WoJ - New Release


Unless you've been living in a cave of late, you'll know that Whiff of Joy are releasing a Wedding and Baby range of stamps, designed by the fabulous Elisabeth Bell, who is my all time favourite illustrator. The collection is called Women's Delight and it has to be Elisabeth's best collection yet. Katharina has the whole collection up on her blog here to show you,as well as some fantabulous candy up for grabs.

Anyway, the collection is being released for sale on Sunday 14th June, so don't hang around.

Thankyou from Manda and school woes.

I just wanted to share this fab card that Manda sent me yesterday - isn't it gorgeous? she has also entered it in this weeks Cinnamon and Pumpkin challenge at Passion for Promarkers.

   

Talking of Passion for Promarkers - remember to check the blog later today as its the Weekend Workshop over there and there are How to's on colouring Skin and Hair, and a Tutorial on how to use the Blender Pen. Don't miss it!! 

Remember if there's anything you want to know about using Promarkers, just post a comment on the blog and the DT will try to answer you if they can.

My eldest has had the same primary school teacher for 2 years now and he's grown quite attached to her. Scott, as some of you may know, is on the Autistic Spectrum and gets really bent out of shape about change. Yesterday he got out of school in complete hysterics, face like a torn scone, and in floods of tears. He couldn't tell me what was wrong with him - he fished out a note from his bag and handed it over. It turns out his teacher has been appointed as Depute Head Teacher at a school on the other side of Aberdeen and he is completely inconsolable. I've tried to get him to understand that he wouldn't be getting her as a teacher next year anyway, but he's sussed that he'll probably never see her again so that isn't really working. Have tried to cheer him up by suggesting that he makes her a nice leaving card and he can put all his love into that for her.
