And so followed the most awful week where the coughing left me so exhausted...today is the first day I actually felt well enough to get up and dressed.</span></div><div><br></div><div> I have discovered a fantastic Australian artist called Tracey Fletcher King who has a project called cuppa with friends...she invites people to send her photos of their cups, however plain or fancy they may be and she draws one a day...it's a brilliant idea because everyone has cups or mugs around and it's a brilliant discipline to draw something each day...often it's the thought of what to draw that prevents us from getting our pens and pencils out...so here's my first drawing...I know that it's not perfect by a long way but it's a start and hopefully as the days pass and I draw more cups and mugs I will improve.....the shadow forming a heart on the side of the mug was what caught my eye and made me want to draw this one...<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4qTW725RL6_JvcWqu6YmsT7NAnLaSwVoK2SojBdw-LuahhM8SEYho4UowXA_W1VMlZzrU5uTG-agd43Ew0iBMfNKa6-TOwF5Nyup07lYCMfmRLVSoVMp1gYAKZvJgTLo_dIvDt5KwDw/s640/blogger-image--1122260001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I made an album from a Jaffa cake box enhanced by sprayed pages with pockets and loads of techniques. They learned about distressing, perfect pearls, gesso, Dylusions spray inks with and without templates.....add in a touch of cinnamon Stickles and a few embellishments and I left them with a lovely momento and a head spinning from overload.....six hours is a long time for those more used to a genteel two hour class where they make a couple of cards.....my workshops are anything but genteel but they are good fun.....<div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I loaded the car with the kits.....</span><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="margin-left: 1em;

Today, I have a day off as it is a fiesta here in the Valencia region - I also have the day off on Friday as that is Columbus day -woohoo! so time to try to catch up...<br />
<br />
Right, well what have I been up to in my absence you may ask??? now, this is where things become difficult. In July Colin bought me an i-pad - omg my new best friend - and I have been taking loads of photos with it but haven't yet found out how to put them on my here - but I will... so bear with me and I will be back on Friday with photos of the Christmas fair, Germany, the 25 cards for 25 euros on the 25th and all the Halloween stuff I have been making. <br />
<br />
Now I am off to empty out two bathroom cabinets that have been acquiring stuff for seven years - who knows what I'll find there<br />
<br />
Bye for now<br />

I am sorry I haven't blogged in so long but.....where do I start.<br />
During August the whole world...well that might be a slight exaggeration...quite a lot of visitors descend on Javea. I have girls from Madrid, Bilbao, Valencia who all have holiday homes here come to classes along with other visitors and the lovely girls who live here and attend classes anyway.....and then my youngest son and his wife...the ones who got married in Las Vegas last year...next month it will be a whole year already!!! were here for two of those weeks and of course I wanted to spend time with them which I did and it was lovely as they are such a beautiful couple...<br />
and then customers asked to have a rerun of last years fabulous Christmas market which we did on 8th September..... i made oodles of cards, banners, wreaths, boxes and other samples and over which a few days before I had major panic attacks over stuff not arriving..some of it still hasn't arrived!!! one parcel was at the shippers in Bexhill on Sea on 22nd August and I am told it might be here tomorrow 13th September!!! See what I am up against...<br />
Anyway, all went very well on Saturday...some of my gorgeous class girlies came and demonstrated and showed the lovely products we did have and loads of people came and so all ended happily...<br />
Later today I am off to Germany to a trade show. I am flying to Belgium where I will meet up with my great friend Tanya and tomorrow we will make the six hour drive to Germany where for the following three days she will demonstrate and I will shop!!! Can't be bad eh!!! Oh and we have been booked into a spa hotel...how good is that...<br />
On my return I most solemnly do promise to blog photos of all the goodies that those of you that couldn't be at the market missed. I am typing this on my iPad at the shop while I have a quick coffee break ...right gotta go<br />
Bye for now<br />

I looked at my blog and found I last posted on 28th June no less!!! so I will endeavour to bring you up to date in my hectic life... and so as not to overwhelm you I will post the month in bite-sized chunks... <br />
The girls asked me to make for them a summer holiday kit as I did last year and so out came the pizza boxes - new ones of course... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRfVAYnE1AlAZ5PrtPbZtruQ6wt5a9N7vDwOq62B4E6yaXuGz8gXg3Z3kdCQociY9jeKxsZvkSVaBow0Qi9nHHh1G8YcfQVTVWapSTi1Qtrmd9MNC3LkaPnvBAk5wEF6jbnTk9HIfuRg/s1600/June+2012+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" eda="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRfVAYnE1AlAZ5PrtPbZtruQ6wt5a9N7vDwOq62B4E6yaXuGz8gXg3Z3kdCQociY9jeKxsZvkSVaBow0Qi9nHHh1G8YcfQVTVWapSTi1Qtrmd9MNC3LkaPnvBAk5wEF6jbnTk9HIfuRg/s320/June+2012+001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
and in went sheets of 12 x 12 papers, matching stickers, cards, ribbons, die-cuts, stickles, a pen, jewels, foam pads, a cd case - in fact everything they needed to make all these projects and still have loads left...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

...and I had a lovely surprise this morning. The postman arrived with a parcel - didn't order anything methinks??? and when I opened it it was full of goodies from my lovely friend Marsha in Holland. Can you see the package made from an inside-out milk carton?? and even the jiffy bag was patterned...she is one very talented lady - click on Marsha in the followers and you should be able to view her blog...<br />

Having completed all the things on my immediate to do list - there are other lists - ie buy new sandals, book dental check-up, buy paper and carrier bags for the shop, etc,etc... I could go on...but the immediate things are all done and so I awarded myself a play date this morning.

Turns out it was acute lumbago<br />
.....Pain - no - it was agony!!! An injection - oh the relief - and loads of blue bullets and muscle relaxants and a holistic massage later I am upright and almost back to normal - me and normal in the same sentence I hear you say - well, as normal as I ever am!!! Lol!<br />

this is them triple embossing - not bad for 7 to 11 year olds...and yes that is a Versamark pad that Rosie is tapping her 0 into - just look at the colour of it - absolutely filthy but it still works just fine. I will show their albums in a couple or three weeks when they are completed.<br />

At the weekend I was browsing other blogs and I came across a challenge to use yellow, kraft and white or ivory. As yellow is so out of my comfort zone - I do not look good in yellow and have never in all the houses I have ever lived in had a yellow colour scheme - except in the current house where I inherited a yellow room, bought yellow bedding and thought mmm! yes this looks bright and cheerful. Anyway, I digress.....<br />
so I got out my spray inks and templates, drew a birdhouse on a large piece of card and set to work. I diecut birds from kraft card and flowers from the mop-up piece of card - well true crafters never waste anything - I put the kitchen roll from mopping up aside for another day...I die-cut a hanging sign and purely by accident sprinkled white embossing powder instead of clear onto the hanger part and it looks antique - happy accident eh!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUdcMo7dz61SZlLTT59zRKHV0hT_0b9VNbubVDPGY5-hbjGSGT2IjO9GWp6XPvuskDjac9KNVA9m8iy4lsoMB91Oa7N-whNZlzDesejU_eVuweycC3UvoVN7qRrWy62444sZZOJR00yQ/s1600/May+2012+095.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dba="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUdcMo7dz61SZlLTT59zRKHV0hT_0b9VNbubVDPGY5-hbjGSGT2IjO9GWp6XPvuskDjac9KNVA9m8iy4lsoMB91Oa7N-whNZlzDesejU_eVuweycC3UvoVN7qRrWy62444sZZOJR00yQ/s320/May+2012+095.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and die cut more birds and flowers, stamped a bit and stained some lace and seam binding, added a few embellishments and ended up with very messy hands but three very nice tags - so all in all very happy with the result...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvb_4VP3ge8aEQY0TlHkHDw01DovNTTENdDU6osSkDC6PYUTy5QlBY0i3j2y40o1iDJgBab1vIdZ9UuyJDnoi0PR2Mz_q0fz6Y7p7MGQuepJgos3c86VAujD-o2ov0djMvZGWb8sMn3g/s1600/May+2012+086.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dba="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvb_4VP3ge8aEQY0TlHkHDw01DovNTTENdDU6osSkDC6PYUTy5QlBY0i3j2y40o1iDJgBab1vIdZ9UuyJDnoi0PR2Mz_q0fz6Y7p7MGQuepJgos3c86VAujD-o2ov0djMvZGWb8sMn3g/s320/May+2012+086.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I stained a tag and pressed onto it a sheet of hammered card and took a print which became my main card front. A bit of blending around the edges, stained some seam binding, some stamping and a bit of embellishments and my card was ready - tra la!!!<br />

A week ago I had a few days away from the shop to visit Tanya in Belgium. She is psyching herself up for her breast rebuilding op next Wednesday and so we chatted loads and had a fun lunch and some shopping in Hasselt, a nearby town, along with an hour long visit to a huge art shop - 4 floors worth of arty goodies - the rock chicka looks good don't you think.....<br />

and back at hers she offered me the opportunity to make a page in a new "old" journal. Her neighbour Ludo had given her an old ledger from the 1960's and that was too good to turn down so armed with just what was to hand on the coffee table - its a big table!!! - a DCWV 6 x 6 paper pad, a box of watercolours, a case of coloured pencils, a bottle of red Stickles, albums full of Tim's stamps and a Coffee Archival ink pad I set to while Tanya dozed...<br />

I watercoloured, cut and pasted, highlighted, stamped, crayoned, stickled and generally enjoyed myself in her journal... the photo has turned itself around and I haven't a clue how to rotate it on here so hopefully you can make out what I did - if not look on facebook - it worked ok on there!!!<br />

Tanya also lent me a book - Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier - heavy going at first but ok once you get into it - and inside it I found a tag bare and unloved and so I had to change that - well I did didn't I - and so I took some coloured pencils from her pencil case lying on the coffee table and a Sharpie marker and she now has a doodled colourful bookmark and a reminder of me to boot. <br />

It has loads of pockets and tags and flaps and sewing and shrink plastic and a crocheted fastener. I hadn't even got round to putting it on here but luckily I had taken photos of it all. Presumably someone somewhere is enjoying it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUKefPn7kfd_cdY0tEWwMV5PrJBaJ_7TyEkaVFQnnVSrBKYFU1gSGH8b42bx_36oFWkOZ6OGzi1hyphenhyphen84ffdGxEgzZnwDF0sXX475QxQbR6bvRZ7hhakGnvRAO2W_uo3Pep9ObiAQnCgsQ/s1600/March+2012+089.jpg"><img style="display:block;
