pick of the day

Hello my crafty friends
What a hectic Month June is turning out to be!!!!
A new grand daughter, a TODO launch and now a Pick of the Day on Tuesday and a tool shed on Sunday with a birthday party for Jack tomorrow!
Still it keeps me out of mischief.
Join me if you can for the POTD onTuesday.
It is a Brother  Scanncut Mega Bundle so if you have been holding back you may want to check this out.
Hopefully I will have a quieter few days the week after to make some new samples.
Fingers crossed.

My precious little Alice Rose

Hello my crafty friends
Many of you have sent lovely messages welcoming my new Granddaughter to the world.
Thought I would share today's pictures with you all.

Two new arrivals

Good morning
Well, what a week! On Monday morning at 1.52am my beautiful grand daughter Alice Rose Heaton made her entrance. I am beside myself with pride. She is so lovely and I suspect she will wrap us all around her little finger!!!!!!

My second arrival will make an appearance tomorrow at Noon.
I have the pleasure of launching TODO on http://www.createandcraft.tv/todo
It has been a pleasure working with TODO and to have four different techniques in one machine is great.
Please join me if you can.

All's well that ends well😊

Good morning crafters
It appears that the guys at Brother have already out out a new update V1.31 for the BSC after they learnt that V1.30 had removed some of the basic shapes.
 I have just updated my machine and we are back to normal....Hoorah!!!
Please spread the word.
Thanks

Update and basic shaoes

Good morning
It has been brought to my attention that when you update your BSC to V1.3..... Gosh that sounds like a different language...lol!!!!!
You lose some of the basic shapes. I don't know if this is a bug or not but I will call Brother first thing in the morning and ask the question.
However that are still available in canvas so you could always download them on to a USB stick if you need them.
Hope that helps

Hello Crafters

I have had a few people get in touch today to make sure that Matt and I are ok as there hasn't been any posts in the past few days.

Matt has been on holiday and I have been away on a course but we are both back now and I am working on samples for next weeks Woodware shows on Tuesday the 3rd of March so I will post sneak peeks later this week.

bless you for asking though....it's nice to know you are thinking of us.
