Back home from the Lakes

Hello friends

I'm back from The Lakes...the very wet Lakes!
It rained...it poured...it was torrential but the scenery was still beautiful.
View from my hotel room.


And meet my new friend! 
Extremely friendly and thankfully not noisy first thing in the morning.


Had a lovely time demoing - thank you to everyone who came along
to Papermill Direct.  I'm back there in October to teach a workshop
so please look out for details.

Today's crafty offering appeared on the Spellbinders blog last week.
I created a tea light holder using the Venetian Gatefold die.


All the step by step instructions are here, it's fun and easy to make.


Wishing you all a great start to the week, heatwave tomorrow apparently,
best stay indoors and craft!

Take care friends.
