We're here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrived in Doncaster at 4pm after a 7 hour train journey. The journey wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be. The hotel was just along the road as it transpired after taking a taxi outside the train station. We checked in and then had a stroll round the town. Everything shut up shop at 5pm or 5.30pm not like Aberdeen on a Thursday night which is late night shopping until 8pm.

We had our tea in the hotel which was very nice.

Now relaxing until bedtime.

The alarm is set ready for tomorrow's workshop with Nancy and Stephanie.

Let you know tomorrow what we made and hopefully post some pics!!

Only 2 sleeps to go!!!!!

It's now only 2 sleeps until Lilian and I go to Doncaster. Have had my bag packed since last week................

I have all our documents ready for each part of our extended weekend............

We arrive in Doncaster on Thursday evening after a 7 hour train journey.............

On Friday we go to the workshops run by Nancy and Stephanie. Can't wait to see what we will make. I hope it travels well for the journey home as I have no room in my case for anything else.

On Saturday and Sunday we hit the craft fair where I am hoping to restrain myself and not buy too many items I don't need!!!!!!

I will see my friend Lynda Chapman when I get there which I'm looking forward too as I have not seen her since the beginning of March.

Looking forward to seeing a lot of the guests that are on Create and Craft who don't make it to the SECC. My camera will be well used. I am especially hoping to meet Nigel!!!!!

Well off to bed now and when I get up tomorrow it will only be 1 sleep to go!!!

Silver wedding card...

This is the Silver Wedding card I made to give to my husband tomorrow (10th). I used my new Serif Craft Artist software to design and print the card. I used a photo of us on our wedding day. I like this software for making flat cards. I have been asked to make birthday cards for the nursery in our school. The software has various digikits suitable for kids cards.

I also have the Scrapbook Artist software but not used it much. I still have a lot to learn to use it efficiently.

My mum came round today with a card and money for us to have a meal. Will need to book something.

NOT IMPRESSED with Crafter's Companion

After teasing us all week about the launch of the new Popcorn Friends Cd and Stamps on Friday. I have waited all day to place my order. Because I want to order from Beader's Companion and Crafter's Companion on my £50 voucher I need to phone them to do it.

Not much chance of that now until Monday seeing as they close at 5pm Friday and don't open again until Monday.

I order quite a lot from Crafter's Companion and this has really annoyed me today.

Has anyone else been disappointed with the way this has been done?

PS: At 6pm the email came in to say that we could now buy the items!!

Silver wedding anniversary!! Buy yourself something!!!!

10th July 1986

It's my silver wedding anniversary on Sunday and my husband has told me to buy myself something!! Well what do you think I should buy? Something for myself or CRAFTY items!!!With my trip to Doncaster coming up I told him I would wait and see if there was anything I saw down there that took my fancy. He hasn't said how much I can spend, maybe I will just ask him to give me some money!!

Cupcake crafting 'Garden Delights' Cd samples

CToday was the launch on Create and Craft of the new Cupcake Crafting Cd 'Garden Delights'. I loved making samples for this Cd as it was so colourful and sweet. I have added this Cd to one of my favourites and will be using it quite often I think. Below are the samples that I made and were on shows today. The Cd sold out half way through the 5pm show.
