Design Recollections

Yes I have a rotten cold and my ribs/head are sore from sneezing and my nose is sore from blowing!

sigh

I managed to hold it all together over Saturday at Angela’s fabbytastic crop. What a great day we/I had.  The place was buzzing and the new ladies were just lovely, how nice to meet you all. Angela and I set up the hall with the tables in a U shape so we could all see and chat to one another easily and it worked a treat! Everyone introduced themselves in a round robbin which really helped get everyone acquainted.

The class was great, everyone took part and it was a real pleasure to do. Thank you everyone.

I got my altered box started (finished it at home as usual lol). This was Clare’s class from the Design Collective. It is home to the coaster book I did last week from Ali’s class, that worked out well. I now have a finished gift in a lovely box, well, I think so

That was the total sum of my day’s projects but I did not care, I was happy enough working away at making the crop a success and helping out. Most satisfying. Angela’s shop was busy and I am not surprised, the new stock flies out the door. Gorgeous Autumn Leaves Stamps, scrummy paper collections from anyone who is anyone and this week even more wonderful stash will be available including my favourite all purpose ‘Dew Drop Versa Magic’ and ‘Brilliance’ Inks. If you have never used these your missing out. Its my opinion that these leave ‘Cats Eye’ Chalk inks in the shade! More on this later for sure.

Since then its been a whirlwind with me sniffing and blowing my way through it. I have hardly had a minute to try and breath (and that is not easy) It was Andrew’s Birthday on Sunday, that went well. He had a lovely day. We spent the morning messing around and then went 10 Pin Bowling in the afternoon followed by dinner at TJI Fridays. All a great success then home for birthday cake.

Yesterday I was out all morning with my ladies group and then shopping after taking Nicholas to Nursery, then rounds of homework, dealing with a pain in the neck 14 year old, making dinner and all out for Rainbows by 5.30PM. Home at 7.30PM (had to give Brownies a miss because I had all the kids with me) with rounds of more drama before bed. Andrew was working again so Mondays are always going to be more dramatic as I really do only have one pair of flaming hands!

Anyways, I was up and down all night between seeing to Nicholas, trying to sleep through Andrews bellowing snores (ARG!) and just trying to breath. He is away over night tonight HOORAH! I luvs ya mate I do need to get some sleep ya know

I have hardly spent more than 10 mins on line until now so I will catch up on blogs and communities later today for now I have to go see to lunch before the Andrew gets back with Nicholas from swimming. So much to say, so little time but I am sure that is a relief to some haha!</
