Good morning. Today is all about catching up and I do have quite a bit of it to do but I will only get through what I can and not worry about what I leave.
First of all its the blog, as I have said before, I love doing this each day but find myself wandering off to do something else well, lets see how I get on over the next week.
We returned home last Saturday but it was a really long day. We had a very big delay at the airport. It took 19 hours to get home and whilst it was an epic saga, it didnt bother us, we just got a bit fed up and stiff from all the waiting around. The cause of it was due to the cone of the plane (the very front bit) struck a very large bird as it came down to land. It wasnt just a little bump either, the nose was badly dented and the plane needed 6 hours of safety checks. To be fair, it is exactly what you want when travelling at 30,000 feet. To add to the drama, our seats got shuffled and we ended up in row.... 13. Yes, really. When we arrived at Heathrow we discoved that some of the tube lines were having engineering works so it was a bit of a treasure hunt trying to get across the city on a busy Saturday evening with all the shoppers.
On the plus side, we experienced a Saturday night in The Big Smoke with a lovely meal in a very crowded put. East Midlands Railway can through for us like heros. We had missed our train connection but a wonderful lady (Rita) at the EMR office took pity on us and swapped our expired tickets for the next available train. An absolute legend.
After all this, I still havent caught up on lots of things and my to do list is just getting longer and longer so today, its time to do as much as I can.
I have had a few deliveries of Stampin' Up! goodies whilst I have been away and they are all sorted now so its just finding homes for everything.
Tuesday was an exciting day. Myself and a lovely lady in my team took ourselves off to a Stampin' Up! event not too far from our home town of Derby. Well, we got stuck in traffic at the top of my street and it continued for well over an hour. Bumper to bumber for miles and miles but we made it with less than 5 minutes to spare. It was a really nice day, we learnt quite a bit, had lots of crafting time and made some new friends. I had forgotton how nice it was to go to something that was organised for you, I need to look for more of these events.
This is one of the cards that was made. It was created by a fellow demonstrator, Sara Sayers and its a great technique of stamping and then trimming card to create this wonderful layout. The stamp set and punches that were used are called A Little Cheer.
We stamped on to the Two Tone Card and the presents were fussy cut.
Here are the details of the stamp set and punches. I cant wait to get a little more creative with this set.
We are having a cuppa, card and a chat tomorrow morning if you fancy coming along for drink or making a card or just a chat and see what we get up to.
Thank you so much for having a read today. I do hope to be able to catch up with everyone who is local to me very soon. Please do feel free to leave a comment or two, its so nice to read them. Tracey x
