Hello all.image This is the first forum I have ever taken part in - not that I'm not into computers but I've never felt that forums could be trusted before this one. Everyone seems to be very genuine and friendly from what I've read and I certainly regard Joanna Sheen as a very reputable and honest person from her TV appearances and products.

Anyway, I should tell you all a little about myself as I'm on the profile thread........!

My name is Hayley, I am 41years old, married to a wonderful man and I am a stay at home mum to 4 great children. Our eldest was 21 years old 3 days ago, and he's a Paratrouper; next boy is 16 and he's just started college; and the two girls are 15 and 10 and they are being home-educated (as was the 16 year old until last week boohoo!) So as you can see life for me is usually pretty hectic to say the least! We live on a small-holding in the Preseli's in Wales - very wet and windy for much of the time - but it is beautiful up here. The 3 younger children and I love to craft and I find it very relaxing too. I have always been a "crafty" person, right from being a toddler so I enjoy most forms of art and craft, but I especially like cardmaking as the results are pretty quick compared to some other crafts, and time is always at a premium in our house!! I don't usually take photos of my cards but after seeing some of the marvellous ones on here to inspire, maybe I'll start and perhaps they will be of use to someone else!


Apart from enjoying my time with my family, and the animals (2 cats, 3 teenage kittens, 3 baby kittens, 2 dogs, 4 cows and 1 rabbit - but lots of other animals in the pipe-line of which I'll keep you posted as they arrive!) I also belong to a choir, as I love to sing. I am a soprano, which is probably the easiest voice as we are usually the ones singing the melody line. The choir I belong to sing a mixed selection of songs but not much of the really heavy operatic stuff.

Well I think I should go now and see what the kids are up to!

Stay Happy!
