been at coast with kids

hi everyone,got some photos to share of a recent trip to the coast.The site we stayed on was called sunnydale,nice and quiet with an indoor pool for us to play in.This is the beach ,just a few mins walk down the lane,,its at saltfleetby in linc,s we just loved the salt marshes,just up the coast is donna nook which is famed for its seals and other wildlife.We will most definately be back next year sometime.

This was our first proper trip in our new caravan,and even though it was wet and windy ,we can,t wait to be off again.

anyway thats all the news today,hope to get my cards back from the last tv show so I will get the pictures posted asap and you can all see what weve been working with,ttfn michellex

busy weekend,still recovering !!!

hi ,just recovering from attending the northern papercrafts show on saturday and sunday.

I was very lucky to be invited along by once upon a stamp,I demonstrated the new a4 diecutting machine from joy crafts in holland.I really enjoyed using it and its so easy too,(I only had mine a week to practice !!!) The photos above are the calm before the storm,then the doors opened and away we went,so busy, none of us got time for lunch,but great fun.It was so lovely to meet people face to face,thankyou for all that popped by to say hi.

well thats summer over now

well the children are back at school,so my days are a little quieter. We were camping at granmas for most of the summer,in our new caravan.How lovely it was too,although not too much grown up crafting took place,we had fun with funky foam and beads etc.The garden looks lovely too after my annual weeding ,and planting spree.I will try to get some photos up asap hugs for now michellex

am i a tv celebrity now ???

some of my cottage cutz
samples for a previous
show

hello well did you see it? my 15 minutes of fame ha ha !!!!!. I can,t tell you how nervous i was ,i hardly slept on tuesday night,and with being up at 5am to be there for the show i was soooooo tired.I slept most of thursday.I really did enjoy it though ,and have to thank robert and gordon for letting me have the experience.Its so surreal,on day your at home,doing the chores and the next in front of cameras,and speaking to people you watch on telly.In the green room i met nancy watt,she was such a lovely smiley person,just so natural.Dave bradford came in looking like he had just woke up,saw him later all suited and filming an item to do with dog equiptment for ideal world.

so now its back to reality,loads of stuff to do around the house,hopefully i can squeeze some time in to make a few birthday cards and catch up with my atc swaps,as well as spend some quality time on saturday with my long suffering family.

we have harry the cockerpoo stopping a couple of nights as the boys are busy with the summer crafting show in doncaster,so if the rain holds off we can have a nice walk in clumber park or somewhere. Hope to get the photos sorted soon ttfn michelle

Well i am back again,veggies watered,kids to bed,big brother watched,and red wine sampled.so back to blogging,here are a few of my atcs that have gone to various swap lately
