Anyway, what is on my desk this week. Not a lot. I had a major cleaning up operation on my hands after the visit plus a new set of stamps from lovely Sam Poole at Creative Studios to play with.
I've also had to take photos of some of the projects that I'm teaching on the ships for my agent which means that I've had to set up "photography corner". So, this is currently one corner of my table with 3 gift boxes/bags on it.
The new stamps are fab. They're called "Up, Up and Away" and here's the DT project that I've posted on the Creative Studios blog where you can find full step by step instructions.
I've finally finished and e-mailed the project which is going to be included in the new Creative Expressions Project Book which is due out soon...very exciting! I still haven't heard about the design team so my fingers are still crossed (which is making crafting very difficult!!).
We're off to my step-son's wedding at the weekend. I'll be taking my camera and hopefully, I'll be able to make them a wedding book as a small present for when they get back from their honeymoon.
That's about it for today. Don't forget the blog candy draw, as soon as I get to 300 followers I'll pick a winner and get it sent out.
Until next week, have a happy, craft time and many thanks for your visit and comments.

I've just seen that balloon stamp on someone else's blog! Maisie moonshine, I think.... The tag is fab! Very Steampunk.
How lovely to let the teens have fun in your studio...I bet they don't get the opportunity to do that much freestyle in their lives...good for you!
I'm happy that you have a Cupboard as well! Mine has been a blessing as its in my living room. That white door has hidden a multitude of sins over the years!!!
Hugs, LLJ 45 xx
Sounds like it's been very busy at yours!!
Nice stamp set ... Sam showed it to me at Ally Pally
Good luck with the design team place!

Beautiful makes from the new stamps set, you really should be on their team. Pretty cards and makes for the cruises too. My friends 13 yr old crafted with me at the beginning of the year for a day, OMG did she make a mess lol!! Still, she had a lot of fun and that's the main thing.

OH I love the bag on the easel. That is gorgeous.
thanks for visiting me and you comments about the cat. Under that furry bottom was the card I was trying to finish for my brother in law. When I managed to extract it there was a lot of ginger fur stuck to it.

WOW WOW WOW I am so loving the stamps you used and love the tag you did. Also loving the bits waiting to have picture taken, they all so gorgeous. Glad your visitors you kids enjoyed the crafting. Happy Late Woyww :-) Kezzy xxx
Wow, you're busy. Teaching on a cruise sounds like a great time but I would love to do the Stone Henge thing, sounds so interesting. I played there when I was little. I've got photos of me sitting on the stones, don't think you can do that anymore. Your step son and daughter in law look fabulous for their big day and that bouquet is stunning.
Have a great week,
