Hi my name is Ami-May, I am 20 years of age, I suffer with Borderline Personality Disorder && Asthma because (BPD) it’s a mental illness many people don't understand how hard living with the illness is due to the fact you can’t see what’s going on in my mind.  I have to fight every day to be normal in a way.. As depression, Anxiety && Hallucinations  affects me in every way.. Due to admission into hospital in October 2011, I found card-making as my outlet and it also helps in distracting me from the illness every-day.. I have very much learnt most crafting thing all by myself with a help from my crafting friends, Due to my Anxiety /Social Anxiety I do not leave my little flat a lot unless with my boyfriend of 2 years (June 18th 2011) He helps me a lot with the things I can’t or struggle with, And because of this I do not have many mates in the real world, most of my friends I have met through crafty Facebook groups/blogs etc. I live on my own in my little flat in a small town in Derbyshire, with my little cat – Shyla who is currently a year and half.. she helps me a lot in not feeling alone, and she is  defiantly my cat,, she sits with me all day long and is never far away when I’m sleeping to.

Other things i enjoy is - reading, cross stitching, scrap-booking , other paper-crafts, watching films. babysitting my brother. 

The main person in my life apart from my partner Jake, mum&&dad, is my brother who is currently going to turn 6 in October (Halloween Baby).. He is my little star. And he is defiantly sissy’s --- (his name for me) boy.. When I have the bad day – he’s the one that keeps me fighting everyday.. as I know he looks up to me. I moved out of my mums when I was 18 nearly 19—due to fact I didn’t want her caring for me when I am really bad, my mum brought me up to be very independent. I lived in housing occasion flats where there 24/7 staff there for help  - to teach you how to live independently and how to get your own flat—and a couple of days before my 20th birthday I got my own little flat- me, my Partner,My Mate,Parents decorate my whole flat in 2weeks.. And here I am, 20 and living on my own independently..
I have my own little crafty corner in my living room( my flat is very small so it’s the only place it can go) , which my dad has made me a storage unit for all my craft stuff.. I will be making a handmade curtain myself to cover it up.. and all that will be on show is my desk and the storage unit.. as it’s not a nice view when people come into my living room.. I will dedicate a page on my blog when I finished (11/01/2013/.

I hope you have found this information useful in getting to know me and why I started crafting – and I hope I haven’t bored you.. if you would like to know more or ask any questions, please feel free to email me at littlemayscards@gmail.com.

P.s if you would like to know more about my illness please ask(I am very open about this_ or follow this link..( http://www.mind.org.uk/mental_health_a-z/8037_understanding_borderline_personality_disorder)  The more awareness that mental illness are very much as bad as physical illness’s the better in helping people like me get understood and more help.


I hope this post was of interest to in getting to know who i am and why i began card-making and crafting in general. 

Hugs&&Kisses
