A day in the office.

Good morning crafters
Well it's back to work after my retreat weekend. I will photograph my projects later and try to post them today although Amy Internet at home seems to have crashed.....see that's why I don't do technology!!!!!!!
I am spending the day in the office with Alison putting the April shows together and I will post the dates and times as soon as they are confirmed.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend, I met some great people on the retreat and it did me the world of good.
Take care
Love Melanie xxx

Time to go home :(

Good morning
Woke up to a frost this morning. I don't know, 82 degrees last week and now frost!
We have a final morning of crafting today before we set off back home.
I have to say it has been great to actually sit down and craft for two days without having to answer a phone or deal with paper work for Dad. I think it has given me a chance to really get creative. Some of the ladies have completed all the projects for the weekend... I however am still on the second. Maybe that's because I have to ink and doodle everything!!!!! I am really pleased with my TWO projects though, I will photograph them when I get home and post them tomorrow.
Have a good day
Love

A Crafty Day

Good. Morning
So far so good. Not got into any trouble yet,
We spent yesterday painting our blank Kaiser products, although I must say that the distress ink refills stain them beautifully so I have done that on mine. today we are decorating them so lots of time to get creative.
It is a very relaxed event and there are samples for you to copy if you want to but you can also be left to do your own thing which is great for me.
I will try and get lots of pictures.
Have a lovely weekend
Take care

Back and raring to go!!!!!!!

Good morning to you all
Firstly I want to say thank you once again for all your lovely messages of support. It really has been overwhelming but lovely to read them all and I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
Well, today I am back at work! There is still lots to sort out but I am starting all the prep for my April shows and I have some beautiful product to work with. We have brand new Stampavie stamps and Bo Bunny papers and embellishments. Hot off the Press, and papers from a new company to us..... My Little Shoe Box.
I can't wait to get all my stash out and emerse myself in it. I am sure many of you know how therapeutic crafting is and it will be lovely to spend the day colouring in.
Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and still managing to fit a bit of creativity in too.
I will post some sneak peaks soon
Take care and once again thank you.
Love to you all
