Candy and cheating!
Well at last I have done my blog candy and emailed the lucky winners - thank you for entering. I now have to try and get to the post office, next week is so busy.
I have got another pack of Blog Candy up for grabs - unfortunately I haven't got a camera at the moment, so can't pop on a picture - but there's a nice selection of papers and stickers up for grabs. Respond to this posting if you are interested.
I do want to apologise for the lack of pics recently - it looks boring doesn't it. Hope I'll be able to rectify that soon.
Now, cheating. Your going to shout at me. I have today bought Christmas cards!!! I know, that's very very naughty - but......here comes the reason (excuse), every year I intend to make cards, never get round to it, and then never send any out, so this year I've bought some from Oxfam (see, charity cards, good for Oxfam, especially in a recession), and I choose them with the strict idea of popping on a few embellishments - so I can do that thing that they do in the shops and say hand finished! At least this year I'll actually get some cards sent out, so I won't beat myself up to much. Next year, I'll start making them when everyone else does - January!

Sleep.....
isn't easy to do in hotels. It's been a terrible week, sleep wise. I haven't settled. Keep waking up, panicking that I'm late. Hate that. I need to have a real early night tonight - on the hot choc already to help! I've a really busy day tomorrow - well I've only 3 hours live but it's the launch of the Craft Madness event, mega reduced prices. It's just little me at 8am - no guest, so plenty of demoing (I hope), and chatting!
Early night and decent sleep essential - gulp!xx

Howdy
Just a quick post to say hello from my little hotel room. Need to sort out a pad up here, but somewhere I can bring my doggies - not easy is it. Hopefully have something to view this week, fingers crossed.
Had a good day today, our guests just brighten up any cloudy day don't they. Brill. The only thing I was disappointed about was not being on with Bev from Banana Frog, did anyone watch the show? I love Bev's stamps, and all her idea's. Her stuff is so fresh and different - if you haven't seen them then please check them out, they are worth collecting!

Have a look on there for your local stockists. I have some of Bev's stamps actually, when I get home from my shift I'm going to get some posted on here to let you have a look.
Righto, I'm off to go and carry on writting my envelopes out for my ATC club. Seeya later.xx

ATC club and Craft club
Hi folks. Well back to work after my 7 days off (7 days, how wonderful). It's a busy run now though, won't have time to think (can be a great thing at times can't it!).
However, just a thought, the ATC club is of course, still up and running. I'm in the process of writting to everyone so they know the change of address, but thought I would just pop a reminder on here:
L Pujol
P O Box 1027
Canterbury
CT1 9GW
Also, another thought, seeing as our Craft Club was such a success, I thought it may be a great idea if you fancy coming along, but don't have any transport to let us know. I can post this on my blog, and let the ladies know who already attend, to see if we can sort out car shares. Think this could be a great idea, and of course it's very green.
I have one lady who needs to travel from Deal - so if you are in Deal but didn't fancy driving in alone, then let me know, and I can swap your details for you. I'll be announcing the next date soon, just want to work out my work rota.
Bit sleepy tonight, so think I'll be good and turn in early.
Take care folks

The First Craft Club......brilliant!!
Had a great evening tonight. Perfect turn out - even in the nasty cold wet weather. How inspired am I! Got so many new idea's, I want to go and craft, but I'm being forced to drink the wine we didn't touch. Oh, the pressure of a crafty life eh. hehe.
I hope I will be able to have a play tomorrow, as I want to share some of the brilliant idea's I have got. But, just in case I don't get chance I'll pop on some inspirational blogs so you can see just a small taste of the fabulous talent in our club (okay, I'm just popping one on tonight, but there will be more).

Beautiful.
Anyway, I'll show more, and hopefully have a play. Thank you to everyone who came, it was such a good night, roll on January.

Quick reminder
I've been rubbish this week, I had plans here there and everywhere - but the time has flown as ever. I have managed to put up my Christmas decorations though! Hooray. How fabulous. Even got a little tree (Nicky said we wouldn't be able to fit one in the house, thank goodness they do diddy ones these days).
My friend Jenny is on her way down for her first visit, so I need to get some food on, but just wanted to remind everyone about the craft club on Monday. Here's the details:
Jubilee Hall, Cow Lane, Wincheap, Canterbury
7pm - 10pm
EVERYONE welcome - no need to book, or pay a deposit. Please, spread the word, really the more the merrier.
Minimal charge of £3 to cover the cost of the room and refreshments.
Please bring a sample of your work - not necessary, but thought it would be great to see what crafts we are all into, and it's a great ice breaker.
Bring something you want to share, or something you have bought and haven't got a clue about. It helps others learn, or you can pick the brains of other crafty folk.
There will be a Christmassy feel, so bring something Christmassy along, we have home baked mince pies on the list (obviously I'll just be in the corner feeding my face!!).
I'm going to start a stamp library, a minimal charge which will go into the crafty club pot. More idea's and plans are afoot!
Spread the word..........
For those of you to far away - there's always trains, planes and automobiles. Only teasing, I'm thinking of expanding the ATC club, so maybe a general craft club which ties in would be quite nice. That's another one in the "planning" stages.
Hope to see you there.

ps, only just read Blance has passed away from Corrie. I should, of course say the actress who plays Blance. How sad, she was a brilliant character and will be very missed - another one of the old favourites.
