Oh Mum!

Hello friends

Really...Monday, already! 
Weekends just whiz by at an alarming rate.
Pleased to say I had a nice time demoing in Coventry at 
Daisy's Jewels and Crafts.
Mum felt well enough to come along which was lovely for the long journey.


I'm not so impressed with Mum in this picture ...
can you see why?  Oh Mum!
I thankfully did not drink out of a Sizzix mug!

I was delighted to meet Elaine, a lovely lady who has followed my blog
for many years and has been amazing and supportive through Elliott's illness.
Both Elaine and her husband visited the store and had gifts too,
chocolates and cakes...I would show you the cakes but - yes you've guessed it,
they were gone before a camera could even get a look in!
Elaine blogs at Cake Coffee Craft, take a look here.

Talking of my mum, here's a card I made for her a while ago.
It features Graphic 45 Botanical Garden papers, 

I love those Blooms One!

It's rather summery card and yet right now it feels like winter is upon us,
definitely chilly at night.

Today I'm speed crafting again with samples and demos to take to the 
The Craft Channel studios, I promise you will get to see all of these -
I just need to wait a little bit longer! 

Take care friends.

    Very pretty card. Great to see your Mum was feeling up to a trip out with you. I'm sure she didn't use the Sizzix mug on purpose-he he!!

    Hi Christina
    Lovely pictures of your mum. It was lovely meeting her in the flesh when you were in Worminghall awhile back. Have been looking back at your blog as we're on holiday in Salou. Good luck with the Craft Channel. My word were being spoilt for choice now. Not to sure about having to watch Dawn again though.

    Lovely photos Christine of your demo day, so pleased your Mum was able to join you, she's looking really well. Never mind about the Sizzix mug, I'm sure she was given it rather than chose it!
    Beautiful card you made for your Mum too, I bet she loved it.
    Sounds as though you have a busy week ahead......this time next week, we have lift off! I can't wait for the new channel to start, please be on Freeview!

    Hello Christine
    Great photos of your Mum looking so well. Yes it is a pity about the mug but I sure she was quickly forgiven!!
    Love the card. The G45 paper is to die for (pardon the pun). I have this pad and will only use it for very special cards. It smells lovely too. Blooms 1 is also a favourite of mine.
    Enjoy your crafty time

    Hi Christine, Great piccies, glad you had company on your demo day. Fabulous that your Mum felt well enough to go with you. I chuckled at the piccie with the Sizzix mug. The piccies are fabulous.
