Good morning everyone,

Well, I've recovered from a great weekend at Stoneleigh, it was great to see so many friendly faces, especially the lovely Pauline and her daughter.
Apart from demoing on the stand, I did my own shopping and picked up some great stamps and ideas from fellow crafter's to bring back to Maidstone for future workshops. So many thanks to Wendy at Card-io, Kay at Indigo Blue and Kay of Hougie fame.
I would share some pickies of the cards I made but unfortunately they went onto the van, I will try and get to them tomorrow and share them later.
Here is the talented Kay and the lovely Phil having s quick cuddle.

Thanks for

Visiting, pop into the warehouse it would be great to see you.

Good morning everyone,
What a busy few days ahead we have. Today is our ribbon flower workshop with the lovely Trish from The Ribbon Box,
There are a couple of spaces still available, but if you cannot make today then pop along tomorrow, where Trish will be demonstrating all day 10.00 till 4, you can even have a go yourself and go home with your creations.
There will also be the lovely Eileen Godwin and the equally lovely Barbara Cleggett, who are using masks,inks,stamps and dies.
If jewellery is your thing then we have that covered also, our very patient (well she has to be where I am concerned) Lynne, will be showing you how to make earings, sit down and choose your style from a vast range of beads or some bling and make your own to wear home.
Nearly forgot there is also a shop to browse around while enjoying a cuppa and a cake.
We look forward to seeing you.
On a personal note I want to thank the Tuesday ladies who stayed behind and helped me re-organize the shop, there will be a little gift waiting for you next week.

Morning everyone,
I have the day off today, but I will still be crafting, we just keep away can we.
I have been busy this week away and home, firstly a great day with Eileen Godwin who will be demoing at our extravaganza on the 28th June. Then there was Lynn's jewelry workshop, now I am not a beader but I gave it a go and was pleased with my efforts, thankfully Lynn has a lot of patience.
Finally I have been stamping with the Chocolate Baroque Harebell butterfly stamps, I hope you like the pickies.
What a mixed week I have had, this weekend I will be prepping for future workshops check out the Web site for details I look forward to seeing you.

Good morning everyone,
Yippee, Spectrum noir pencils have arrived and I have been busy playing with them.I will show my final results later but I'm loving them, so smooth and they blend beautiful. I have to say I have been using them on their own and over Promarkers both with great results.
Here is a quick card using Chocolate Baroque stamps, my fave at the moment but this will change next week when their new butterfly stamps arrive.

Since I took this picture I have added gems and beads to the centre's of the flowers, drop in one day and see it in the flesh or catch us at the Taunton show in June.
I hope you have a great weekend,

Good morning everyone,
A big thank you to everyone who came over to see us at Biggin hill, it was great to see so many familiar faces. I love demoing at local shows we get to catch up with so many friends.
I also have to thank Marion and Jackie who helped me by making some card samples, and also Marion for helping me on the day.
I have been busy at base camp this week with my pop up box workshop, it still amazes me how each one is so different.
I  have the workshop again on Friday if you want to come along it will be great to see you, I think there are still places available check out the Website.
Here are some pickies of Tuesday's boxes, and the keys are from a previous workshop, hope you like them, please leave a comment it's always good to get feedback.
Happy crafting,

Good morning everyone,
I hope you all had a great weekend, I definitely did. I love it when parcels arrive it means (normally) lots of things to play with.
The most difficult decision is where to start.
After Friday's workshop with the lovely Eileen Godwin ideas were aflowing.
Now today I am getting ready for tomorrow's workshop.
Work,work,work it's so hard lol.
Here are some pickies of Eileen's day and a card I made with stamps from Woodware check out the Website.
Hope you like it,
