As well as writing my book, I am a keen card-maker and have pages on Facebook and Instagram for my cards and poems, which I call Keepsake.

My greetings cards are generally made with A4 or A5 card, in a range of colours. Each one has a double middle paper insert for a personal message. The card itself can be personalised as well. Some are decoupage cards, and some have scalloped edging. Some are embellished with little gems, lace or bows.

Sometimes I have the grandchildren round and we have a lot of fun making cards, or doing other crafty bits together. Family is very important to me, and I am lucky enough to have some nearby. Here are three of the younger grandchildren crafting together.

One of my best customers, who has ordered several cards and poems from me is Ann T from Canterbury who writes:
“Keepsake does a lovely framed poem and beautiful cards.”
