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 

Monday catch up video 

Much love and hugs

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
