Just chatting
Hi everyone
Well a much nicer day today weather wise. We can take plenty more of that, can't we.
Today I have had a very nice day out with our daughter-in-law. After a quick trip into Mold for me to sort out a new bracelet for my medi-alert bracelet we drove to Llandudno.
Yes, you are probably right in your thinking - I was visiting the Llancraft shop. I needed red & green cards & envelopes for some of my Christmas cards I will be making & thought they would be good value there - plus we would have a nice drive & lots of time to natter. Another item I wanted was those plastic A4 boxes for some storage - but they didn't have any & were expecting them in anytime. Oh dear that will mean another trip.
After that we took a leisurely drive back long the country lanes & stopped off at Tweedmill, just outside St. Asaph where we grabbed a cup of tea & coffee, then a look around the store. My that place has expanded since I first went there & they are building even more space. Hmm! can you build space? I think you know what I meant.
I had a comment from "Crafty Jo" about my statement in yesterdays post, that I would be asking you if you would like to make one of these books that I have become obsessed with - she suggested that I show you all a "filled" album to give you a better idea. She is right of course because it is always better to understand what you are making if you know how it looks - or might look - at the finish. (Oh! dear, that reminds me I must make samples of what you are going to be doing over the next couple of months). The album is something I had in mind for next year - so I have time to get it filled. Oops just remembered I haven't released her comment - will do that as soon as I have published this post. The thing is these albums are a bit like scrapbooks but in miniature - you are not using big sheets of 12" x 12" card & paper - which a lot of people find very daunting. Having said that the ladies at Mold II did a grand job last month. But anyway I will fill one & then you will have a better idea. All I have to do is decided what I am going to put it in it. Mind you I don't think that little album I showed you pictures of will be the one - that really was my trial run & I will probably keep it empty but use it for design ideas - so it could end up looking really weird - or just out of this world. Time will tell.
Tomorrow my workshop is not taking place as there is only one lady booked on it - I hate it when a workshop is cancelled - I feel sorry for the person who wanted to take part & can't. But it isn't viable to run a workshop for one person. I have another one on Wednesday which is going to take place as there are already three ladies booked on it, & it is a rubber stamping workshop - using Clarity corners.
There you have it - a run down on my day - I hope you have all had a good day as well. Back tomorrow possibly with photos of cards made. Possibly another album - no perhaps not - better finish the second one I started which is going to be completed. Haven't put a post on my other blog yet - possibly tomorrow.
Night night.
