This is the life...!!!!!

Busy, busy, busy... Sos I am a bit sporadic with my blogging but I keep running out of time whilst I am having a life. When hes away I can stay up all night painting, journaling, blogging. I can exist on 3/4 hrs sleep, I can work the clock round and pretend I am invincible...lmao. But at the moment I am living a life, just like the rest of you..!!!

Sat 10th & Sun 11th April - Mini Ranger U Technique Weekend - 9-5pm - Part1

Now I know you are all jealous when you hear what goes on at The Ranger University in New Jersey. It is a fabulous action packed 3 days of techniques galore. Downfall = you have to be invited to attend and its a blooming long way to go. As Ranger's Senior Educator in Europe, I have decided to bring you a taste of it here. Two full days for you to choose from or treat yourself and opt for both. Techniques will include paint effects, Ultra thick embossing,beeswax, B/M pearl pigments, distress techniques, Claudine Hellmuth studio line , alcohol inks and many more.
You will leave at the end of each day with a tag book filled with know how and inspiration after using some of the best quality products in the business.. I am known for specialising and teaching techniques and masterclasses. They may look difficult but they are as easy as pie, you just need showing. So come on what are you waiting for???
Lunch and snacks provided   book HERE

For all my regular journalers I have slipped in an extra class, Sun 13th Dec  10 - 3 pm. We will be combining it with a riotous Christmas party of carol singing and stuffing ourselves with mince pies. We will also be starting on the round robin, so get yourselves booked on..

Today was the first day of Ranger 2. Due to illnesss we were down to 6 people, so they were flying through it, which is great because I can teach them more in the time. They are a great bunch and I am in my element, cause I just love teaching techniques. To me they are the best workshops you will attend. Today we were doing colourwash and ultra thick embossing.

Here are the girlies...Stephanie, Anneliese and Sue.

Sarah, Sharon and Steff.

Right I have salmon pasta, garlic bread and salad all waiting for me. Yup the little babe has come up trumps with his cooking again. You never know, I might just keep this one.. Lmao.

Enjoy xx
