 Hello my crafty friends, I think we're one of the few countries celebrating Mothers Day today so I'm sending you all crafty hugs from one Mum to another :-) and huge hugs to my bambinos for the gorgeous flowers and chocolates.  I've dropped H at work early doors and Ols and Sophie are off to the Albert Hall, London to see Amaluna by the Cirque De Soleil.  If I'd have realised I was booking on Mothers Day I'd have booked another ticket and gone along with them as a gooseberry lol!!!!  When the boys were small we booked to see them perform Saltimbanco in Birmingham.  They really didn't want to go, thinking they were off to see a traditional circus, but after much protesting we bustled them into the car and headed off the Star City to watch a performance they have never forgotten.  It was the most captivating thing they'd ever seen so Oli was really chuffed when he opened his tickets at Christmas.  So that leaves me with oodles of time today to fi...

Morning, and Happy Mothers Day to you.  I'm 300 miles away from home and my gorgeous  bambino's but had a lovely early morning call from Ols wishing me a happy day which was lovely.  We all had a fun day yesterday at the Cornwall Papercraft Show.  Now in its third year, Ruth and her ladies had done a grand job organising the event.  Lots of crafters called by to browse the stands and many joined in our make and take sessions.  Ladies thank you for all your generous donations, we raised a total of £81.00  for the South West Chidrens Hospice .  Here's a few pics of us all crating way on our Time to Flourish Decorative Frames.   Ruth joining in the Make and Take session Karen from Total Papercrafts  Ruth, her team of ladies Karen from Total Papercrafts & little old me :-)  We finished off the day with drink and a little piece of cake!!!! it was scrummy............

......... where did that weekend go.  Months in the planning, weeks in the prepping and two days of fabulous company and crafting has just flown by.  Here we all are with (well nearly all of us) with our Time to Flourish Seasons in Time Album sets.  We constructed, painted, stuck, snipped and inked our way through the weekend, used oodles of gorgeous Graphic 45 papers and had a ball. We each chose our birthday month for the papers on our stands so they all looked different.  Ladies it was lovely to see you, thank you for joining me and enjoy adding all your photos to your albums.  Hillary thank you for my swish pink apron and Sylvia thank you for the two gorgeous shops you'd made. Here's a few pics taken over the two days.  If you'd like to make the album set yourself, the video led on line workshop and project sheet are both available from today on our webiste along with the Folio Album stand kit designed to hold any four of my folio...
