~*~ Creative Design Team - Di ~*~

Hi, I'm Diane. I am 46 years old. I have a lovely Husband (Kevin) and two wonderful children (Jenny & Dan), oh and my Maggie of course, can't forget her.  

I have been crafting for 10 years, having started when I was roped into helping with the school Christmas Bazaar. Someone was needed to make flower arrangements and door wreaths. I drew the short straw. Never having done anything like that before I was worried nothing would sell. I was delighted to find that almost everything had been reserved before the Bazaar opened.

I went from there to Cardmaking because I needed something specific to accompany a gift and couldn't find what I wanted in the shops. If I could do the flowers I could do cards...right? I surprised myself. Despite being told at school not to bother to take art as I was "useless", I could actually do this! That was it, I caught the bug.

My husband bought me a Craft Robo 3 years ago, which opened up all sorts of possibilities. I loved the versatility of being able to produce just what I wanted. Very happy to have met Jennie on the UKS Forum and to have been selected as one of her Team.

I have recently bought the new Gazelle and use this along with Funtime software.
