Edward is bat hunting

Hi everyone, 

I hope today is going well. 

I feel a little better, although still coughing…(deep joy ) 

You know my throat often plays up…so I should be used to it by now.

I do hope you don’t get any of these naughty bugs…

Gentle hugs to anyone who needs them 

I have managed to record a video today…so that is a job ticked off my list. 

I also have our Tuesday catch up video to share with you 

Edward is off on a bat hunt 

I do love the new Annie & Edward stamps 

Here is a closer look

Another night of tv, feet up and Night Nurse 

Take care all 

Much love and hugs

Beautiful Birthday Card

Hi everyone, 

only me again. 

Thanks so much for joining me. 

I have been trying to get the designs made ready for our November online class 

Well it has taken me all day to make 1…

Only 3 more to create….

Fingers crossed tomorrow I will feel better and be more creative. 

Before I take Eric out I just wanted to share our 

Monday catch up video 

I really loved creating this, just so me…

Monday Morning

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in again. 

I do hope you had a lovely weekend and that your new week has started well. 

I have been ill all weekend with flu, and such a naughty cough and chest pains…

Bless them Elliot and Jenson gave me a cuddly polar bear to keep me warm.

Karl (such a romantic) bought me a some Night nurse..

I really appreciated both…and fingers crossed in a few days I will be back to normal 

I really must slow down next year…otherwise I think this will happen more often 

Today I thought I would share one of my recent samples with you.

I have used a mix of new and old stamps 

These new little cottages are perfect for New Home cards 

I started off with some stamping 

A few extra details. 

Some gentle stencil work behind…you know what I am like 

Next some Wink of colouring 

Here is a closer look 

So many possibilities with these fabulous cottages 

I’m off now for an extra coffee..

I feel I need it today.

I will pop back later with our Monday catch up video 

Until then , enjoy your day 

Much love and hugs

Time To Sparkle

Hi everyone, 

Hope today is treating  you well.

Happy 1st of November 

We have a new Lavinia Challenge and our theme is 

Time To Sparkle. 

Well, I don’t feel like sparkling at all….I have this horrible cold / flu bug that is going around 

Honestly I feel so rough..

Mind you I was expecting to be wiped out this week after the Hallowganza 

Here is my favourite photo,

Some inspiration for the Challenge 

Remeber all the information is on the Lavinia website…

And the winner is chosen at random, 

and wins a £40 voucher for Lavinia 

So please do enter 

Oh yes I have used the stamp & spin again 

I told you that I love it 

Building up the design using the small snowflakes.

A variety of colours of Versafine Clair inks 

I added the smaller snowflakes 

Some background Elements ink 

Some glitter 

Posca snow.

How fabulous and festive 

Right I am off now for. Coffee….and maybe a cheeky nap…I am shattered 

Fingers crossed normal services will be resumed next week 

Take care all 

Much love and hugs

Such an Amazing Weekend

Hi everyone, 

I hope today is treating you well. 

I hope you managed to catch some of the Lavinia fun this weekend 

It was the most amazing time, 

although I am shattered today 

It was so good to catch up with Tracey and everyone at HQ 

Always time for a cuddle with Jack 

I didn’t really get chance to take many photographs 

Here are a few , check out the Lavinia socials for more 

Great to demo alongside Tracey, Emma- Jo , Sarah , Mandy and Leesa. 

The icing on the cake was the live craft along with Sarah….

It was great fun 

Thanks to everyone who came to say hello..

Too many of you to mention…

but special thanks to those who did, who  gave hugs and 

Words of encouragement 

Eric had some special biscuits made for him…

He had one last night and loved it 

So many gifts, honestly 

You are all so kind 

Bless you all 

Thanks Diane for my amazing T shirt 

and Freda for my flowers.

My favourite colour 

I am blown away , thanks so much everyone 

Without you all, I wouldn’t do what I do 

Big hug
