Meet The MIM Team - Sandy

Hi!

Welcome to the last Meet The MIM Team feature.

It has been so much fun introducing the team to you and I hope you have all enjoyed getting to know them a little better.

Today we have the oportunity to visit with 

Sandy

Hi everyone,

This is me! and I'm actually at Shirley's house for a morning of craft. (Shirley is one of the other DT members)

I'm married with 5 grown up children and 3 grandchildren. I'm an avid crafter who enjoys having a "go" at most things. I go to quite a few different craft groups so most days find me somewhere involved with other people and craft, LOL. I'm also involved in singing and am a member of my church choir and also a large choir of about 80 people. This choir performs about 4-5 times a year singing classic works mainly and also doing a couple of charity performances around Christmas time. We also sometimes do a cabaret style concert and have one coming up soon.
I've recently changed churches so still getting into the swing of things at the new one. I was on the Pastoral committee and also in charge of church luncheons etc at the last church ( we attended there for 20-21 years)

I have a whole room full of cupboards to keep my craft, but it still has overflowed into other rooms and I don't actually craft in there because I like to be out in the family room or in the dining room.
This is a pic of the top of a  kitchen hutch I bought for $10 at an auction. Hubby turned it upside down and added a piece of wood at the top (originally this part  would have attached to the missing cupboard, LOL)
and put my bookshelf on top. As you can see, it's still a bit messy as I have bits and pieces of craft on the floor still. It keeps all my books, patterns, cardstock and beads all neat and tidy. I'm still working on sorting a couple of the shelves!!!

Here are a few photos of places near my home in Prospect, South Australia where I have lived since marrying Adrian in 1975!!!  

This is St. Helen's Park, you can see the rotunda where my son got married a few months ago in March.   Right at the back of the park, is a kindergarten and this is where all 5 of my children attended so many years ago now.

 This is a photo of the church I attend in the city

 and this is one of the inside of the church, LOL. just imagine me sitting in the row of seats next to the organ console on the left hand side of the picture!!!

and lastly, this one is of a mural painted on the building on the corner of our street. It depicts lovely  Australian Flora.

I am enjoying being part of the team here at Make It Monday and I hope you enjoy seeing all the cards that the DT make each week and being part of this fabulous Linky Party!

Keep linking those cards up,

See you soon,
Sandy

Thank you for your wonderful post Sandy.

I'm so jealous that you get to craft with my Mum (Shirley-Anne) more than I do! lol.

Adelaide is such a beautiful city and I'm looking forward to coming "home" in September. Hope to catch up with you then.

Michelle :o)
