It's time for some Valentine Memories and a Sampler freebie

 Good morning :) 

Pssst..... it's quiet here. Everybody else in the house is still asleep , so I thought it would be the perfect time to sit at my desk and write this post. 

I don't have any crafty bits to show today. Remember , I told you in my last post I frogged a previously started crochet project and started anew? Yeah well, that didn't go so well. The repetitive movement of my arm while crocheting caused my hand and arm some strain , and as a result it hurts when I move it and I have barely any strength in it . Certain movements ,like gripping items and straightening it are slightly painful. 

So it's a forced crochet and knitting break for me , until this is healed up. I had this before , back when I was about 23 years old , working in a factory back then , and the repetitive movements caused the same. But not to worry, a little break and I'll be as good as new. No designing either because even gripping and moving the mouse is uncomfortable. 

In the meantime I'm reading . I can hold the Kindle e-reader with my left hand 😁  

Luckily I already had my new Valentines kit completed, including a freebie sampler. This is kind of special for me this year . It's the 10th anniversary. It was 10 years ago on Valentines Day when Reggie and I decided to be together and give a relationship a go. After a Valentines e-card and him sending me a song he had composed and played himself , there was no way I could say no to him. It was the most thoughtful and romantic thing anybody had ever done for me. So, happy heavenly Anniversary , Reggie . RIP , my love 💕

😄He never smiled for pictures .He could be laughing like crazy one minute, but as soon as the camera came out , the smile was gone. 

Here is what the kit I used for this layout looks like. It's available on the Store page for $2.99

And then there is the freebie sampler for you ....

First freebie of 2022

 ...and a late "Happy New Year " to you all. 

Hello :) 

we are 16 days into the year and I have already completed my first goal and project . I gave my bathroom a makeover. 

Love how it turned out ! 💓

I chose moonlight white for the bath and shower area . because we don't have a window in this room and needs brightening up. 

The 23 year old tiles are still good , but I filled in new grout .The old one had gaps and wasn't a white colour anymore. It makes all the difference and looks sparkly white , bright and new now. 

The floor got a new look with simple pvc planks. Inexpensive , but does the job :) 

I like feature walls to break up a simple monotone look. For this I chose a textured brick wall wallpaper. 

It goes perfectly with the white and bamboo furniture and shelves I already had. 

Decorating on a budget- The lot (floor, paint, grout and wallpaper) cost me just under £ 70.00/$ 95.00 .

Plus a lot of sweeat and aching bones the next days. This DIY stuff was a lot easier when I was younger 😅

Goal number 2 of 2022 is also done. My 13 year old bicycle was in urgent need of some maintenance. Now, with a new chain , new disc , brake and gear overhaul it's a smoother ride again. Maybe I can get another 13 years of riding out of it . 

As for the art and crafty stuff, there wasn't much time for that, but I got out a crochet jumper project I started a year ago and noticed it was far too large for me . So I frogged it all and started anew. 

Plus I finished my first spring scrap kit. 

Here a little quickpage teaser .Yeah, it has bees .

The second spring kit is already in the making as well .

I had just enough for a quickpage from this one as well. Obviously without the "Snowraven logo" on it. This is just for the previews . 

So, now that I have updated you about my activities ,it's time for the freebie. 

I have so many quickpages on my drive that I decided to give them away as freebies. 

So today you get the first pack of QPs.

These are the "Chilly QPs", befitting the time of year. 

3 quickpages in png format
