It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

By
Hello there, have you got that Friday feeling :-)  I've been working away and listening to the radio today. Can you believe there are only 41 shopping days left until Christmas.   We have an 18th (Harry Baby's) and Ols' 23 to fit in before I can get into Christmas mode.  Have got a few pressies stashed away in secret places though.  Lets hope I can remember where when i go to find them lol!!  
We had a real fun workshop at Stoneleigh last weekend.  Ladies, thank you for joining me for a Christmas themed crafty day.  Was lovely to see you and your projects were fabulous.  Here's a few pics. 
 
 Sally even posed for a 'Mrs O' impression as she bought in the tea tray.  

Saturday night I headed over to meet up with Di and Toni, Mr & Mrs Tando Creative who were hosting a weekend Trade event a few miles away with the uber talented Andy Skinner and Michelle Webb.  Andy I hope you managed to find a secret space to escape to on Sunday lol!!!  Was great to meet you, Michelle, and everyone else I got to catch up with too.  Lovely evening and a great event.  Di thanks for asking me over. 
 
We only have 7 sleeps left until the last of my 2015 Graphic 45 Retreats next week at the Holiday Inn, Kenilworth.  I'm getting excited and really looking forward to meeting up with everyone who's coming along. I've spent most of the week designing, measuring, cutting out, writing and filming a new Christmas Carol album, our Saturday/Sunday project and the new on line workshop.  If you fancy making  it the project sheet and on line workshop will be available on my web site from 23rd November.  Loving these Dickens themed papers.  We have two places available due to late cancellations.  If you'd like to come along for a really crafty two or three days, click the link below for more info and bookings. 


Tomorrow I'm back at Scotch Lodge Farm, Northampton for part 2 of our Event Organiser workshop.   I love this project, designed with a file folder on the left, storage space in the middle and a mini organiser on the right (top pic) it's just perfect for so many different events we plan for or want to remember.  There's been a slight delay in getting the Event Organiser onto the web site but it will be available from 23rd November along with the project sheet that goes with it and the lantern kit. 
There's still a couple of weeks left to leave a comment on this months giveaway post if you' d like to be in with a chance to win a lantern kit. Just click the link below and leave a comment.  

Have a great weekend. look forward to catching up again shortly and thanks for calling by :-) C
