About Me

With many years experience working as a Senior PA / Office Manager with excellent Human Resources and Administration experience I developed this blog to show what I can bring for businesses in the North East of England. In my leisure time homes are my passion and so I've captured things that I've done in my home and garden.

Family Tree

I love this bronze leaf wall hanging I purchased from www.littlewoods.com a few years ago.

Rather than just leave it bare I decided to add some family photographs.  I bought some bare wood frames from www.ikea.com and painted them with some antique paint.  I then added some memorable items to each frame with super glue - old jewellery I didn't wear and buttons from my Grandma Ivy's sewing box.

Using a butterfly hair clip and a gold horse shoe as extra accessories the "Portrait" now has pride of place in my living room

Painting the frames with antique coloured paint
The finished product

Butterfly hair clip and a gold necklace cut in half brings a new life to the photographs
