Happy Birthday Tess .

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your Friday is going well. 

Today is a special day in the Rice household as Tess is 9, I really can’t believe where the years have gone. 

We have cake to celebrate, 

And a card...

Hope you recognise Tess and Eric...

They are both fast asleep at the moment after their long walk down the fields this morning . 

I am busy getting ready for tomorrow’s Groovi workshop...it is our Manchester class and I am so looking forwards to seeing everyone..

The cards are made, and my bags are sort  of packed...so I thought it was time for a coffeee and catch up. 

Wednesday was our Hazel Grove workshops and we made more Christmas cards..

I really am doing so well this year..

This card is a great combination of Clarity Stamps and an embossing folder 

It is good to use a variety of products, and I do love this folder 

Some inks, torn paper and a moon mask, and we have a lovely scene ready to stamp on 

And look, a great quick and easy card 

And so easy to change the stamping , the colours, the shape of the moon etc to give a different look. 

We also made another quick card...

Bit of a favourite of mine..

Bet you would never have guessed .....a wreath card ...

Now our lovely Julie made a special cake for Wendy’s Birthday....unfortunately Wendy wasn’t well enough to join us. 

But I can honestly say the the cake didn’t go to waste ...

It was so yummy...Thank you Julie..

I do seem to eat my way through workshops these days....and yes, I love every minute of it...

After all what could be better than good friends, crafting along with lots of coffee and cake...

Sounds like a plan to me..

I hope you have a good weekend planned...are you going to any bonfire celebrations.? 

We are having our own little celebration with baby fireworks...so that they don’t upset Elliot and Tess...

Elliot is having a busy week too, after his Trick or Treat evening, he has been for his first swimming session and next will be his first bonfire celebration.

....

Oh I do love being a Grandma....( can you tell????) 

Right, coffee break over , so back to it...

Thanks for chatting, take care 

And do pop back soon

Much love and hugs
