Hello Crafty Friends,
I haven't been around for some time. Not because I have not been crafty, but because our computer had crashed and I had no idea how to do this blogging on my ipad. Than I found instagram quite easy to share my cards, so please start follow me there tto (4hetty it is on instagram).
So, what have I been doing?
Not so much challenges, for this reason: postage and VAT!
If I win something, it means I can choose from a shop, but have to pay my own postage. This is usually from the US to The Netherlands a lot! Then when the package arrives over here I even have to pay taxes. I think you can understand it is no more fun anymore to play along.
Most of my time goes to my volunteer work
for the carehome my mom is in.
Every Friday I make cards with a bunch of ladies.
I love using the stuff I have (it never seems to finish),
my old stamps and design papers.
So here you see some cards we are going to make next week
with the set "You've got this" by Stampin'Up!
Most of the time they manage to make two cards.
I hope you all have a lovely Sunday and hope to
see you soon again!
That’s a bummer that you have to pay all that shipping and Taxes. It does ruin the fun of joining in challenges. Glad to see you’re still creating. These six cards look pretty amazing— good for you using your existing supplies!
ReplyDeleteHi Hetty - I missed this post in my feed for some reason, and I was wondering why I had not 'seen' you. Glad to hear all is well, and I know what you mean about the cost of postage!! Thankfully I don't have to pay extra taxes at the border - yet.. no doubt they will come up with that in due time!!
ReplyDeleteLove these cards they are gorgeous, as usual.
Blessings
