New Workshop Christened!!

Yipee - This weekend, I have christened the new workshop. 3 lovely friends and customers, joined me at the shop for a special Keepsake Bookatrix workshop. We made the classic card, but used a beautiful water colour effect with Boxford Board for the top.

We had a lovely afternoon and I would like to thank Sandra, Ann & Lisa for helping me to enjoy the new space so much.

Only 2 weeks to go .... did I tell you I was opening a shop ?? he he

Can we fix it ? Yes we can !!

Have just returned from a marathon weekend in shop fitting and sorting at the New Nimble Fingers shoppee ... did I mention that I'm opening a shop ??? he he.

Well had to share this pic with you. Today would not have been the same without the help of my wonderful hubbie and of course our very own little "Bob the Builder-ette" Katie. She spent endless hours fiddling and playing with the broken cordless screwdriver... the cutest thing was that she kept putting the screwdriver into the pilot holes on the IKEA unit, and then making a lovely whirring noise as if the electric screwdriver were actually working !! She had us in hysterics.

Bye for now - got to get me into my bed. Yawn.

Bookatrix with Water colour - workshop for September

Hi Crafting Buddies !

Hope you've had a good week. This is just a reminder for those of you who haven't secured your place yet - I am running a Bookatrix workshop this Saturday ( 22nd Sept ) at 1.30pm in my brand new workshop in Desborough. This a Bookatrix Card with a difference though ... I have used traditional water colour card for the top layer and combining several techniques have actually painted my top design.

With the right tools, this effect is easy to achieve, with no artistic talent required !!

The Bookatrix board is included in your workshop fee as well as the famous glitter ball embossing tool - hence the price of £25 for the afternoon. Refreshments are provided as is good company and plenty of inspiration !!

To book, ring me on 0845 362 8511 or visit the Workshops and Courses section of my online store : www.nimblefingers.biz

thanks - happy crafting

Hey everyone !

Hope you had a great crafting week ! I have been mega busy again, getting things ready for the shop. Only 5 weeks to go now !! can't sleep, getting excited and above all am getting very confused. How on earth am I supposed to work out what ft square thingy I need to read to get the right type of fire extinguishers ? and will the council ever let me know about the business rates ??? and worst of all - who let mindless idiots loose on the streets of Desborough this weekend to slash and completely deface my brand new sign ? ! (clearly not happy about this one) answers on a post card please ....
On a slightly lighter note, Katie had been learning more arts and crafts this week. I have introduced her to stickers !!! yes foamie stickers for Christmas. Now she won't stop crying for them and is completely addicted. Pictured above, she is well into making her stash of christmas cards, although I'm not sure if she really appreciates the quality of the Joanna Sheen Victorian Christmas backing paper she is using there !! he he.
Please leasve me a comment if you visit my site this week !!
take care
love
