A treat for my girls

I thought I'd just give you all a treat before I go away for a couple of days with my girls. We are off for a bit of pampering.........I can't wait!



I think this is a lovely layout for a card, whilst I'm away try and make one too using a similar layout!

See you all when I get back.

Happy crafting.

Day Workshop

Hi Everyone,

Here are 6 ladies who can't believe they are the lucky ones who have managed to book a place on one of my all day workshops!

If you want to know what you are missing email me and I will put you in touch with any one of these ladies who will let you know exactly what you are missing!





My all day workshops have become more and more relaxed, with an extended morning session, great healthy lunch provided and an afternoon filled with fun, laughter and a few more card making ideas!

I can run a day workshop for any of you and you friends, just let me know that you are interested and we can organise a date.

Happy crafting.

Precious

I said that I would try and get back to you with the scrapbooking page I did yesterday. I was hoping to complete it, but actually decided it was OK just like it was. I might journal later, you might recoginise the photo, its my youngest daughter Kim, she has been at University for a couple of years now and has spent most of her free time away from home with her boyfriend, oh yes she popped in, spent some time here but its not like I expected. I thought she'd be home regularly for longer periods etc, etc etc. Well it seems that I am now going to see even less of her now, she has been offered a really great job in France, for her "year abroad", the contract is for 54 weeks! Then she needs to spend 3 months in Germany before she gets back for her final year at uni. So I made this page, as I can't stop thinking about her, chosing one of her "facebook" photos and all I could think of was how precious she is to us all, me, Sarah and David. She is always happy, she tries to cheer us all up if we are down and now she is off for a whole new adventure. I look at this page and realise how difficult it is letting our children "go free", letting them get their own lives, but hopefully she realises how precious she is to us and will take complete and utter care of herself!

Enjoy the page, its simple, but simple is what I do best!




and Kim, if you see this, please take care, we all love you very much.

New Home

I am having a lovely weekend, although I am sure I shouldn't be saying that, as David has gone away to play American Softball for the Oxford Devils. Its the national championships which are being held somewhere in the Manchester area. I was supposed to go and support but couldn't let my scrapbooking ladies down, well that was my excuse anyway!

After spending the whole day yesterday running my crop and tidying up after it this morning, I've spent the afternoon thinking of some of our friends who have moved house this weekend. If we had been free we would have helped them, but with the way my arms are and David being away we were unable to offer our support this time.

Hope you like the card I've made them:



I will be back later with a scrapbooking page made yesterday - hopefully.

Messing about with metal

Just a little peek at something a bit different:



Something to look forward to at my classes in June.

Happy crafting.
