Having Fun with Acetate

Morning folks.....I had a real fun class on Saturday at The Papeterie with great crafty girls...lots of fun...coffee and chatting along with a little bit of the crafty stuff added in...a big thank you to my lovely buddy Alison for the flowers and what a lovely surprise when Esther who follows my blog from York just happened to be on holiday in my neck of the woods and turned up for the class...don't forget to e-mail me Esther to arrange for our meet up at Harrogate....yes isn't it exciting I've booked my train ticket and a bed for 2 nights in a cosy hotel...the old Crafty Girl is coming to GNPE....it's been a while and I am so looking forward to meeting up with lots of my crafty buddies again at this great show.   Batten down the hatches Sue and Julie.
But back to the class...playing and having lots of fun with Alcohol Inks...Acetate...Timmie stamps and stuff....how come I was the only one who got mucky despite the fact I wasn't making the cards....

and here's some I made earlier

and didn't they do well....gold stars all round...
Looks like it's going to be another flying by the seat of my pants week...the crafty list is never ending but hey what's new....today I have a Fiskars Project to do with a Christmas theme...perhaps I should put on a Christmas CD...get The Furry Boy to don his Santa hat to get us in Snowflake mode. Off to put the kettle on..look out the Fiskras goodies and it's Jingle Bells..Jingle Bells...Jingle All the Way.
And woohoo the box of Candi And Spellbinder Heaven from Craftwork Cards was waiting for me in the cubbyhole when I arrived home on Saturday...
but that's not the only incentive to nail the Christmas Project PDQ...Wimbledon starts today and Rafa is on Centre Court at lunchtime.  I'll see you all tomorrow to share more cards from my bundle of yumminess from The Ribbon Girl.
