BUSY OLD WEEKEND

Hi Everyone

I hope you are having a good weekend.

Everything is super exciting on the wedding front at the moment and that is where my time went yesterday (hence no share) and where today will go too alongside cooking the Sunday dinner.  I love traditional Sunday dinners and our youngest Son usually comes to tuck in too. 

My weekend is being spent making samples for interested "happy couples" and I have four new sets of excited bride and grooms to design for .. .. all completely different styles to each other.  Some I will just need to take various elements from samples I have already made, and put them together to make a new one.  But others I am starting from scratch and coming up with new designs using words and ideas I have picked up on at our first meeting.

So you can guess what I will be doing today?

From the ever growing "do list" I knew I was going to have to fit a lot into my weekend so I'm afraid I cheated and made my snippet make on Friday!!  But at least that means I can arrive at the snippet playground to enter Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge nice and early .. .. you never know I might even catch the bacon butty man sitting outside the gates if I am lucky LOL!!!

Here is what I made using my snippets this week:




As always I am lazy on a Sunday and don't list my ingredients but if you have any questions then you know you can ask.

 I am trying hard to use my snippets up but like Di I do feel they are breeding when my back is turned .. .. one day I need to be ruthless and decide which are just too small and silly to keep .. .. but then I look at my dies and punches and realise just how small a piece of card can be but still be usable .. .. sigh!!!

I'll tell you something .. ... Mr Blogger and Mr Internet certainly co-operate nicely with each other at this time of day .. .. everything happened really quickly!!!  No waiting around for pictures to load etc .. .. boom they were in!!!  Can't be bad.

Have a lovely day everyone whatever you are doing and I'll catch you again tomorrow.

Love

    Hi Jules,

    Great to hear that you've got new customers. Love the card. It's ever do pretty. If I'm not mistaken there's some Pink Petticoat snippets used up there.

    I was pleasantly surprised when I received my car insurance renewal (last Nov) too, for it had gone down. Just as well as our car is sick at the moment and I've been advised that it's not covered by the warranty. Boohoo!

    Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, hugs, Pauline xx

    This is gorgeous Jules. I love that image and the papers and flower are beautiful.
    I know exactly what you mean about breeding snippets, I just find it so hard to throw ANYTHING away.
    It must be so rewarding for you to be able to create stunning Wedding samples for excited couples and to be able to make something totally unique and personalised just for them.
    I hope you enjoy the rest of the day
    Hugs Sue

    I always enjoy hearing about the wedding part of your day. I know brides can be hard to please and you always make it sound so upbeat and fun...I think you must be that sort of person too! I think you love what you do and it shines forward in your posts.
