I think my obsession with working with paper started when I was four years old.

My Mum tells me I always had a pen or scissors in my hand, and that I amused myself for hours cutting photos out of comics or magazines. I can remember cutting out beautiful pictures of fairy cakes and laying them out on my tea set for a doll and teddy bear’s picnic!

My dream job at the time was to work in the Doll’s Hospital in Dublin, though. In my eyes, that beautiful old shop in George’s Street (which is sadly now closed) where we brought my dolls or teddy bears to be repaired was a real hospital! That idea came from Twinkle, for any of you followers who may remember it.

Childhood imagination is a wonderful thing!

Many years later, here I am still cutting, colouring, painting and making things with paper. There’s nothing that cannot be created with paper. Paper crafting brings out the kid in me!
