Well its back to teaching card making and scrapbooking Adult Learning classes starting from tonight. I must say I am looking forward to it, although the summer holidays seem to have flown past despite the miserable weather.
This week I have only three classes, next week depending on the amount of interest I may have four. This is in addition to the class I have with disabled adults.
As always hubby is worried I am taking on too much but as I tried to tell him as long as I remain organised I should be able to manage.
I have not mentioned it here on my blog but I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis over ten years ago. Luckily with the help of injections my MS is fairly stable. I do get very tired and this is what my husband is concerned about.
Anyway I have to go now - need to pack my craft trolley for tonight. If I have time tomorrow I will upload photos of the sample cards I made for tonights class.

What a day........
What a day it has been. It has rained non-stop for the last 24hrs and some parts of the county are flooded.
My husband dropped me at Bamburgh at 9.30 am for the wedding fair. It was held in a marquee on the cliff just below the castle. Well as you can imagine the wind and rain lashed the tent all day and my table was at the opposite side of the marquee to the heater.
We had a total of five couples who were prepared to brave the elements and visit the fair but I did make some useful contacts. Hubby picked me up an hour early because there had been problems reported with the roads.
Indeed, as we drove home roads and fields were flooded, cars had conked out and there was mayhem everywhere. Needless to say hubby has refused to venture out tomorrow.

Visit to the Metro Centre
Visited my favourite shop in the MetroCentre, Gateshead today. No not Thorntons- although I could be swayed- The Paper Mill Shop. I bought a box of card, some 99p stamps, a flower punch and one or two other things but for the love of me I can't remember what.
On the way out of the Metro Centre I stopped off at Poundland and invested in three sets of mini drawers. Well a girl can never have enough storage-can she?
I just read this post back and boy does it make exciting reading!

Last minute fire-fighter
Well I am busy preparing for the Wedding Fair at Bamburgh Castle this weekend or I would be if I could find some energy. I am definitely a fire-fighter. I always leave things to the last minute.
I had a phone-call yesterday from someone who is putting together a brochure for Bamburgh Castle. Seems they are now able to carry out civil weddings at the castle and would I like to advertise in the brochure. Depends on the cost of course-I replied. Meeting with him next week to discuss.
