Good Afternoon my friends. I hope you are having a reasonable day. I've just got two loads of bedding dried and after I post I will be ironing and making the beds up again. Carolyn, Molly and Hamish are coming on Friday for the weekend, and as most of you know both Annie and I are attending a Tim Holtz workshop on Thursday. We leave early on Wednesday morning for Coventry, and staying in the hotel where the course is being held till Friday, so everything will have to be left in order before I leave. Carolyn will make the dinner for us coming home, so at least I don't have to cook till Saturday. We are both so excited and looking forward to meeting the great man himself. Got my camera all charged up and ready to snap, so hopefully I will be able to show you some fun pictures of our escapades.
My card to-day was a Gift card that I got last year and I saved it to use as a template. So my card is actually made from the original bauble and matted on to red card, and I punched the corners with snowflakes. My poinsettia is a mixture of Vellum and white centura card that I highlighted with glamour dust. before adding the large gem in the centre. Finished of with a red satin bow and a sentiment. We have just got word this morning that the Finnabair course that was cancelled on Saturday, is now on the 5th and 6th October, so we will look forward to that now as well. I'll try and catch as many of you as I can and leave you comments. Hugs Rita xxxx

I can't wait to see the photos of your Tim workshop and great news your Finn class has now been rescheduled!! I am still keeping my fingers crossed ours is going to take place... there is no refund to my hotel booking or flight, so I would never be able to afford a re-schedule... I'll be thinking of you all on Thursday!!
So glad you and Annie are getting to go!!! I hope you have the very best time!
