About Me

​Hi, I'm Kerry a 42 year old drama teacher in a secondary school in the UK and a complete planner, creative journal, art and general craft and mixed media fanatic. I love creating pages, messing around with a paint brush and passing on my tips to others. I don't have any children or pets (in fact I'm scared of animals). I love to read, even though I don't get much time to and I love doing quizzes. Read on to read my online story.

My Story

Why did you start your blog?
Many years ago I used to have a very active website and group on MSN Groups called Starlight Studio Graphics. When I started I was I will admit a complete newbie to the internet and had no idea what I was doing. But I persevered and grew the group. It started off as me making 'sig tags' (very popular on MSN at the time). I got more confident and began learning html which was self taught and ended up being able to code html and php all my pages were html w3school certified and I was so impressed that I started creating layouts for others. The site grew and I branched in to pixel designed graphics and dolls, including some hand drawn bases and dolls that I drew from scratch and tubed for others to download.

​I opened up my own Starlight Studio Graphics domain in 2004 and closed it around 2010 when my life became just too busy and I fell out of love with the pixel world and graphics. On closing the main page had hit 800,000 hits and one of the subdomains 'Dollie World' had over 450,000 of those visitors.

So...why start again? I am at a different place in my life now at 40 years young and have rediscovered my love of crafts, planners and art and would like a little place to share my makes. (Mid life crisis anyone?)

I also set up You Tube Channel at the same time.

Other than planning do you do other crafts?
​Oh yes. I'm really in to art journaling and creative journaling. I just love creating memory pages as you can see in a variety of my blog posts here Art Journaling Series and here Creative Journaling. You can also join my art journaling group Kerrymay._.Makes a Mess

If money was no object, what planner would you use?
Now then...I would love a Kate Spade planner for the aesthetics, but honestly I don't think I would use it as the planner style itself is not for me with the zipped rings. I would also love a Foxy Fix and a real Midori.  However, the real midori is quite flimsy and has no pockets, so not sure that would for me either.

I'm more than happy to collaborate and I am available for sponsored posts and product reviews, so do get in touch.
