My scrapbooking small haul

*Please note this post includes affiliate links.*

I love shopping and I did a big shopping haul for lots of different arts and craft from Kmart and just had to add a little bit extra from AliExpress.

So here is what I got from AliExpress:

Dog stickers - Because I am scrapbooking my dog photos in the scrapbook I needed paper and stickers.

Zoo animal stickers - I have photos with me and my children at the zoo so what better way to scrapbook those zoo photos! https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_msv6Ef0

Christmas stickers - I still haven’t decided if I should buy Christmas scrapbooking paper or just using wrapping paper as the scrapbooking paper. I would like to know what you use, please comment below. However, I still needed some Christmas stickers. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dl525ov

Circus paper - I use to do Aerials like they do in the circus. So I have photos on aerial silks etc that I thought the circus paper would work well for. I always buy two lots of scrapbooking paper from AliExpress. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DkD4maZ

I find the easiest way to shop for scrapbooking is to find themes with the type of photos you have as noted above.

Not scrapbooking but still arts and craft, I bought a new Diamond painting. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DD7sKzn

Crocheting my first blanket

So I decided that crocheting animals etc is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket. I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. And I found one. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant. So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled and realised after I do a row of single crochet stitches, I have to do one chain stitch at the end before ...

Paint by numbers revival

For a few years, a few years ago (lol), I did some paint by numbers. I really enjoyed the painting and the end result looks amazing. I have quite a lot of hobbies now and my last two paint by numbers I never finished. I think because some of the paint had dried, because I left the painting too long at times and the other painting I just didn’t enjoy the picture, so they didn’t get completed. I then got distracted with new hobbies such as diamond painting, which is similar to paint by numbers. With diamond painting you match the drill to the number to create a picture. However, I have redecorated my home and put up my finished paint by numbers. So I decided to try another one. A few years ago, I had to buy the wooden frame with the canvas and build it together but now you have the option to buy a ready frame, where the company puts the frame and canvas together for you. My most recent purchase is this beautiful image: If you are interested, please find the ...
