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

What a weekend

Hi everyone, 

Welcome to Monday 

I do hope you had a lovely weekend.

We went over to Dublin to catch up with some crafty friends. 

I do feel so lucky to have made special  friends and still meet up after so many years. 

Oh and we have so many tales to tell. Claire & David dropped us off at the airport ready for our lunch time flight….

Well that was the plan 

The weather had different ideas 

So many flights were cancelled….

Ours was delayed for ten and a half hours….!!!!

It was chaos, people everywhere.

Not enough food, water, seats, 

Charging points for phones 

And our boarding passes were on our phones. 

My poor tummy…especially as I hate the waiting 

Not to mention the bumpy flights…in the dark at 2am!!!!!

Anyway…safely back home now 

I would have shown you this yesterday but I needed to save the battery on my phone 

On Thursday we start the 4 day Hallaganza 

Also we have a new release of stamps 

The Starlight Whispers Collection

Here is one of my samples 

I started by creating the baubles,  

Choosing my colours

Using the acetate circle masks 

Next some stamping 

Once I had created the baubles 

Next I added some colour, 

Followed by some  foliage , 

Some posca splats 

and some stickles Glitter glue 

You could just create one bauble if you wanted , 

 I was spoilt for choice with the new stamps.

I must get on as I have Eric at the vets at 12noon  today 

Have a lovely day and I will pop back later with our Monday catch up video 

Lots of coffee needed today 

Much love and hugs

Wreath Time

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in today. 

I do hope your day is going well. 

I have been busy today, Adam is still struggling after having his tonsils out.

I think it will take a while before he feels better..

Eric has been to physio , Katie is so lovely…

She noticed a lump under his eyelid on his left eye…so we are back at the vets on Monday 

Always something !!!

I have just made a brew so thought it was a great time for a catch up.

Todays video is using the stamp & spin tool 

I have had so many messages asking for a full video using the tool.

So here we are 

You can join me here

For a well earned holiday 

They both work so hard…

We all need to chill….

And relax 

Much love and hugs

Something a bit Different

Hi again everyone.

I have just walked Eric, made a brew and thought I would 

have another little catch up with you all. 

I may just be having a cheeky biscuit too. 

I have something a bit different for you today..

I really enjoyed creating some tags out of Yuppo card.

I added some pressed flowers 

and some pure Lavinia Alcohol inks. 

I haven’t seen this done before…

So I was so pleased how it looked

and how it combined so many products 

I do hope you like it too 

and join me here
