November the 30th already,where has 2011 gone? It has been quite a year for me, losing my beloved Janet in February then her Mum in April and having to move house as well, it has taken it's toll. But! A dream that Janet and I shared for all of our 25 years of marriage, begins tomorrow, December the first 2011 sees the grand opening of BarjanB Crafts, my own craft shop with a rather smart demo and workshop area. The shop is situated in Newbold Verdon in Leicestershire, a couple of miles from the Battle of Bosworth battle field.

More new stock is arriving daily and my web site should be up and running just after Christmas.

Christmas Cards

I said that I wasn't going to make any Christmas cards this year, but I have made more this year than ever before.These are made using papermania Enchanted Christmas stamps and coloured with pro-markers and a bit of stickles to give them some bling.

Fat page swap on Do-Crafts Forum

Hi here is my first attempt at a fat page. A 4x4 page to swap with  other forum members. The theme is halloween or orang/black. Stamped image coloured with pro-markers. Also an album made from cd sleeves

First attempt at shabby chic

Hi everyone, It's October already but with the weather it still feels like July. What a crazy world we live in. Well I've had a go at shabby for the first time from scratch. I don't know weather I like it or not, perhaps you could make a comment on how I could improve it.
