At my Friend Carol's

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope that you have had a nice weekend?

I had the most wonderful day yesterday! Spoilt rotten with kindness.

I spent the afternoon with my dear friend Carol Hutton at her home deep in the Ribble Valley.

Carol!

Not only were we chatting, crafting and having a jolly good time, but she is a fantastic cook!

I know I live with a chef, but hey her Butternut Squash and Garlic Soup was to die for. Not to mention her home made cakes YES CAKESSSS! mmmm Cake!

Carol's Craft Room

A small selection of Carol's "Stamin Up" Stamps

I thought her cake was so nice and she very kindly gave me some to give to Ewan, he had a little try said it was fab, but then I couldn't resist scoffing another chunk for my supper!

So what ever you got up to I hope it was a nice as my day!

Making Cards June 2010 "Flowers For Friends"

Good Afternoon everyone,
Just wanted to update you on the July Making Cards Magazine.

My article Flowers for Friends pages 27,28 & 29 ARE actually mine! I used fab supplies from "Stampin Up" the Vintage Vogue set of stamps, Inks and matching card Stock.

I have had a written apology from the Editor of Making Cards, I suppose these things happen sometimes, no point crying over spilt mike as they say.

Even though Michelle Johnson's picture is in the magazine I know they are my pieces of artwork which I still have to be proud of, I know Ewan is!

Count down to Keswick...........

Good Morning All,

I'm now on the count down to our holiday to Keswick. (right after my class on the 27th at Brighouse)

We adore this beautiful Lakeland town, it's one of the most tranquil places on earth, believe me after living and traveling all over the world, sometimes there's no place like home.

So looking forward to days on the Lake in our Kayaks, walking up Cat Bell's, and having our fill of Hungarian Goulash which one of the quaint little pubs in the town serves, just what you want after a very long walk!

We camp, and love it, just got a new very large tent, which I am so pleased with big enough for all our Camping equipment and perhaps a tiny bit of craft. SSSSHHHHH don't tell Ewan! Ha ha ha.

Anyway a week and a bit before we go, so better stop day dreaming and get back to work.

Hugs
