Hello and welcome to my tiny corner of YouTube. Grab a cuppa and sit back and relax.

On this channel I plan to share my crafty goings on, cooking on a budget and living life over 50. Please like, share and subscribe!

Hello, my lovelies, I don't know if anyone will see this! Things seem to be a bit off with my community page.
Anyway, sorry I didn't post the new prompts for the tag club yesterday, I wasn't feeling my best and making a video seemed a bit overwhelming.
There WILL be a video going up at some point today so watch this space.
Just so I can judge if this post has appeared in anyone's feed, could you possibly give me a thumbs up?

Hello everyone, as some of you may know, Saturday is World Collage Day 2026. I will be premiering a collage video to celebrate this event at 6pm. I do hope you will join me. If you would like to craft along with me, I will be using the theme nature and restricting myself to muted colours.

Don't worry if you can't make 6pm BST, the video will be available for anyone to watch at any time!

Hello, everyone, I do hope you are well. I have just uploaded week 12 of the #FDC4 challenge hosted by ‪@ShanoukiArt‬ and #decktheyear hosted by ‪@PennysCraftyCreations‬
There is some interesting news but also, I would like you to answer the question

Is my creative style predictable or repetitive?

Do let me know in the comment section of the video xxx

Hello, everybody, I hope you are well.

Please accept my apologies that the new #wsartclub prompt will be going up late this month. I'll try and do it this evening, but more realistically it will be Sunday.

If you have been following me on ‪@60butsassy-growingolddisgracef‬ you will know that I haven't been feeling my best. That, coupled with huge commitments at work this week have left me with little to no time. I do hope you will understand

Good afternoon, everyone! I hope you are all well and keeping warm!
I hope you will be able to join me at 6.30pm this evening for the Premiere of my channel birthday video which I filmed the other day. Life has been a bit hectic so I have only just managed to schedule.

There are lots of statistics, some funny moments, some poignant moments, Blue makes a brief appearance and I talk some rubbish too! It wouldn't be a Paper&Twine video if I didn't drivel on!

There are lots of things I forgot to mention, so look out for a part 2 coming your way soon.

Don't worry if you can't join me for the premiere, the video will be there for you to watch at your convenience.

Thank you, once again, for being such a wonderful community, you ALL mean the world to me xxx I ask YOU some questions which I'd love answers to as well!

Good morning, everyone, I hope you are well. I just wanted to let you all know, I plan to start writing Christmas cards for those of you who requested one from my 30 Days of Clean and Simple Christmas cards series.
As you will hear in today's #pttagclub new prompt video that will upload later this morning, I'm struggling a bit with my health. I don't even want to open my advents, or do the things that normally bring me joy, so please be patient. I WILL get there in the end!
Many crafty hugs

Hello everyone, I hope you are well.
I just wanted to let you know I don’t currently have an internet connection at home so I’m unable to edit and upload videos at the moment. I’m also unable to watch YouTube which is annoying, I feel like I’ve had an arm cut off! I’m only able to create this post because I’m staying in Shropshire - returning home this morning! Hopefully normal service will be resumed soon, but please be advised, #pttagclub prompt may be late this month.
Happy crafting everyone

Good afternoon, everyone, I hope you are well and have sunshine. We do, but it's a bit nippy!
As you know, my mum passed away at the end of January and I said that any Ad revenue I earn during February, March and April, I would donate to charity.
Thanks so much to ‪@karinberonius8799‬ who has watched so much of my back catalogue!
Anyway, which charity do you think I should support?
Mum was living with breast cancer, but cancer charities have so much support. She also had vascular dementia, COPD and heart issues. Please comment for me!

Good morning, everyone, I do hope everyone is well and enjoying the sunshine!

I need to apologize for the lack of uploads recently. I've been extremely busy and am so physically exhausted I'm really behind. I've not managed to watch many of my friends' content either. Added to that, hubby is upgrading my PC and all my video clips are on there. I should have posted a Secret Diary of a Serial Dieter video on Monday, I did film a weigh in, but just haven't had the opportunity to edit it yet.


I think going forward as we are now in longer and hopefully brighter days I might experiment with DITL videos here and there along with paper craft tutorials. What do you guys think?
I hope to get some content up for you soon (not that anyone is really that bothered 🤣🤣🤣)

Lots of love to my community

Hello everyone, I know many of you have been with me on this channel since the beginning. I just wanted to share that very sadly, my mum passed away on Sunday night. I have videos edited and ready to upload, including a weekly vlog from last week but as I'm sure you can imagine I have other things on my mind at the moment. Please continue, if you are able, to watch my videos as I would like to donate any ad sense revenue I earn during the next couple of months (it will be very small!) to charity - you can help me decide which one, and whatever I make through ads, I will match.
Thank you for your support, it means the world
