Edinburgh here I come

Cafe Parisian Recipe Box Clare Charvill Graphic 45
Evening my crafty friends, how are you?  Long time no typie typie from me lol!!!  It's been a right old topsy turvy week here.  After some time away with H we've been shopping for last minute things for him to fill up his new room at Uni and packing up boxes for us both to head off in different directions........ Him down south and me up north!  
I've literally just finished the Recipe Box project for Saturdays class at the Edinburgh Trade Show. . Papers arrived here this morning but by the time I'd packed up the orders off the website, gone to the post office, the chemist, Tesco's, the doctors, then a trip back to them all to try and find my bank card that had mysteriously vanished somewhere between them all ( I didn't find it) it was gone 5pm before I sat down to take a good look at the papers and plan the project. They're from the Cafe Parisian collection by G45. Made me uber hungry while I was snipping them up - could have killed for a cake lol!!!

So tomorrow I head up to bonnie Scotland for the Edinburgh Trade show, and a few classes and am looking forward to meeting up with everyone coming along to the show and my classes. If you there, and fancy joining me for the short workshop running on Sunday and Monday afternoons call by my stand and book early. Here's our mini project - do you think we can make it in an hour ish!!!!!   

I've combined  the ATC box (one of my products), Claireeeee's magic tape (as it's been called) and the new St Nicholas papers from Graphic 45........  into this cute Christmas themed project ....... love this little box.  Just perfect for 6 x 4 picture cards ....................  
Well I think that's all for now, I've got a few more things to sort before heading up the stairs so nighty, nighty, thanks for calling by and enjoy your Friday :-)  Catch up again soon x C

    1. Hi Margaret, how are you and thanks so much for calling by. Great to hear you like the latest creations. The trip up to Edinburgh took seven hours, the last bit in right wet weather so was a bit skiddy on the motorway. Decided not to take the scenic route in off the M74. lol! Room is fabulous at the Marriott :-) Class starts at 10am in the morn so I'd better get off and get some sleep. Have a lovely weekend. Hope that back of yours is holding on up - sending you crafty hugs xxx :-)

  7. Cancel that card immediately! So sorry to hear that you're having to deal with this issue. Nice G45 paper collection! Getting your young adult off to college can be a challenge. Just wait until you can "hear" the silence of having him gone. Thinking of you!

    1. Hi Martie, it eventually turned up but it took a son to trace it. Was in a right panic. I was only thinking about the silence thing on my way up north. He came home last night shouting at the top of his voice tanked up with Jack Daniels after a golf day with his dad. 7 days to go lol!!! I'll miss him loads though :-)
