We're having a baby ........ !!!!!

Good afternoon everyone,

Two Blog posts in one day, what's going on!? 
Well it's a bit of an historic day isn't it.  Kate's finally gone into labour.  Yes, it's the royal baby I'm getting excited about - not the patter of tiny feet arriving here! (Phew!  - you can breathe again now Stephen, just in case you saw the  post title and thought there was something I wasn't telling you!)
Let's hope he, or she, doesn't take too long to arrive I can't get anything done - come on Kate, Push!!

What a busy weekend I've had, and I've loved every minute of it, well maybe not the flight home.
I spent the weekend in the UK, down at Indigo Blu HQ for the Open Weekend.  It was a huge success and I think everyone that came really enjoyed themselves.  Thanks to everyone involved, the Indigo Blu staff who were absolutely awesome - Diane you're an angel, thanks for looking after me all weekend, making sure I was fed and watered.
All the ladies, and gents, that came to see us, thanks for making the weekend such a huge success.  And of course a mahoosive thanks to Kay and Alfie for inviting me over to demonstrate.  I was so nervous to begin with (it had been a while) but I soon settled in.  It was so nice to have the DT all together.

Here's a little look at my corner of the workshop area ........ 

I must confess it didn't stay that tidy all weekend ......... we had fun though.  It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it!

Dates for the next Indigo Blu Retreat have been released, and also a number of 1 day workshops with Kay.  Check out the Indigo Blu website for full details and cost etc.  Don't leave it too long if you want to attend, they're booking up fast!

I got a nice surprise too when I got home.  Hubby had got a chinese take away, there was a nice bottle of red with my name on it, but that wasn't it.  While I was checking through my Blog list, catching up on what I'd missed all weekend, I found that I'd been ShowCASed for my Shades of Grey entry over at LIM - whoo hoo!!

I love this Blog Challenge, it's just a shame I don't get the time to enter as often as I'd like. It's definitely on the list this week.

Well, there's still no news from the hospital, and I really must get back to the old craft room, even though it's like a sauna in there at the moment.
Join me again tomorrow (not too early though), over on the Craftwork Cards Blog.  I'll be burning the midnight oil to get my project finished for you.

Thanks for popping by today.  Enjoy the rest of your Monday.

Cheerio for now.

Monday again!

Good morning,
Happy Monday everyone.  A big Hello to my latest followers too - welcome aboard.  It's nice to have you with me.

Hope you all had a nice weekend.  Mine got off to a lovely start, I was ShowCASed over at Simply Less is More  - Whoo-hoo!  It's the first time and I'm so pleased.  LIM is a very popular Blog Challenge and there's always sooo many stunning entries every week, so to be chosen for the Showcase was a big thing for me.  Thank you so much Mandi and Chrissie, I really appreciate it. 

ShowCASed July 2012

Not sure what's going on in the old craft room this week, there's still quite a list to work through .... Tim's Tag still needs doing (MUST do that this week), and I have to make a special Christening card at some point.  There's Challenge entries to do, and I really need to get my teeth into the scrapbook I'm supposed to be doing for Lauren.  It's taking me ages.  It's my first scrapping attempt and I guess the fact I still haven't sorted out a new printer isn't helping - I need the photographs!
I've got new Craftwork Cards goodies to play with, plus, one of my purchases at the weekend was a dictionary.  Had to pick one up in town after searching high and low in the house. There must be one here somewhere, but could I find it.   Found one in a cut price book shop - 'pocket dictionary' it says on the front.  Someone's got BIG pockets if they can fit this in - it's the size of a paperback, and twice as thick!  Gives me lots of space though.
Whatever does she want a dictionary for?, I hear you all say ........ well ......  it's going to become an  Altered Art Dictionary ..........
Curious?  You can find out more about it here on Eileen's Crafty Zone.  I discovered it last week, along with Twinchies, when I found Eileen's blog (thanks to Maria). You need to go and have a look, there's some fab stuff on there. 
Eileen's also started a Facebook page for the Altered Art Dictionary, check it out here .   It's so much fun and the artwork on there is just brilliant. There's quite a few people doing this and  I can't wait to get started.  It's such a good idea, and it's great how you can just keep popping back to it when ever you like, there's no rush to finish it.  I might even get around to using some of those stamps I just had to have at the time, but haven't seen daylight  since the day they were bought - you all know what I'm talking about.

Oh, I also picked up the 2nd and 3rd 'Mr Grey' books while I was out and about, so maybe none of the above will get done, once I start reading these.  Ah well, it's a good job hubby's away for most of this week.  I'll be too busy to look after him as well. (LOL)

See you all again soon, with some craft hopefully

Enjoy your day

Linda
