Time to Chill

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in 

I am so sorry I have been absent for a while but I needed a little break 

Ok

A holiday 

We are currently in Crete

I am catching up with you, by the pool, 

Cheeky brew on the table (no biscuit , I need to be good ) 

Time to just relax 

I have a very busy few months ahead…so I just need to recharge my batteries. 

Last Saturday it was my 

Sharing the Love of Lavinia workshop at the Dreamatorium

Such a wonderful day 

Lovely to meet Lorraine, over from Australia 

I always get spoilt, chocolates, hand cream , a journal and beautiful flowers. 

I am so blessed to be able to do what I do. 

Many people have asked after Amanda leaving  what is going on.

Crafting  like any other business is one where there are choices…

I am happy and totally committed to Tracey and Lavinia stamps and will continue to promote them online, 

in workshop, and in YouTube’s. 

As I get older though I may just need more breaks and some more family time. 

I sure you all understand

I have a lovey crafty catch up to share with you using Alcohol inks.

You can join me here .

Flower Festival

Hi everyone, 

Welcome to June. 

I do hope your new month has started well. 

Karl , Eric and me have been to Delamere Forest for a couple of nights in 

our camper van. 

So lovely to walk, relax and enjoy cheeky brews and biscuits in the fresh air.

Just what we needed. 

As it is a new month we have a new 

Lavinia Challenge 

Our new theme is 

Flower Festival 

Here is some inspiration. 

I started with some colour 

Gradually building up the background 

Then adding some  stamping 

Some more, 

As you know 

I adore florals 

And grasses 

Some finishing touches 

Here is a closer look 

All the information can be found on the Lavinia stamps website 

Good luck 

Enjoy your Sunday 

Much love and hugs
