Hi, I am Caz/Cazro, or Carole Robson the new owner of Sparkles Christmas Challenges. 

I have been on the DT for a number of years, I was delighted to take 

on running the blog when Shaz, the previous owner decided she wished to move on.

I do enjoy making Christmas cards and have welcomed challenges which

have encouraged me to make cards throughout the year. 

I love Christmas, it is so special, a time for the family to gather, to enjoy 

the fun and spirit of Christmas and my Birthday which is on Christmas Day.

I live near Durham city in the North East of England, surrounded by beautiful countryside.

My husband Keith and I have been married for many years, how quickly they pass  by.

We have two adult sons, 6 grand-children.

I am a retired Nurse Manager.
I became interested in paper crafting in 2003, over time stamping has become my passion.
I am addicted to stamping and to collecting stamps.
I have had a blog since July 2012, I have been on various DT's .
I eventually got the courage to start my own challenge blog in January 2014
