Craft club

Just to let you craft gang know the club will be proceeding tomorrow evening, hooray. Come along with your craft to share, anything you are working on at the moment, or anything your stuck with. For anyone who hasn't been before the club starts at 7.30 at jubilee hall, cows lane, Canterbury (easy to find, head towards wincheap and its the turning towards homebase).

Tickles and the like

Hats off to the wonderful Wendy who stepped in not only to guest but also present the show today! poor Wendy, she was saying she was abit nervous, and then I go and have a coughing fit and leave her standing there. She did a brill job, and I really really loved her stamps as well. Haven't put my order in yet, but I want them all, so need to get sorted (bet I'm to late with the first set, they will have definitely sold out). I am lucky to have all Jaynes Adorables. What fantastic designs. It's been a cracking day all in all, apart from the coughs and splutters of course.

Now then, to all craft club members, I have sent an email, but just in case you haven't recieved it, I am not going to be able to make Monday - and my right hand lady Lesley is also unavailable. If anyone would like to be responsible for opening and locking up, and taking the cash then please let me know - otherwise I will have to cancel this one (should be on Monday). I have my sister and friends visiting from up North - and I can't drag them along!! It would be chaotic.

RADLEY

URGH computer is playing up again today, either everythings shouting, or all small case. anyhow, wanted to share this with you, a big thank you to Ann who is radleys mum. Ann wrote to me to say her very cute little puppy is a fan of mine - how cool is that. he actually likes my voice - i think it's because i sound like a northern farmer. anyhow, had to share the picture with you, he is so cute........

Thought I'd pop a few photo's of some of the work I did when I did the demo the other week - sorry for the quality of the photos, and also for the typing that follows, my computer is on the blink and is refusing to do capitals. so annoying. i was chuft i actually remembered to take photo's, and then actually remember to put them on here. hooray. it was of course, messy, inky and fab. lots of distress inks, and some fantastic stamps. had a play with grunge paper as well, which was great.

had a great day today, been out with my friend Karen for lunch, then came home and watched the rest of Barbara greys show that i missed earlier today. she's just fantastic isn't she, and such a brilliant person. love talented people who are down to earth and normal, and funny. it made me laugh when she stamped a beautiful frame then folded it to bin it - steph almost had kittens. i completely related to steph. anyhow, if you missed it make sure you tune into the clarity shows, they are on once a month - always Sundays, which is completely unfair as I'll never get to work with her - least i get to watch though. anyhow, need a mega early night as my brain has shrunk to a slight pea shaped dried out prune.

hope all's well with everyone, ooow, remember to get voting on the crafts beautiful web site, it's craft award time again and i keep forgetting to tell everyone on the box. get your votes in.

MacMillan Coffee and Crafting evening

Well we did it, thank you everyone who helped and came with cake and crafty goodies. I would have liked more people to come along, but we still did amazingly well - hooray. From the evening we made £409.20, we had £50 donated, and the craft club also contributed £140 - so the total raised was £599.20! Pretty good I recon. There's some raffle prizes left (we had such an amazing response there we would have been picking out tickets all night!!) - so I'm going to have a think of how to do it via my blog, and raffle the rest off for MacMillan as well.

It looked like a proper craft fair, which I was really happy with. We also had Olwen who is an image consultant, definitely someone I'll be seeing again!! And Natalie our hairdresser, who was really busy even doing hair cuts. The cakes were fantastic - and can you believe it, I had tooth ache so couldn't eat any!!! I was appalled. The timing is just wrong. All I could do was look on and drink my boring water. Oh well.

I'll share some photo's with you. So, it's tidy time. My car is still full of stuff that I need to find a home for again. Got ironing and packing to do again today. Also got my little Teela in the vets. She has a cough that keeps coming back, so she's having x-rays. Poor Dylan missed her awfully on the walk. He kept lying down to wait for her (he seemed to forget she didn't actually come with us - he must of thought she was making her own way there and meeting up with us! Awww, dog of little brain!). It made me sad. She'll get a good greeting when she gets home though.

Righto, lets get on with the boring jobs of the day. Again, thank you to everyone who helped, it was a lovely evening and we've had a request to do a Christmas Fair, so keep having a nosey at the blog for details.

MacMillan Coffee and Crafting evening

Wow, just have a look at some of the lovely stuff Vix sent me to sell for tomorrow! How wonderful. Got lots of stuff - thank you to everyone who has contributed. Come back to see more photo's of the event tomorrow. Need to organise my cards now, just allowing the day to completely slip away so I can have a mad panic! Great......x

MacMillan Coffee and Crafting evening

The evening is fast approaching. I'm going tomorrow to sort the tables and make a plan, then it's all steam ahead. I have to plan my cards for the mini workshop, do some leaflet drops, and sort more goodies to sell.

Started using my Serif programme, it's fantastic. Going to use CD's and stamps for the workshop I think, very tempted to do the beautiful Peter Rabbit Christmas stamps and papers - they are so lovely.

Had a great day today, my friends little girl Juliette was 3 years old - we had lots of pressies and a birthday tea with stuff on sticks (obviously!). It was really lovely, we danced and sang. Awwww.

Righto, remember the MacMillan Evening is on Tuesday 28th, starting at 7pm - 9pm. It's at Thanington Resource Centre
Thanington Rd
Canterbury, Kent CT1 3XE
01227 767 720

It'll be crafty and cakey, so bring lots of spare cash to raise money for this brilliant charity.
