Let The Wind Blow High

Had no time to blog recently, sorry!

This is the last of the cards I batch scanned earlier this month. I stamped one of my House Mouse stamps on watercolour paper and coloured it with Twinkling H2O's. It was mounted on a pearlescent card and finished with Sissix leaf die-cut in the corner.

I have spent the majority of this week catching up on work for the wedding stationery side of the business. I had to agree the proofs for an advert in a wedding brochure for Bamburgh Castle, work on long overdue costings for the http://www.announceitwithstyle.co.uk/ website and prepare a mini album of my designs, for the administrator of Bamburgh Castle to show to brides. Busy!Busy! Busy !

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.

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.

Card and Castles

Spent a couple of hours at Royal Quays today - its a factory shop outlet in Wallsend, Newcastle. Hubby was after a new pair of jeans. If they cost him £40 at outlet prices god knows how much they would have cost if he had bought them ordinarily!
Well, there just happened to be a Paper Mill Shop and I just happened to need some card. I spent £4.99 on the card and £20+ on everything else not including the £10 discount I received with my loyalty card. Just as well I am back to teaching from the 15th September and bringing some money in.
On another tack received a phone call from the adminstrator at Bamburgh Castle. Thats the one that featured in the first episode of Robin and Sherwood -I think. Anyway, seems he is organising a wedding fair on the 6/7th September, saw my site on the web and would I like to take part-it's free. Could I say no- of course not. Does mean I will need to get myself organised! Hmmmn
