Crafty Swappers

nettyb · Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 12:40 pm Post subject: Come and say Hello

Well, This is Me!!!! My name is Netty - and some of you may already know me from other craft forums going under the same guise!!! Rolling Eyes

. My OH is the TB who is also on here as Admin, technical bod and general dogsbody but you never know we may get him creating an ATC yet!!!!! Very Happy

Any questions or queries - just shout towards him!!!

We decided to set up this little forum for those of you that love crafty based swapping ie ATCs, CJs - whatever you fancies. Many other craft forums have a limit on the number of swaps that you can be in at one time so I thought that this may help you around that. So if you fancy hosting your own crafty swap or just fancy joining in a current one - we're open for business.

We're hoping to add more and more to the forum over time and would really appreciate any comments or suggestions as to what you would really like to see on this forum. We'll certainly take all your input on board.

Now don't be shy - come and say Hello Smile

Hi Netty,

Long time no see!!!
Can I create digi havoc on here as well, please? Doing a few more swaps on here might just give me the courage to host one myself!!

Thanks for setting this up ... and thank TB for keeping us up and running (though not too fast please, not a sprinter any more!)

PS .. TB.. you really should do the ATCs ... men are very good designers and once you've done one you can use it as an excuse for NOT doing more!!!!

Can I come and join all you talented people?

If you want the biog. bit...

I'm 57 (hope thats not too ancient!!), been married to Andrew for 31 years, two sons 28 and 23. 4 cats - I LOVE cats. I'm an assistant headteacher in an infant school although I didn't qualify as a teacher until I was 48. I have two dollshouses but we've no room for more so I started dabbling in scrapbooks about 3 years ago but my fondness for miniatures surfaced again and I love ATCs. Have also completed a few CJs but having a rest from them at the moment - a bit disillusioned as one of mine has never been returned. Love vintage - I keep buyingcabinet cards from a well known auction site then can't bear to alter them. I am in awe of genuinely artistic people but think that crafting gives me the opportunity to 'have a go' without making too much ofa fool of myself. Also have a 'sticky' keyboard so lots of words are joined together! BTW I was christened Freda which is probably why DH has always called me.....
