Hello Crafty People,
It's been a while since our last chat, but I am always so appreciative of anyone who takes the time to stop by this little portion of the internet.
VLOGMAS 2019, in Retrospect
Hello Crafty People,
Welcome to my last post of the year! And what a year it has been. For something different, please take a look at this little collation of December moments that I captured for VLOGMAS 2019. Alternatively, you can also search for this video on YouTube via my brand new channel; Retro Novella.
Have a safe and blessed festive season. I look forward to connecting with you all in 2020!

Hello crafty people,
It’s getting late and I should really be in bed, but I can’t resist typing a few lines to share with you all this evening. After all, life is busy and if not now, when?
