Tigerlady

Hi, I’m Hilary, I’m 45 and live in Cheshire with my family. I’ve been married for 18 years and have an 11 year old daughter.
I was born and brought up in Pitlochry but have moved around the country with my husband’s job. We hope to stay in Cheshire until our daughter has finished with school.
I don’t work and haven’t worked since I broke a bone in my back, but after many years of pain I have more or less recovered.
My hobbies are scrapbooking ,card making and photography and a lot of my spare time is spent ferrying my daughter to a variety of clubs and activities.
As a family we enjoy days out and country walks.
I also love feeding the birds in my garden

Hi, this is me, a rare picture!, I don’t normally wear makeup, or dress up this smart!!



I was born in 1964, I’ve been married to Brian for 12 years and have 2 daughters, Georgina and Eleanor, We live in Berkshire with 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and a tank of tropical fish. Here we all are on a family holiday:



My life always seems quite hectic - I work each day, in IT compliance, but part time and then from 3pm each day I do the “mummy stuff” I have very active children so I spend a lot of time playing taxi driver and waiting in halls/sports grounds for them to finish tennis, netball, dancing, and swimming lessons, brownies, cubs etc etc, I am chair of a busy school PTA, so this takes quite a lot of my time. I was very proud that last year we raised 13K from lots of events and activities. If I get a chance, I like to play tennis too. I am a member of a Rosemary Connolly exercise class and managed to loose 1.3/4 stones a year or so ago, I don’t exercise as regularly as I should or would like and chocolate is one of my favorite things!

If there is any spare time left after all the above I love to be creative. Before the kids I made hand made cards and sold them at a local art gallery, I used to sew and embroider and paint on silk. Now I pour all my creative energies into scrapbooking which I have been doing for about 2 years.

Introducing........ HappySnapper

I’m a photographer running my own business EDGE photography. I love taking photos and scrapping them. I enjoy the creative fun I have designing and making my layouts. I am passionate about photography and so is my husband which made for great travel photography holidays before we had kids..

I was born in 1970 married in 1989 and now have two small children. God tapped me on the shoulder in 1994 and I then became a Christian. These days on a Sunday morning I can be seen dancing and singing my head off at the very fun and relaxed church I attend.

Mary B

I am Mary (aka Mary B) I was born in Dec 1940 you can work out my age from that if you want to lol. I am a widow, retired, live alone except for my two cats Rudi the Ginger one and Samantha.grey tortoiseshell.
I am a Christian and I love scrapping and snapping, my camera goes everywhere I go cos you never know what you may see or when you may need it. I have a son, Neil, who live here in Swindon, a daughter, Helen, and son-in-law, Andy, who live in Skipton in Yorkshire and a lovely grandson, Daniel born on the 2nd July 2007 who has featured in a lot of layouts lately :lol: wonder why??????
My husband John died in April 2002 and although I do miss him, at times a great deal, I have made a good life for myself and I really enjoy it.

Kat the Cobbler

Hi.



I'm Kat. I'm 26 years old. I'm a trained legal secretary. However, I am also now a full time student. I'm studying HND Music Practice and hope to go on to do a top up year to get a degree in Music Practice.

I live with my parents and my two cats, Tinkerbell and Roxy.



I have been scrapbooking for about 2 years. I started as a progression from cardmaking. I love all crafty things including cross stitch and latch hook rug making. I now mainly do digiscrapbooking and have a habit of scrapbooking men!!)

I'm a keen flautist (as you can tell by the picture) and am hoping to take my grade 8 in the next year!! I also love singing.

My other passion is football and I can quite often be found on a saturday watching Northampton Town.
