in my hand OUCH!! Although I have to say that I am crafty, and definitely NOT arty! Can't draw for toffee :D
My main crafts are cardmaking and scrapbooking - I used to cross stitch but have arthritis now which makes it a bit difficult. As well as working on my own scrapbooks - with two kids you'll understand how busy that can keep me - I also teach and run weekend retreats, which I LOVE. I enjoy giving something back to the craft!
Outside of crafting, I'm involved with a local Scout Water Activities Centre in London's Docklands, and am a retired member of the Queen Scout Working Party - anyone involved with Scouting will know what that's all about, but basically the QSWP help run awards ceremonies and other scouting events.
Oh yeah - and if you haven't already guessed I LOVE TO CHAT!!!!! So, I'm really looking forward to being part of the forum!
