So on to the 7 facts about me...

1) I have always been crafty but really started to craft when I met my neighbour Sam when we moved in our house (Sam's Bits) and I became addicted to paper crafting!
2) At the minute I am suffering from severe back pain caused by 2 herniated discs and a compressed nerve meaning that I am struggling to do just about everything!
3) I have the best husband and family - we go through ups and downs (as everyone does) but we do it together and we get through it together... I thank my lucky stars for them and my close friends I am very lucky
4) I would love to build myself a career within the crafting industry
5) I LOVE Manchester United and dislike that my hubby is a City supporter and has corrupted my eldest son to the blue side of Manchester
6) I have read all the Harry Potter books at least 3 times each
7) my 3 year old son has a baby doll called Steve and my eldest son kisses my hand everyday when I pick him up from school

thanks again to Debbi and Marie
Happy Stampin!
