June Stamper's 10 meeting

June is the first month for my new stamper's 10 group, a couple of new ladies have joined but most of my Ladies this is their 3rd or 4th group. When people join my groups part of my offering to them for their commitment is to provide them free of charge with all of the current catalogues. I know like me they read them from cover to cover many times over, some even tag their pages, and have systems of hi-lighting for the products they already own and wish list items to avoid duplication.

One of the questions I always get asked is where do you find your inspiration, well basically anywhere. even paint colour cards. I thought for the first meeting I would case a couple of the cards from the current Idea book & catalogue and see if they could spot them.

The inspiration for the Cased cards is on page 61 of the current Ideas book & catalogue.

Well I think that's all my blog posts caught up!!

Is it really only Tuesday?

Yesterday felt like it went on forever, well for a whole 17 hours in fact & most of those were spent on my feet, I finally sat down at 11.45pm last night & for anyone that knows me I don't do late nights very well.
My day started at 5.19 yesterday morning when the alarm clock didn't go off, Problem number one Paul was being picked up for a week of working away at 5.30.
6.30 am The alarm does go off for me to get up, To make an exam breakfast for Abi & to get ready for work myself. Abi had the last of her three English exams, despite making breakfast & smoothies & sandwiches & wash everything up I managed to leave in time to walk to work. When I arrived at work there was no lighting in the locker room, I couldn't find a thing. 
8.45 I went up to my floor & my boss was having Hysterics, she went into her office & when she turned the light on she got dive bombed by a pigeon, Nobody was available to catch it as they were all trying to sort the electrical fault, the rest of the day ran fairly smoothly despite spending a lot of it on my own.
When I got home I found a pile of clothes that should have been in Paul's bag....Oooop's
Very quick dinner & lay up for my new stampers 6/7.
Fortunately that went without a hitch, 11.45pm I finally reacquainted myself with the sofa.
