A Lovely Day in London

So today, I was back in London where I met Emma for lunch and to visit the Progressive Greetings show. The show was fun, quite small but very interesting to see all the brands of cards under one roof (think a visit to a massive Clintons Cards!). I think I'm allowed to say, that recently I was approached by a card company to design a range of cards for them, I thought the show would be great market research seeing all the different trends and what is out there already! I've already started testing the waters somewhat by making a few sets of cards for my Etsy shop to see what proves popular, at the moment I only have the 'Save the Date' ones up...

 

 You can view all the sets in my Etsy shop here - more coming soon!

Then we went for some lunch and of course a bit of a gossip and cooking up some plans ;o)

Tomorrow I have another day in London for some meetings - exciting!!

Firstly I have to say what a record number of entries we've had for the Colouring Challenge this week - obviously not too surprising considering the lovely prizes up for grabs!! (Thank you Letraset) If you haven't entered yet what are you waiting for?! Pop over now and take a look :o)

Secondly, I did of course promise you a freebie download today and I'm not one to go back on that promise, so here you go, a set of 3 Spooky Halloween Tags - just click on the image to download

Please send me the links to your makes with them or enter them in the upcoming challenges - we'd love to see!

I've been working on a new product that I hope to launch in November - I'll have news of that for you soon!

Yesterday we had the lamb, I have to be honest I wasn't keen, I had two mouthfuls but heavily disguised the second one with mustard, its all weird and icky - I'll stick to chicken thanks! So today I decided to have a go at cooking, anyone that knows me knows I'm not remotely domesticated despite my mad daydreams of floating round my kitchen in a Cath Kidston apron whipping up cakes and pies a'la Nigella the most I can actually manage is some toast or maybe Super Noodles if you're lucky! I get bored of waiting for stuff to happen and then get distracted and it invariable burns - hey ho. So tonight was my chance to prove I am in fact a total domestic godess and..... I blew it! It was edible and didn't have us rushing for the take away menus as many of my other attempts have but OH very tactfully said he would go back to cooking tomorrow *sigh* its for the best.....

I did end up giving in to temptation on QVC yesterday but just for one pack of Kraft card which was less than a tenner - hardly a splurge is it! LOL. I'm sooo in love with Kraft card at the moment - I'm in the process of whipping up a bunch of kraft goodies especially for my Etsy shop :o)

Finally please could you pop over here and rate this video a '5' this is for such a good cause 'A place to bark' run by the very talented artist Bernie Berlin, she rescues and cares for so many dogs and is such an inspiration - how I'd love to be surrounded by dogs and art - I'm halfway there! Just need more pooches :o)
