'I have been passionate about arts and crafts since I was very young. As a child I would always have a pencil in my hand and spend hours drawing what was around me or what was in my imagination. As I grew older I began to enjoy making handmade cards and gifts and this has continued to the present day. Originally the character of Susie started as an illustration on family birthday cards but after a while my husband suggested they would be good as children's books. At first the stories were an ideal way of keeping a record of what we did together but soon I realised that they were more than that so I started to develop 'SimplySusie by Beverley'. We had many happy times together and through my 'Susie Series' books, cards and gifts you too will fall in love with little Susie!' @simplysusiebybeverley
