One for the Birds

There is a great photography challenge over on In Love With Stamping - I am really enjoying it and love the focus it gives me when I am playing with my new camera.

However for me the tough part is deciding what to upload in response to the challenge! This month we were asked to capture an eyecatching phots of a bird. here are the pictures I am struggling to choose between!


Any thoughts most welcome!

Happy Snapping

Remember me?

Goodness - its been a while since I last posted here!
I have been creating lots - mostly Stampin' Up! projects which you can see here

There have been some non SU creations which I remembered to photograph so here they are ...
The stamps are Leanne Ellis stamps which I love! I am also enjoying colouring with my new copics - I need to practice lots more but I dont see that as a hardship!

I also wanted to let you know about a fantastic blog candy give away - Do you love Papertry Stamps - I do and over on A Passion for Papertry they are giving away a set you just cant buy - I have my fingers crossed as I would love to own this set!

Hope to see you soon

And they were total Stars!


Well pantomime is now over – and for the first time in months I am home on Monday night. I am not quite sure what I am going to do with myself – mind you I start rehearsals for the next show I am directing next week so this feeling will only be temporary!

The pantomime was very well received and everyone involved was indeed a total star. In my last post I showed you some of the elements of this – so here is the finished card.

I am looking forward to the first of my monthly classes at Priory House in Dunstable this week. I still have a few places available so if you are interested in coming along please get in touch. We are going to be making five cards and a special treat box – you can find out more about it here

Thanks for stopping by

Just a quick post to show you some work in progress...
Some stars for some stars :-)

I have been directing the village panto and tonight is our opening night. If you find yourself in the Eaton Bray area do come along and see Star Wreck, 2009 A Space Oddity, It should be a giggle and you will certainly be seeing some stars. Do get in touch if you want the details.

These are some of the elements of a batch of 50 thank you cards I need for all the wonderful people who are making the panto possible. I now have made most of the elements, just a little stamping to go and then assembly, before the longest job of all - writing them! I dont know about you but if I have a large batch of cards to do, I find it quicker to make all the parts first, so stamp all the images, cut them all out etc etc.

Do check back soon to see the final card

New Year's Resolutions


Like many people, last Christmas I found myself thinking about what I wanted to change during the next year and what I wanted to achieve. Like many people this is something I had done for many years and when I looked back over the lists from the previous year’s many of the things would be the same. Each year I was making resolutions and then not sticking to them.


So as I thought things through last year I decided I was going to do things differently. In my non craft life I am a life and business performance coach so I decided to apply some of the techniques I help other used with great success to myself. I combined them with my love of crafting. The results – well they have been many and positive and I have had a great time achieving them during what has been a year of massive change for me.


I am really excited about being able to share some of this with you in the form of my first on line course. There are lots of reasons that I am excited about this but mostly because of the difference it could make to you when you want to make your dreams a reality, make positive changes in your life and achieve your goals.


As many of us are thinking about the new year at the moment, this is the ideal time of year to start this course, but you could chose to start it whenever you want.


So what does this course offer you? During the course you will learn a process which will position you to succeed in reaching your goals, in creating your dreams.


For the first month you will receive weekly prompts which will help you


  • clarify your dreams and exactly what it is you would like to achieve

  • work out how you would like to do this and what experiences you would like along the way

  • create a system which will support you in making these dreams come true. This system can be stand alone or can be adapted to work with any diary or planning system that you use (either paper based or electronic)

For the next year you will achieve a monthly prompt to help you along your journey. Each prompt will contain a fun project which will help you towards your goal and will help you see how far you have already come.



Additionally, you will have access to a special blog on which you will find regular motivational quotes, additional support and inspiration and on which we can share our journeys.



At the end of the year not only will you have had every chance to achieved the things you set out to achieve but you will have learnt a process for creating the reality of your dreams



This course is available to everyone and will cost you just £10.00 so if you would like to sign up to achieve your dreams just email me at

bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk If you have any questions please feel free to ask them


I look forward to sharing this exciting journey with you

Missing in Action?

Hello! Have you missed me!

With just over a week to Christmas things have been somewhat hectic round here – I hope you are all getting time to enjoy the build up, everywhere I look there are lovely sparkly lights and everything is so pretty.

I have fallen somewhat behind with my Journal Your Christmas Project and hope to be back next week with rather a lot of catch up items.

I have been busy in my craft space getting ready for the Dunstable Christmas Extravaganza this Saturday (20 December). As part of the town’s Christmas preparations they are having a number of events during the day and evening all designed to be a lot of fun and to help people get ready for Christmas. I will be in Priory House (where Tourist Information is) between 10am and 4pm. If you come and see me you will have the chance to make some cards, get a few stocking fillers, win prizes and much more! If you are in the area it would be wonderful to meet you.

I am also going to be running a monthly class at Priory House starting on 31 January 2009. I will post more details soon, but in the mean time put the date in your diary!

I will be back with the journal and some pictures soon

Thanks for stopping by

Journal your Christmas - Day 7

Hi there

Here is yesterday's postcard for my Christmas Journal. I am going to be playing catch up for a few days due to work committments but more soon ...


The journaling reads


Still to do

This year I made a Christmas Planner in good time
Unfortunately I did not make a plan until last weekend
So I still have lots to do!

Out of necessity we are having a frugal Christmas and I am gong to be making a lot of our Christmas Presents which makes the list longer but the gifts should be all the more special because of it. I have made all but about 20 of the Christmas Cards and have planed what I am going to make. I have almost finished one of the scarves I am making and am a good way through the next.

So I still need to finish the cards, the presents, the wrapping and find something special for Joe. Thats before all the last moment stuff ...

One things not to do is panic!
Thanks for looking - see you soon
