First Ever Post (and I’m nervously excited...)

 So... today I have taken the plunge and signed up for my own blog. I’m kind of nervous- I like to succeed in all that I do (really who doesn’t!) and I’m kind of a perfectionist (those who know me will confirm this!). However I’m choosing to step out of my comfort zone and do something that I hope will not only share my love of crafting with others, but also inspire, encourage and support others to start creating as well. 

A little about me- I’m 40 something, A carer for a person with a disability, and I work a couple of days a week as an Early Childhood Teacher. I love to make things, I enjoy cooking and I dabble at gardening- mostly hardy Australian natives and succulents because I tend to kill anything else! I have a four legged companion who is generally referred to as “the supervisor” because his favourite place to lay is under my feet. I like to sing- not because I’m overly good at it, but because it’s something that I find calming- with all the hats that I juggle, there are some days when I sing a lot! If I’m not making something, cooking or singing- I’m snuggled up somewhere reading (usually with a cuppa close by).

My blog name “Made just for you by sis” came about for two reasons. My family all call me Sis, it came from having a first name that was a little tricky for my younger siblings to say! And I stamp everything I make with a “made just for you” stamp. My first stamping efforts were only every name for my family members so they were always signed “made just for you by Sis” and it made sense to just keep on using the name.

I have recently signed up to be a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator- partly because I can get fabulous discounts but mostly because I’d like to be able to share my interest and love of making things with others. I’ve been with the company for a few months now and while I’ve only ran one party, I’m going with the motto “slowly, slowly catchee monkey” And trusting in Gods timing- not my own.

You can also follow me on Instagram (krisha_thomas) or Facebook (@madejustforyoubysis) or check out my Web Page: https://krishathomas.stampinup.net/  here you can explore the amazing products I will show you and if you’re in Australia, you can place an order or book a class (if you live near me!)

As my photo says “the expert was once the beginner” (Helen Hayes) and today is the first day of my blogging journey. I am sure that I will make mistakes, I’m sure that I will forget to make posts or forget to actually post them- but that’s all part of the learning journey. 

Thankyou for reading my first post. 

Until next time, 

Happy crafting.
