Hardly any stamping for this card but I just had to use my Stampin Up top note die from the US. Fingers crossed we get these gorgeous dies in the October catalogue. Its a really simple card but I love the colours together. I have a deluge of birthdays in the next few weeks so I will try and post the pics of the card I make. I know I have been a little lax with updating my blog but it is an incredibly busy time of year and also I have been some what distracted with trying to get my son a school place. We had four appeals ahead of us in the next few weeks but I am so relived and pleased to say that we had a letter today offering him a place at one of his chosen schools – whoo hoo!! It's party time tonight in our house I can tell you, what a huge relief. So thank you for bearing with me.
Which brings me to my next announcement. Due to increased family pressure and less and less time I have decided to stop running my Padbury crop, the email I sent is below for anyone whom I missed or my email server decided not to deliver to –
I adore the crop and you ladies and look forward to seeing you all every month but I find the selling of the supplies the side of the business that I would rather quit. I also go to Olney and Milton Keynes once a month to sell my supplies, which means that some months I am actually working three weekends a month. Simon (my hubby) is working away in the week and weekends are more and more precious which is why I have come to my decision.
I could stop selling supplies but I don’t think the crop would survive without the shop. I will continue to be a Stampin Up demonstrator which means I can increase or decrease the amount of business I am doing depending on the demands of my family. Anyone who has a Hostess Club or Marker Club organised via me will continue to receive their goods in a timely manner either by post or I will deliver them myself instead of giving them to you at the crop.
I do hope that I will be able to have some more time and that I might actually be able to scrapbook for myself again and once things settle down I hope to be able to offer some scrapbooking classes etc and also attend some classes and crops with you all as a scrapbooker and not as the crop organiser.
DIARY DATE; I am holding a craft sale in Winslow Public Hall on 12th September from 9-1. I will be selling my supplies and Stampin Up products and you can also have a table for £5 and have the opportunity to sell any of your unwanted or unused craft/scrapbook supplies and keep the proceeds. We all love a bargain and it is a great opportunity to recycle our unwanted products. You can just come along and grab a bargain and watch out for the flyer coming out soon as there will also be other crafty ideas.
I hope you understand and I am sure there will be other opportunities for us all to get together in the future.
Oh such a wonderful card, I love the shapes. Kim
