Busy busy busy......

I always say I am going to try harder at adding to my blog...
I returned last Friday after a  much needed week long break in Fowey Cornwall, David and I had a fab time and the sun shone all week and Alfie (can't remember weather I've  mentioned him before, but he is our puppy dog, well not for much longer he turns 1 on Sunday) came with us instead of the kids. It was the first holiday we have ever had where there was no sulking, as he was just happy to tag along with us... where ever we went!

When I got back it was straight  into work mode for a Saturday workshop over in Northallerton and  from there I drove to Doncaster for Stamp Magic on the Sunday... I had a great time, as I have never done a show before and even though my stamps are in several shops it was great to be demoing them for such a large audience, thanks Paula for inviting me.

Then it was back home to all that dirty washing and ironing!!! and 2 magazine article deadlines (only to find out the boiler had gone bang again!!! and it was the coldest night of the year.) With the last article just posted I can at least take breath, before I start on the cleaning...

October!!! already and no post

Hi to you all out there, just realised first week of October has been and gone! and no post from me. I seem to get myself into a good routine of blogging then my good intentions go right out of the window. Perhaps its because I am so busy with this and that as always, but hey I am not complaining.

I am off to Sirstampalot this weekend to do 2 all day classes and I am really excited as it means I will be able to do something quality craft retail threapy and prehaps buy a few more copic pens!!! So if your coming along to my class I can't wait to meet you. Well I had better go and pack up my belongings and hope that theres no traffic delays.

Good afternoon to everyone out there. I can't believe its Friday already! where did this week go? Its been one of those where I have been running around like a headless chicken all week, yet not achieving much and my list of must get done a.s.s.p is still as long as it was on Monday. Oh well I guess theres always next week.

Today thought I would share with you this very simple easel card with my Molly Blooms Santa.I have used a
limited number of colours just red, white and aqua. Santa is coloured in using my beloved copic pens. The colours I have used to get the deep red are : R35, R37, R39 and a touch of R59.

Well I had better go and get some prep done for tomorrows Molly Blooms workshop over at the Paper Lane in Northallerton, if your coming I look forward to seeing you there!  Its just my kind of shop with not a single peel off sheet in sight... now don't get me started!

Have a lovely weekend,
