Love 2 Read


 I am loving the fact that I am doing far less craft fairs and have given up the hospital shop. I only have 5 fairs booked so far starting next month. I hope to find a few more for later in the year but they will need to be promising for me to book them. It has certainly given me more time to make exactly what I want and when I want it. I have so many other things I enjoy, one of them being a good book.  I have loved reading ever since I learnt to read and always have a book on the go, with lots more ready to read.

I have been lucky enough to meet one of my favourite authors three times in the last three years. As this series is set in Norfolk the books are launched in Jarrolds, a independent department store with a great book department. I read her latest book in 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. I used papers from Echo Park Summer Days pack, added some washi tape, American thickers letters, Lawn Fawn diecut bunting and some journal tabs from my stash.

What a lovely page Marianne. I am an avid reader and, like you, have a mountain of books waiting in the wings. I am not familiar with that author, must add her to my "must read" list xx
