December's 2025's Legendary Best (Overall) Winner invited to be Guest DT for February 2026 and Brenda accepted!!!

profile =  I live in the UK Cambridgeshire Fens, a farming community where the beautiful flat landscape stretches as far as the eye can see. Having MS I feel fortunate to be surrounded by a large supportive family and between us we have a wide range of large and small Animals. I have been crafting in one form or another for many years, it has introduced me to many talented crafters, some of who remain close friends. My love of Animals and Nature stems from my rural upbringing on a farm and continues to provides the inspiration for much of my crafting. I’m a stamper of many years and never feel a project is complete if it’s lacking stamping, my style leans towards inks, a bit of grunge and creating scenes, often with a touch of fantasy and invariably Flowers.

She's sharing two fantastic fantasy projects for February!!! 

Brenda chose fairies for her GDT projects: a tri-fold garden scene
