The brain was crafting but the body was ironing....

I tried... I REALLY tried.... to get crafting this weekend. Went with my mate SarahK to the GP on Saturday; met up with Sandra and made new friends Wendy & Zoe! It's slightly disturbing when you walk into a craft room full of our great crafting ladies and they all say "oh God, here they come!".

Bought some lovely goodies - mostly Christmas papers and just one stamp which I was really hoping to play with yesterday. But, as is always the situation, ironing, taxiing (kids), dinner etc. had to come first, so I didn't get to sit down and play until about 9.30pm last night. I'm still experimenting with my new Prismacolour pencils - I think I need another lesson (Kim???). I know that as soon as I've mastered them I'm going to use them a lot; I don't mind water colours but these pens really do bring the image a different dimension.

So no cards this weekend but I will attempt to get some done tonight! Really looking forward to CUL's Christmas Demo Day this Saturday - SarahK and I are making the tea! Paula, heard you've not been very well - hope you're on the road to recoveryx

It was great to see everyone again on Saturday. It is a shame we live so far apart. Hope to see you again soon June. Wend xx

Hi June thanks for your comment on my blog. Didn't realise you lived so close! I am an ex-NHS employee and used to work at ESH, small world isn't it?!

Hi June,

yes I am feeling much better thank you. Looking forward to Saturday hopefully it will be a good day for all!

Know exactly what you mean - I spent a whole day at the exeter craft show on Saturday, but have I had a second to play with all my new goodies? NO!

Blinking housework!

Loved your Golden Wedding card. I have got to make another one for November.
