Well I know slightly more about crafting than I do about blogging , which isn't a lot !!
I learnt most what I know from Kim Sutton and her team at Blyth Craft Studio.
With added input from Lynnda Worsnop of Oak House Studios, Leonie Pujol, Nikki Hall, Carley Duff,Debbi Moore and a host of other very clever crafty folk .
