Good morning no lie in today as I have the lurgy and was so thirsty when I woke up. I visited the doctor yesterday and have the most awful medicine to take, twice a day but if it works, it will be worth it. He reckons I have a common cold but I am not so sure. I am afraid that my tickly cough will go to my chest but he says that chest/lungs are all clear. No antibiotics as they are not easily prescribed here, lots of posters everywhere you go about the perils of anti biotics. Fingers crossed a day of rest, staying warm and drinking only cold drinks (no hot drinks with a sore throat I have been advised), I will soon start to pick up.
I have to ready and raring to go next week as it is THE big day. Sophia, my daughter is getting married and I am so excited. I am hoping to be able to sort out so many things for her that I need to be 100%. Of course, feeling off it, I cant put my injection for my arthritis so it's going to be an interesting week, to say the least.
I wasn’t sure whether I’d already shared this card with you, but I don’t think I have. Another dear friend celebrated a birthday recently and this is the card I sent, hand delivered, so it arrived just as intended.
This style of card is absolutely perfect for showing off the gorgeous papers that Stampin’ Up! do so well. Just a few score lines, some carefully cut designer paper, a simple centrepiece and that’s all it needs. Even better when everything comes from one pack of Designer Series Paper, because you know it will all co-ordinate beautifully, ideal for a paper share. Oohh, I feel a paper share brewing and I’m already imagining a whole morning of making cards just like this at the beginning of March.
If you fancy joining us to create some of these wonderful cards, do let me know, We shall make them on 2nd March in The Craft Room, Derby and have a paper share to use too.
I think it’s well and truly time for a One Sheet Stamped Wonder Day in the craft room, don’t you? A whole day dedicated to ink, paper, creativity, and a good old natter sounds just about perfect.
This is your invitation to step away from the everyday, grab your lunch, and spend a relaxed, joyful day crafting with me on Monday, 2nd February. We’ll catch up, laugh, get inky fingers andcreate a lovely stash of cards ready for all those upcoming occasions that have a habit of sneaking up on us.
Once you book (and yes, booking is essential!), I’ll send out a suggested product list so you can gather your supplies and feel beautifully prepared. We’ll kick off around 10am and craft our way through until about 3pm-ish, no rushing, just creating at a comfortable, happy pace.
It’s the perfect excuse to dust off those gorgeous stamps that haven’t seen ink in far too long. Stamp on card, Basic White, coloured card stock, or even Designer Series Paper, there are no rules here, just possibilities. And those sentiments you’ve been saving for “something special”? let’s finally give them their moment to shine and make your cards really stand out. And if you’re more in the mood to simply create the stamped sheets to turn into cards later, that’s absolutely welcome too. This day is about crafting your way.
So pop the date in your diary, gather your crafty goodies, and come and join me for a day of creativity, connection, and crafty magic. I can’t wait!
