I have a cold ....


I can't believe i have a stinkin cold, mind you better this week than next. I have just had a little break in Portugal, and haven't been near anyone but my hubby Craig so I think I have picked this little bug up from the plane on the way home, that's what you get from sharing your air with 300+ people! Never mind it's not too bad but my throat is sore too. I have had a busy few weeks and haven't done much crafting :( but I am on the home straight for the April retreat on the 20th, it means i am going to have a busy week and a half up to the 20th but then as well as being the organiser, I will be able to join in with the classes, and create some amazing projects :) Just before i went away i also completed my first Stampin Up workshop woop woop, thanks to my friend Val for holding it for me, and thanks to Lesley for helping me at it. It went really well and two more ladies have booked workshops for May and June. I will post some pictures a little later of some bits and pieces i made before |i went away so watch this space .....
Beautiful Spring Flowers (March 2012).

Well here goes my first post on my blog. I wanted to back pedal a little as last weekend was the first ever Scrapstars event. I didn't have a blog then but have been encouraged (and bullied) to start one! I'd love you to read the reviews of the event on Kathy and Kirsty's blogs, they have been so kind and supportive and you can find the links in my list of favourite blogs. The retreats have come about as it is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I was an avid Scrap-a- Ganza visitor and when that folded in 2008, I like so many other tried the Inspired retreat, which I have to say was fantastic, but I don't think I need to say more about what happened to the October 2010 event. I was the lady along with Karen Laverock , who tried to do a "rescue retreat" but as so many people had lost confidence in the whole event, it wasn't viable to move forward. In the end, I decided that as I had been thinking about it for two years, I should just go for i...

Stampin Up .....

Well as my friend Sarah put on facebook, I have crossed over to the dark side! I have never been a card maker, i think I have made two under duress ever. Julie Kettlewell a great stampin up demonstrator came to my Scrapstars retreat last September and did make n takes on the Saturday evening. I was so busy running around, I hardly had chance to look at anything, but Robyn talked me into buying an owl punch. I haven't even had it out of the bag, but Julie rang me in the new year and asked me if I would have a party, I don't normally like to have these parties as I never think I can get anyone to come and I don't like my friends to feel pressured into buying. BUT It was a great evening, everyone joined in, we had a great atmosphere and everyone enjoyed themselves. Thanks Julie, and thanks to everyone for coming. These are cards I made at julie's class the week before the party.
