Cathy and I are off to Birmingham this morning for a serious business trip……
We will have to meet with our existing suppliers, and find new ones, and possibly meet with designers such as Dawn Bibby and Tim Holtz (yes, the man himself!)
What a terribly hard job i have!
Can;t wait to see all the new demos and products – will let you know what we find!
xx
P.s. one week left for swapping your albums…..

Hi, i’m back, had a great time and no i didn’t get a tan – that would take alot longer then a week!
I went back to work today and had the loveliest suprise this afternoon…. I opened a delivery to find the cutest papers i’ve ever seen!
Actually, thats not true because its alot more then papers, the embellishments are so so fab that i have to have them all!!!! If you want to take a peek before i buy the lot (ah, the perks of the job!) then check out www.craftyalley.com and look at “Homespun Chic” by Melody Ross.
What else????
I have finished my tags for Louise’s swap (www.myhuckleberryfinn.blogspot.com) and when i find my camera will post a piccy. I’ve almost finished Kristens album for the TWS swap and have just started Suzies album for our swap.
Suzie, if you’re reading this i’m only a bit late starting it because i keep changing my mind about the papers!
I will try and get some of my Suzi Blu art done, i’m WAY behind…
Thats all todays news,
take care x x x x x

Its Monday, i´m in Lanzarote, and i’m going home today!!
It doesn´t matter how much i enjoy my holidays, the day i´m going home nothing will do only to be there!!
The weather hasn´t been great for the last two days but before that we had gorgeous blue skies and HEAT…. they tell me its really cold again at home. We have climbed some amazing volcanos (fell on the first one, so i´ve had horrible cuts and grazes on my legs, very glam!!) drank one too many cocktails (that was definately the low point, i have no tolerence for alcohol, like two is one too many!) and had a really lovely time.
If any of you are ever here you have to see the caves, they are so pretty. There is an underground arena for concerts, the acoustics are apparently perfect there and because its on the way into a volcano its really warm.
Ok, i´m running out of time, tomorrow i will return all the emails and comments that i owe.
Byee!! xxxxxx

Girlies, i’m off on my hols for a week tomorrow and not taking a laptop so the blog will be quiet till Tuesday week.
I am officially the least organised person ever! i’ve spent the last hour looking for the flight details, which i found in a crumpled mess at the bottom of my handbag. At least this means we can go! in my suitcase i have….. a sketchbook , my pencils and a camera. I’m not a really a big fashion fan, but even i think clothing of some sort would be an advantage!
Its 24 degrees there, its so long since we had warm weather that i can;’t even remember what i used to wear.
Ok, i really have to pack something.
Hope you are all well, and i’ll post photos when i get back
Muchos hugs xxxxxxxxx

There has been a slight change to the February swap. Kendalle, who is Soooo talented at this has joined a swap for teenagers. I hope you have a good time with that Kendalle.
So, that means that poor Suzie is stuck with me…..! x

Exciting news girlies….. the Scrapzville swap is now intercontinental!!
Kristin who is in New York asked if she could join in, so welcome to Kristin and also to Donna who is in the UK.

Dee – Cathy
Robyn – Alyson
Kendalle – Suzie
Clare – Gemma

Anne – Kristin
I will send out the email details of your partner to all of you, and the theme for February is…
