I Pledge to Reduce my Carbon Footprint

I am very aware of the need to reduce my carbon footprint before it is to late. At present World Leaders are meeting in Glasgow to discuss setting targets to fight Climate Change.

Today I have made the decision to make my crafting as environment friendly as I can.

I have made an amazon wishlist of recycled craft products I would like to try. I am starting with this black card. I bought 200 sheets of 270g recycled card for £19.95. It is a little more expensive than the card I normally buy, but I can live with that if it is helping in the fight against climate change. The quality of the card appears to be very good, and it seems to be a true black. I'm planning on lots of tutorials and other videos once my new craft room is finished so I'll let you know how it goes.

As you know I am a great fan of digital crafting. In the future I plan to buy as little as possible of pre printed craft sheets. I will stick with printable items. That way I will print only what I need. I won't be buying a full pad for a couple of sheets.

Of course another thing I am planning to do is use up all of the craft supplies I already have. That should keep me going for a while 🤣.

If I come up with anything new I will let you know. So please take a step back and think of ways you can protect our beautiful planet before it is to late.

Happy Crafting.

Two Red Robins Magazine - Issue 3

While I was away in Italy issue 2 of the Two Red Robins Magazine was released on Create and Craft. I have no idea how much it cost on Create and Craft, but it was on the Highlight Crafts website for £14.99. Because I am a member of the Highlight Craft Club I got it gor £12.99 with free postage. The free cover die this month is a hydrangea and it comes with two sheets of charisma, backing papers and scene sheets. You can download further copies from the Highlight website. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers, I have two huge ones in my garden, so this die is going to be very useful to me. The magazine has some projects using the cover die. Great for anyone looking for inspiration, but especially usefull for somebody just starting on a crafty journey There are also some projects using other Two Red Robin Die Sets. There are also projects using a mixture of dies from different collections. I like to see projects like this, they are a great source of inspiration, but im sure you can

My Weight Loss Journey

I have quite bad arthritis in both of my knees. The extra weight I am carrying about is not helping them at all. Its time I took action and got rid of the extra pounds. I am going to do this by simple calorie counting. At present I cant afford a Slimming group, but I know if I am in the right place mentally I can do this, I have done it before. We get a Wonky vegetable box delivered every week so I am going to be cooking healthy low calorie food using the items in the box. I have all of the Pinch of Nom, Slimming Eats, Slimming Foodie, and Sugar Pink Foods cookbooks so I will have plenty of choice. My food is planned out for the next week, and I will be recording everything on my Samsung Health App. It always helps me to record everything. I got of to a good start as I have lost 2lbs this week. Fingers crossed I can keep it up.
