top secret

Sorry I can't show the projects I am working on until October. And I am still working on the class list for this term but it WILL be finished for the weekend when I start taking bookings. I will be at the studio on Friday to catch up with my students and start taking class bookings 10am to 3pm. On Saturday the whole gang are there for Heritage Day 10am to 5pm so great chance to bring along the rest of the family and have a look round the farm. There will be 10% of all workshops booked over the 2 days.

Club Class Homework

Last week we had a Club Class session with some new faces. What did we do? well we drank tea and cried with laughter, oh crafting you mean, Well we "explored" Pentel chalk pastels We had an endless supply of ATC sized Stamping Card and packs for Pentel Chalk Pastel, some inks and a big pile of Oak House Studio Stamps. This week I made myself " do something" with my ATC sized cards. I had to ensure I didn't spend too long on that part of the process, I just made myself "finish" something. So these are 3 tags I made from my cards. I wanted to be quick, so tearing and maybe an extra bit of chalk round the edges. If you fancy being part of the Club Class thing give me a ring to find out more OR pop by next Saturday when the studios are open as part of Heritage Weekend.

Here are few photos to show you I have been working! Some of you may be wondering why I am managing to blog a bit more. BEN is the answer.
He has been coming to the studio with me. It has been great having company, someone to clean my stamps and do piles of die cutting ; 0. BUT also he "plays" with the camera too and gives me extra time in the morning cos he ain't up yet!!.
I am off for something to eat as I have been up hours, enjoy these ....

decorating wood

I have been working on samples for summer school over the last few days. Here are some of the decorating wood ones, but I have been making loads more. I have to admit I am not that good at getting photos taken. I wouldn't have these Ben hadn't been there experimenting with my camera between cleaning stamps after last weekends stamping escape. I know you need to see photos of that too. I will try honest

If you fancy joining us for summer school prices are around £50 day. That includes all food, materials a spectacular gift box to take home which contains, stamps, inks and embossing powders and more. Email me at lynndaw@gmail.com to check availabilty.

Strawberry Tea

Last weekend was our annually Strawberry Tea for Breast Cancer Care. We had a great time as the photos show. Martin and Heather were in charge of catering (and washing up). Lots of people grabbed some bargains as Martin had cleared some stock from the warehouse.
Some people took up the challenge of doing a project check out that box!! (note this has now been added into Lynnda's boxes course).
Lucy and Joseph stole the show.

retreat to the other side of Yorkshire

Finally bloging!

I know I have been missing for a while, hope to get back in the swing now,
These are photos from the fabulous weekend I had with Gwen and her team at the other side of Yorkshire.

The food was amazing and so was the company. The project were great and no stamping,? I know ! if you look closely you will see I did manage to do some stamping, but Gwen was very understanding!!!

I had a lovely time and if you have never been away on a crafting retreat I suggest to get one booked now! they are ideal getaways on your own or with a friend. You will come back with lots of new friends to talking crafting to as an added bonus.I came back inspired and ready to get back to the drawing board.
Gwen has another weekend planned for later in the year, should be good.

Wednesday Club Class

We only have few Wednesdays left, so the last few places we have left are available at the discounted rate of £5 (usual price £7.50).
Club Class runs 10am to 12noon each week. Classes are designed to develop your skills as a papercrafter. Being a Stamp designer, we tend to do plenty of stamping.
