Convention Part 2 ....

One of the most exciting things about convention is all the sneak peaks we get of all the wonderful up and coming Stampin Up products and of course the prize patrol's and giveaways, we received so much stuff but we cannot show photo's until the products are released, we can however show pictures of projects that we make so I will get cracking and post some things soon :)


Convention ....

Phew what a few days I have just had at the Stampin Up! European Convention 2013 in Manchester :) The convention began properly on Friday and Saturday but you could sign in and register early from 6.00 p.m. on Thursday evening so a lot of us arrived on Thursday afternoon. I met up with a lovely group of ladies from my up-lines team and we spent the afternoon at The Christmas Market in Manchester. It was fabulous and covers lots of the streets and squares, there was a great atmosphere and some wonderful stalls, food and beverages :)

Halloween ....

Well this is a bit of a late post for Halloween, but if you could see the state of our house at the moment, you would understand. In the first two weeks we had a whole new central heating system installed which meant most of the floor boards on the landing and in three bedrooms were pulled up and there was dirt and dust everywhere. My sanctuary has been my bedroom (the only one they left alone) and thankfully our lounge has been left without too much damage so we can sit in peace in the evening and watch T.V. Towards the end of this work we found out we need a re-wire, so there has been little point in putting anything back to normal, we can't get electricians in until 2nd December so my hubby has decided to start on the kitchen "as there is going to be loads of mess anyway" !!! So it has taken me about two weeks to do this layout, purely because most of my crafting supplies are still in boxes (very depressing) I've used the Witches Brew DSP from the current seasonal catalogue and the coordinating Washi Tape....

I'd planned some different black flowers but forgot until I had stuck these to the layout :(
