I cannot believe I have not blogged since last week. Well, I can and I have so wanted to but not had anything to show so last night I sat down and started a card for the Lots to Do Challenge this week. Good job I looked as I almost did "Vintage" as my theme. Here is my "Springtime" card - cute (not really me) but a gentle session of watercolouring, using one of my friend, Jo's lovely images and hopefully I will be back in the crafting mood.
Worked the show at Harrogate this weekend, had a great time, I really do enjoy demonstrating Spellbinders dies (and I am not a diecutter at all). They are so lovely - had a ball with the Pendant dies until I realised we had sold out. In fact by Sunday afternoon the grid-walling was looking decidedly empty, we had run out of Cuttlebugs early in the show (had loads on order forms on Saturday evening - don't know about Sunday), Martha Stewart Punches went like hot cakes (they were really dem'd excellently).
I was really looked after by Tracey and have offered to have 'a sit down' at the NEC for a couple of hours if she wants me to do something when I go with my friends on Saturday.

Saw lots of lovely people, lots of my friends called to say hello and I had a big surprise. I knew Hilda from Lots to Do was calling and I was so looking forward to meeting her at last, but then Sam came and stood by me introducing herself. I've so wanted to meet Sam so she swore Hilda to secrecy and came to see me. What a lovely surprise and how fab to meet both of them.
Well, I must get back to my scrapbook with aunty's photographs from her birthday - want it ready for tomorrow and only done one page (yikes!). But ... before I go I must show you my bracelet that a friend, Annie, made me for my birthday.
There's so much on it, little keys, tiny flowers, tiny hearts and loads of gorgeous beads. Wish you could see all the delightful colours - some of them change in the light from blues to greens and vice versa. She had to make all the jump rings too - must have taken her ages to make this so a BIG THANK YOU Annie.
TOMORROW THE BLOG CANDY CLOSES - WILL MAKE THE DRAW ON THURSDAY AT LUNCHTIME WHEN MY FRIEND MARTIN CALLS BUT WILL CLOSE IT AT MIDNIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT.
Good Luck everyone and thank you to all my lovely followers, to everyone who has posted comments - it means so much to me - more than you will ever know.
