Arrival of........

A box of goodies.
Some of you may already know that I'm going to be demonstrating at various branches of The Range for Trimcraft. Well my box of products arrived today and OH My Days!! It's jam packed full of amazing goodies and so well stocked with tools and essentials too.
I have been given all the latest products in the new Santoro Range and they are stunning I have to say. The embellishments are totally fabulous. I really can't wait to get started on designing.
I have to say a big thank you to Cara at Trimcraft for these goodies.
I start my demonstrations mid February, but I will give you a list of where I'll be a bit later.
I will make some samples and show them on here too so you can all have a look at this fabulous new range .

I will be visiting the Paper Craft Fair Show at the Motor Cycle Museum, by the NEC tomorrow so if anyone is going let me know and we can meet up and say hi.

Hurrah!!!!.........

At last!!! Ive been able to get the laptop working long enough to upload a photograph. Now I'm switching to the IPad to complete the post before I loose it all again....... 

Well long time no hear from me.

I can only apologise to you all once again. Hope you haven't got bored waiting for a new design.

I was asked to design some cards, made with IndigoBlu stamps, for the Crafty Bunch in Telford and this is one of the designs.

I've used the Dinkie Butterfly for this one along with the wording from the Poppy Meadow set.

I do love this butterfly, don't you?

I little bit of blending around the edges with some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink finishes it off nicely.

Well I hope you don't have to wait as long for the next post. I haven't forgotten my promise of a giveaway, don't worry.

I Passed......

YAY!!!!! I passed my final computer course exam yesterday with 92% can't tell you how pleased I am. There's hope for me yet. Just got to get a new laptop sorted now!!

I had the most lovely time again, up in the lakes at the Paper Warehouse, with a fabulous bunch of ladies. I'd been asked to go up there,  every month, to teach cards made with IndigoBlu stamps and we had a great time.
My next visit is on the 27th February and we have fifteen ladies booked in already. So looking forward to it.

Anyway no photos as yet but I am working on it and will be back tomorrow with some (hopefully)

P s.... Have you noticed the fancy wording hee hee!! Computer course wasn't a waste of time after all

200 and Counting......

Well here it is!!
Blog post number 200 can you believe it. I think it's time to celebrate with a giveaway again don't you???
I firstly want to thank you all for taking the time to join me here on my little blog. It humbles me to have you here with me and I hope you all continue to do so.

I am going to attempt to load some pics on here tomorrow (before my laptop cuts out again) and I will organise a little prize too.
Oh yes! I have the laptop back but shes untreatable, she's well past her sell by date (I know that feeling after just celebrating another birthday) so I have to hope she stays on long enough to upload the photos then I can continue on the iPad.
So I'll be back with mire details very soon.
Ooooh what shall we giveaway this time?????????

Today's the Day For......

A new indigoblu challenge, mock exams and a hangover.
Let's deal with the last one first. Yesterday was my birthday!! So I was invited out to dinner with my best friend and my sister and we had a great night, with good food and several bottles of red wine, and many laughs. Well the head is just a little fuzzy this morning which generally I would deal with in a slow, getting there eventually fashion but it just so happens I have my Word2 mock exams this morning. Oh dear!!
I'm still struggling with mail merge and the memory isn't brilliant at the best of times so today will be fun (I don't think so).
Okay, onto the next indigoblu challenge. It's the 21st of the month which means a new challenge starts. My DT entry will have to be viewed on the IB challenge blog I'm afraid because, as you all know already, I'm still laptop less. I checked on her yesterday and it's not looking good. I feel a big expense coming on so may be eating beans on toast for a while!!!
Thursday will see me in the Lake District again and I'm looking forward to that and Friday may be seeing me doing the Word2 exam, well let's see how I do in the mocks first........ To be continued!!

Hi Guys.....

Helloooooooo!!

I'm still here bloggers,  it unfortunately the laptop still isn't!!
After bringing her home from the doctors on Saturday afternoon it wasn't very long until she slipped away again. I'm in complete dispair with it. Anyway back she's gone and I'm still awaiting  news from the computer doctor.

So, can you cope with just my rambling a for a little longer?? I do hope you can.

I'm off to the Lake District again, this coming week, to teach a lovely bunch of crafters at Grosvenor House Papers in Kendal.  Just a few more days until I see the lovely friends I met there once again. That includes you Joyce Egar!!
We will be doing cards made with IndigoBlu stamps, I will upload the photos as soon as repairs are completed.

I'm still ploughing through the computer course and am trying to work my way around "mail merging" and getting nowhere fast I hasten to add. I've been told not to worry, most people find it difficult ( or are they trying to be polite) and I'll get there in the end!! Time will tell........

Hopefully I'll be back very shortly

A quick post......

I've got a lot of IB samples to make just now, one for the next challenge, some for create and craft and more for the upcoming trade show next month.

I'll also soon be receiving my February DT pack for Jones Craft, with lots of new goodies I've been told. Can't wait!! Better get back to the craft room asap.

This is a really quick posting as my laptop will decide in a moment when she will switch herself off again. I thought it had been repaired and we would be back in business but no such luck I'm afraid.
