Good morning and phew, its Sunday. No rush to get dressed nor showered, I feel as though things are a little more relaxed on a Sunday morning. I am sure I cant be the only one.
I can't quite believe how quickly this week has flown by. Today, I'm easing into a slower pace and soaking up some quality time with family. I've made a little promise to myself, Sundays are now my day. A whole day with no plans, just time to see loved ones, potter about, and do whatever makes me smile. Its a bit of a brave move.
I'm kicking things off by clearing my desks, I have one in the study where I handle all my correspondence and creative planning, and the other is my happy place, the craft desk. It shouldn’t take too long, and funnily enough, it’s actually something recommended in a training programme I’m doing. Fresh spaces, fresh energy is the motto.
What a week it’s been, wonderful, but non-stop. On Tuesday, as you may know, a friend and I headed off to a Stampin’ Up! event, which was so much fun. Wednesday was all about getting creative with some kit making in the afternoon and friends over in the evening disucussing the new Stampin' Up! joining promoation and Thursday turned into a whirlwind of visitors and a trip to the hairdresser (which I thoroughly enjoyed).
Friday was a trip to our local Insomnia cafe with a lovely group of friends but the two hour visit turned in to four hours, opps and yesterday was an absolutely brilliant day out in a place called Port Sunlight. I have to say, it was the best craft show I’ve been to in years! The stalls were top quality, and while it was busy (with a bit of enthusiastic elbowing), it became much easier to browse in the afternoon as the crowd thinned out.
What really made the day, though, was the company, I honestly can’t remember the last time I laughed so much. So if you’re looking for a craft event to pop in your diary, I highly recommend the Port Sunlight Craft Show next October. You absolutely won’t be disappointed.
Here is the second card that I should have made at the Stampin' Up! event. Mine is still a work in progress so here is a picture of the designers card
We used beautiful Stampin' Up! two-tone cardstock along with the adorable Sending a Little Cheer bundle which includes a stamp set and three mini punches. I can already tell these will be super handy for the festive season ahead.
One of my favourite traditions at Stampin’ Up! events is swapping cards with fellow demonstrators. It’s such a lovely way to share inspiration and connect with others, I really look forward to it every time! For my swap card, I decided to recreate an In Color design I had made with some friends earlier this year. It brought back such great memories.

Well, I guess I ought to be making a move. I really do appreciate you reading the blog today and it would be wonderful if you left me a comment. Wishing you a smashing Sunday. Tracey x
