Snow, snow and more snow

Hi everyone,

It's still snowing here and it's now over the top of my boots when I take madam for her walk. This was Maisie in the snow earlier in the year. It's even deeper now, nearly up to her tummy. The garden pots in the photo have now disappeared under snow!! Maisie just loves the snow and is at her happiest when catching snowballs or chasing after them. You then have to spend an hour de-icing her paws and legs as you can see from the photo they end up covered in her own personal snowballs. We've never seen such snow here for years. It's been fun seeing places we know on the news because Northumberland has the been worst hit.

Unfortunately the snow has stopped me from driving down to Peterborough for a show with Cupcakecrafting CDs tomorrow but better safe than sorry.

Keep warm.

Hugs,

Lynda

Rock Chicks Rule!!!

Morning all,

I'm busy prepping for a show on Create & Craft on Tuesday 23rd November at 10.00am. Rock Chicks and tractors are the theme of the day. Can't get into the character for Rock chicks (too old) but I can drive a tractor. We used to live on a farm when I was in my teens.

It's lovely demoing different products because I now get to use all of my crafting stash and gadgets such as my Cricut expression (love it).

My next piece of news is that I have been asked to demonstrate for Cupcakecrating on Create & Craft. The business has a new owner and they have asked me to demonstrate their new CDs. It's very exciting. I've seen the new designs which are beautiful so as soon as I'm done "rocking" I'll let you see some creations.

Have a good day.

Hugs,

Lynda

Rather busy

Morning,

I was asked late yesterday afternoon to do a show on Create & Craft this Saturday at 9.00am so it's busy , busy here today & tomorrow prepping for the show.

It's a good job Colin has a few days off as he is needed to entertain Madam, aka Maisie. They have just come back from the beach having had an eventful outing. Maisie lost 2 toys including her frisbee which is now bobbing about in the North Sea just off the coast at Blyth ( Maisie does not do water). They met our next door neighbours on the beach. Maisie loves Irene. They then encountered a huge gathering of Labradoodles and were invited to join them!!. Strange my walks are always uneventful!!

Card is a sample I made for the Smiley Elephants CD ROM.

Morning,

It's a bit on the dull side here today.Whilst I decide whether to take Maisie down to the beach for a walk I thought I would show you another card I have made from the Enchanted CD ROM.

The secret is out

I've had to keep this under wraps until the CD ROM was premiered. I was asked several weeks ago to make samples from C&C's Pick of the Week Enchanted CD ROM but now that the secret is out I can show you some cards I made. I was given a sneeky peek at 2 of the fairy designs. The images are stunning. I'll post some more cards later.

I am an Iris folder!!!

Where have I been I hear you asking. I've been busy prepping for TV shows and making lots of samples so apologies for my lack of blogging LOL.

I've been asked to do a TV show (Thursday 9.00am 30th September on Create & Craft) demonstrating an Iris folding kit. I've never done Iris folding before but was willing to give it a go so here is my very first attempt at it!! Not bad methinks. I have to say I'm now a convert. The kit features Burlesque ladies and as usual I've done something different with them so I hope you will watch and enjoy.

Hugs,

A card for my niece's birthday

Doesn't time fly. It doesn't seem 5 minutes since Samantha was a little girl and she's now nearly 21. It's her 21st birthday on August 31st so a special card is called for. I love Tumble Ted so I got my Cricut machine out and cut out the leaves for the card. I love my Cricut Expression and used the Walk in my Garden cartridge for the leaves and Zooballo cartridge for the branches. It was a really fun card to make. I hope she likes it!!

Maisie and I had a lovely walk on Blyth beach today. The tide was right out and there were quite a few people in the sea. We're tough up North you know.

Hugs,

Lynda
