The Secret's Out!

Yesterday saw the first of Jane Dean's Secret 7 Technique Classes. Doodling was the order of the day where Jane dispelled everyones fears of the sometimes Dreaded but Much Loved Doodle!

Thanks to all who attended, it was lots of fun, even though the Ginger Beer might not have been everyones favourite :)

The next Secret 7 mission is set for Monday 6th July, book your spot now!

Sketch Examples and Today's Update.

Sue's Layout

Mireille's Layout

Louise's Card

Louise's Layout

"This Boy" using KaiserCraft Papers was by myself, although how I ever managed to finish I'll never know! Paper Shuffling - What me??!!

Thanks to all who came in today, we had a good laugh!

Louise studiously cracked off a fair number of cards and layouts, whilst I only managed one in between serving customers, making coffee's and chatting. I thought my paper shuffling was at a minimum today, but apparently not, so I was told - hmmmmmm!

Jane popped in just as the Prima Papers were going to loving homes. Well, we couldn't possibly not buy them eh?? - chortle!!

Do you know any Families?

(All things cardy and scrappy aside for the moment)

Who could benefit from .....
happykidsholidays is a non profit making association (lio 1901) aimed at supporting families with children and teenagers with Autistic Spectrum Disorders who want to come on holiday in France. They are registered with the French authorities, registration number W243002752.
The owners of all the properties or gites they feature have at least a basic understanding of ASD, Autism and Asperger Syndrome and are committed to trying to ensure your family has the best, most relaxing holiday possible, in surroundings that are suitable to your needs, and in a non-judgemental and supportive atmosphere.

The Company is run by my bestest friend from school, Emma. I'm dead jealous that she now lives and works "en France" Best of Luck to you matey ;)

A few new workshops are available to book including Fathers Day & Wedding Cards. Also a new series from Jane - The Secret Seven, starting later this month, this will be a fun one!
