Stranded: Chapter 2
After a few days stranded on an island, I decided I have to do something to keep my sanity! I opened my precious scrapping luggage which saved me from drowning as I don’t really know how to swim. Everything was ruined except for some supplies I placed in an air-tight Ziploc freezer bag. A photo of Christina; plain cardstocks: blue for my background [just like the skies above me as I sat on the beach checking each item in the bag]; yellow like the pale flowers that bloomed in the distance lining up the horizon where most of the greenery is found; orange like the afternoon sun that will soon set in a few hours; green like the kelp washed up on the beach, and white…like the sand between my toes. As I scrounge around a little bit more, there scattered on the shore beside me are colored fine-tipped Sharpies, pencils, pens, and some pieces of crayons [must belong to someone else as I don’t remember bringing any]. I rescued my glue stick floating in shallow waters among the rocks. What is that glint I see on the sand?! Yeyyy!!!! My tiny folding scissors!
Technique:
Everything on my LO is hand-drawn, hand-cut, and made from cardstocks from the DCWV Summer and Spring Stacks [except for the photo]. The journaling is from the song “You Are So Beautiful to Me” by Joe Cocker.

About Me:
I am CraftFairy. I love to make crafts to give away as gifts. I’ve made a few bucks crocheting baby blankets, making Christmas decorations, mini dolls, and jewelry. Making money out of my crafts was not really a full- or part-time job for me. It just came in spurts when I get requests from friends. There came a time I didn’t do any crafting and more of chatting on the internet. DH said I should change my name to Chat Fairy [haha!]. The biggest amount I got for a one-time job I did was enough to get me a Cricut Expression and an extra cartridge! All I did was design flyers for a couple of friends’ catering business. The agreed-upon payment was supposed to be free home-cooked meals every now and then. Who would have “thunk” that they’ll fall in love with the logo I designed that they decided to buy it from me! Hmmm….. looks like I have another hidden talent… or was it just pure luck?
