Oh Dear....

Got a bad case of the post holiday blues today!! However have managed to keep myself pretty busy and the day has passed quickly. Today is my dearest, dearest friend Karen's birthday.... so have spent this evening making her a card and wrapping her pressies! I am going round there tomorrow night for pizza and girly chat :) Having said that....I really shouldn't be eating pizza as I have put on quite a bit of weight....ah well....the diet can start on Monday (that way i get a good day on Sunday too!!!)

Here's another photo taken by the very talented Anita Mundt...

Love this one...how dreamy do I look?!

Have been sorting out bits and pieces for our crop today....I am teaching a layout class which I hope the ladies will enjoy. Just got the shop to pack up in the morning and I'm good to go! Our crop is just a short one, 1pm-4pm and the time just flies by!

Here's a sneak peek of the layout we'll be making....

I have scrapped another Anita photo!!!

Ok well that's about it for tonight....not very chatty! Will pop tomorrow with more layouts and cards. Have a great weekend all.

I'm back!!!

Ok I know that I haven't blogged for yonks but life just has a habit of getting in the way of things! And I don't want to bore you all with my ups and downs so thought I had better wait a bit before blogging again...

Lots have happened since my last post... got my pics back from Anita and they are just gorgeous :)

This is one of my favs....will bore you all with some of the others over the next couple of days!

Been asked to start contributing to Quick & Crafty! magazine again! I used to write for them pretty regularly but what with setting up the shop etc I just kind of ran out of time.So I am now armed with a list of deadlines and my first article is in the November issue.

Last week saw me sunning myself and partying on the gorgeous island of Kefalonia with my bud Kim. We had a ball and were heartbroken when it all had to end :( I managed to catch up with old friends and made a few new friends into the bargain too!


Kefalonia has a large English population and one of our old neighbours now lives out there...so no doubt we will be knocking on his door during the cold winter months!

Will leave you with a photo of the beach in Skala at night....

Will be back tomorrow with more news!
