Fabulous Lavinia Fairy Festival

Hi everyone 
Thanks so much for popping in again. 
I do hope you had a wonderful weekend. 

As you know it was the Lavinia Fairy Festival 
at The Dreamatorium in Ruthin. 





I arrived on the Thursday afternoon ready to catch up with everyone, 
such a warm welcome. 





Sarah , Mona and me went out for a meal.
Small Plates in Ruthin…
It serves the most amazing food 
My favourite…Mona’s too 
is the gf orange cake with ice cream..
Honestly it is so yummy 
A real ‘when Harry met Sally ‘ moment….!!!!!





Friday and Saturday were great fun, 
So good to see old friends, 



And meet new ones too 







It was fabulous to meet Melinda , she has been joining in with my online class for years, 
and travelled over from Germany. 






I had a live video on Friday plus 
A craft along with Sarah on Saturday 
They are on the Lavinia stamps  fb page…
I do hope you have watched them..
Especially the craft along , 
Honestly it was so much fun…

Not to mention a special ‘hands on ‘ video that we made 
It will be published soon 

Today I am unpacking my bags, 
Washer is on 
and catching up with messages 

Take care all 
I will be back later with our

July - Once Upon A Time

Good morning everyone 
Welcome to July 
and a new Lavinia Challenge 

Our new theme is 

Once Upon A Time 

We have so many stamps , stencils etc that could be used for your design 
Remember the winner is chosen at random and wins a £40 voucher to spend at Lavinia stamps. 
All the details are on the website 

Here is some inspiration.




My first thought was a story book 
and you know how much I love this stamp 

I started with some stamping and I masked the ink pot 



More stamping 




Some stencil work 



Some colour 

and those finishing touches




I can’t wait to see all your fabulous designs 
Have a lovely day and I will pop back later with our 
Tuesday catch up video 

Take care all 
Much love and hugs
