my good friend and an amazingly talented lady
"Alyce"

Hi everyone! So what is Kit and Clowder you ask? Well since I have and create a 'collection' of crafts...I thought I would name my blog after a collection of things! As cats are my fave, a collection of cats is a 'Clowder', and my cats favourite thing is birds, and 'Kit' is a collection of Pigeons! There you have it! :) I enjoy all aspects of crafting and am often trying my hand at new techniques. I love cardmaking because anything goes! Thanks for visiting my blog and leave a comment so I can visit yours too! :)
