Hi to all.

My name is Clare, but freinds call me Claz. I am mum to Alicia-Rhiann 7, Aston-Hugh 4 (Azi suffers with Autism) and we are expecting number 3 very, very soon. I have been happily married to Darren (Daz) for 8 years.

We live in the suburbs of Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

As a family we are trying to live as green a life as possible. We are on a Self Sufficientish Drive. We want to have the perfect "Good Life" way of life but we are only just starting out.

I am very into Arts & Crafts, have been since I could hold a crayon. Also been interested in nature and wildlife since about the same time. My daughter loves crafting too so we are both able to spend time together making stuff for ourselves and the family.

I've had a very good look around this forum and have decided it's deffinately a place for me. I hope to make some new friends and join in with plenty of discissions. I've already found loads of useful tips and suggestions in the craft section to keep us going for a few weeks.

Blessed Be
Claz

Hi Lisa, thanks for the welcome.

Yes, I do get a little carried away with forums they can be addictive when you find one that has loads of good stuff you like and the people are nice. I am a member of 2 others forums and also have a blogspot and website.

My other half has to reign me in sometimes. But it's "Mummy Time" and I say I can spend it how I want  ;D
I work hard all day with the kids, especially Aston he's a handful, and the house doesn't keep itself clean!
And the forums I'm a member of all have something useful to offer, I'm not just sat here chatting about Celebrity BB
