Hello

Well it's been a week back in England and feels like I've never been away. A hectic week playing and creating with my lovely Stampin' Up! Goodies. Oh I so can't wait for our new catalogue to be released. Had a good bank holiday at a local church craft Faye, met some lovely people to share my love of Stampin' Up!  with xx 

May is for MEMORABLE!

Hello and welcome to my first blog, and what a way to start as I sit composing this in Philadelphia with one Crazy Penguin. My wonderful husband sent me here for a ten day trip to meet a Stampin' Up! friend who I met over the net.  We've had a ball crafting and I have learnt so many new techniques and had so much fun and some sightseeing too.  We have been to Philadelphia zoo, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and yes I did do an impersonation of Rocky but I didn't make it to the top! Had a personal tour of the local police station by the Chief of Police, and thankfully didn't get locked up. Wow, life in their police force is so different to ours. Shopped lots for family and friends back home too, and lots of goodies for that very special little man in my life, my grandson Hayden. I've also been lucky enough that my son Dan has been so thoughtful and Facetimed me almost daily so I have not felt as homesick as I might have been if it wasn't for the wonders of technology. 
I hope you have enjoyed my first blog and will revisit me to find out more.
Bye for now
