hellloooo and good morning.  What a start to the day.  Up at 5 out and back by 6, back out at 8 and home at 9.  Boys delivered to work and college and now my day can begin.  
I do love Graphic 45's dark colour palette and although I'm not a cat rather than a dog lover, I really love all the imagery  in the Raining Cats and Dogs collection and the colours are just up my ally lol!!   This is the fourth of the Folio albums I've made using my basic folio template, and the one I'm running a workshop on this coming Saturday at Pink Tulip. Looking forward to seeing you all if you're coming along. I think there are still one or two places left if you fancy joining us too.  The contact number for Sheila and the shop is 01527 852052.  the project sheet for the album will be available in my shop from Monday 10th November. 

I'm also running an evening workshop on Friday 14th November at Daisy's Jewels and Crafts with Wendy & Jeff or is it Graham lol!!! We're making the lovely Christmas Sleigh and baubles below.  If you follow me you may recognise the template. I've used it a couple of times over the last year or so.  It's one of Sandra's Templates and can be bought from The House of Zandra.   If you'd like to come along and join us and make your own festive table decoration give Wendy a ring on 07779 110813

The winner will be announced here on the blog on 30th. That gives me time to pack it up and post it off to the lucky winner in time for Christmas. 

If you fancy coming along to a workshop next year you can find all the venues and dates booked so far over on the Workshops and Events in the UK page of the blog.  Here's the link.  There are more to be added over the next couple of weeks too.  Its going to be an exciting year and one that will see me on TV screens in the US too.  How exciting.  More about that as it happens.  
Well of to cut out more paper, pack kits and pick up children.  Loving my life :-)   Enjoy the rest of your day too, and eve if your off to fireworks. Take care  and catch up again soon :-) C
