Saturdays Christmas Class

Finally i have something to share with you, I really missed not talking part last Wednesday, But work took over short staffed in fact only me! any way that's Life (Think i hear a song in that)
On Saturday i went to a class organised by the Lovely Cal, Wow what a day we had, we had never met before but 6 of us descended on her, We had an amazing day came away with some great things and loads of inspiration. Cal is a Stampin up demonstrator, seen as i love that stuff it would of been rude not to host a party, cant wait for that now, Loads of lush stuff in the catalogue!! Ouch is that my purse.

We started the day Making a Wreath, Yes i did curl every one of those, but love the effect.

We also made a lovely box filled with candles, Loving this as a gift and see many of these being made and given out this year.

Bit of a dodgy photo, sorry taken as i rushing out of the door this morning. Cal served Lunch, although i think she was feeding a small community, Yummy though.
We were given instructions and stuff to make 4 cards, i managed 1, will get the rest done and one here And yep we got to keep the stamp set too, all i can say is Thanks you to team of great Girls who made the day Fantastic.

Will be joining in tomorrow showing my desk, as i did really miss it last week. Happy Tuesday hope its a good one.

A Mess..... In fact a huge mess, I went to Wrexham Art Stamps show on Saturday, what a great little show. I did have a little spend, Tim Holtz ink pads £3.50, oh why not i think i needed a couple!
Lavinia Stamps where there too, I have seen her before at Harrogate show so already have some of her stuff, But she does the most amazing backgrounds with a brayer, so Sunday I dusted off my Brayer got my ink pads out and started to get messy. This is obviously something that needs loads of practice, so down it went and i got my Tim Holtz inky thing out (Not sure of the Technical name) and wow loved it!

I though I might share a bit more today of my craft room, seen as my desk is such a close picture to try and hide the mess!

You can see my Ikea rails these hold so much stash, these are just above my desk so always ready to grab, My shelves hold lots of stuff, and i have drawers below these that hold things like my Martha Stewart punches and bigger stuff.
Have a great Wednedsay, and if you are wondering why i am showing you my Mess, Pop over to the lovely Julia, and desk hop around the world.

Something Different

Today i thought i would share with you another craft hobby i like do indulge in, I do Cross stitch i am not a wizz at this, i take my time put them down for weeks at a time so they always take me an age to do. But i do love the finished effect, So today i am sharing with you my recently finished cross stitch, its of an Elephant it needs washing and ironing oh and framing too, But am going to share anyway.

Have a great Sunday.

Good morning desk friends, We are back to work this week never mind pays for the next holiday, oh and more craft stash!!

Yes i'm in the mood for..... Christmas. I did a Christmas class couple of weeks ago and since then i have opened the christmas stash box and been messing about with that.

This is a Nitwit topper pack, love the colours all soft, will finish these off and have a nice set of cards to give.

This stamp i have had for ages, and decided it needed colouring with my beloved Promarkers i love the effect they give, did you see what Di was giving away as blog candy over at http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.com/ yes the new fine tips! and the lovely Di made every one a winner, how lucky are we, Thanks Di, cant wait to give them a try, i am a Promarker girl.
