Hello, I’m Angela Malcolm.
Welcome to Been Busy Crafting. I am a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and have a passion for all things crafting.
My ethos is to create an informal ‘kitchen table’ meeting place, inclusive for everyone. To find out more about me and my crafting journey click here.
More About Me
The idea of crafting at my kitchen table comes from my childhood. I spent happy hours at my Grandma’s kitchen table with my Aunt making things to sell at the British Legion Christmas Fairs. We cut, stitched, joined and made jams and jellies etc. It was such a happy time.
Over the years I have done all kinds of crafting at my table. Sewing, cake decorating, card making amongst others. While I have been card making I had fun learning lots of new techniques. Now I enjoy sharing those skills with others. Whatever skill level, I feel that I can help people to make beautiful cards and home decor projects using card, inks and appropriate tools/techniques. I have met some lovely people and made some lifelong friends along the way.
During my time as a teacher (and being a parent) my response to ‘I can’t do that’ has always been ‘yet’. This is my ethos at the kitchen table 
It’s great when we have new people who go away having learned new skills and made new friends.
I am equally happy to come and meet your friends at your table…. Ask me about it.
