Projects!!   
 
March 2006 - Sarah's Projects!
Hi My name is Sarah and I live in the west of Ireland
between Galway and Ennis - I have lived in Connemara, the Highlands of Scotland
and North Wales over the years, although I was born in the North West of
England. I love dabbling with all kinds of crafts, although recently cardmaking
has taken over most of my free time (and house). I have started scrapping as
well.
Im a mum to baby Aoife, born in August 2006 the cutest
little pickle imaginable. So Im enjoying the early days with her for now. For
the future I hope to find some way of using my crafty pursuits to help me find a
niche for some venture that allows me to work from home.
