Fun in the Villages.

SHE Scrapbooks is situated in the heart of The Villages in Florida and I was back for my second visit.

It is the cutest place where everyone seems to drive a pimped up golf buggy. This was one of my favourites.

Stephanie (SHE'S owner) and I put the world to rights over the odd margarita and steak lol

They have recently added some fabulous gifts to their range and I took advantage to do some Christmas shopping.

But the real reason for the visit was to teach and have some fun, and we sure did.!!!

 I am always thrilled at the results of my canvas class and always want to show you everyones and how proud they are.

The lovely lady above, Joanne, drove 7 hrs to come take classes, can you believe it? I feel so appreciative of people taking time from their busy lives to come and join me.

As for taking time from a busy life, I am hiding in a hotel for a day or two, catching up on sleep and work. I hope you are taking time out for you!!

Enjoy xx

Catching up…at last.

Sorry about the lack of blogging. Besides being totally over run with travel and work, I was struggling with dodgy wifi.
But hopefully things will go smoothly from now.

Ten days ago the Ranger designers and team were reunited as we gathered to teach at a big retailer event, in Orlando.

Its always great to see every one again, although we work non stop for long hours. But we always manage to have fun.

And although I would rather stick pins in my eyes, I did a make and take…..and I actually enjoyed it!!! What the…?

Heres some of my new releases on display.

All the outfits I wore to the show were for a special surprise for Tim, as they were all made with his fabrics, the Eclectic Elements range. I actually made seven outfits but seem to only have photos of four of them.

If you feel inspired and want to buy his fabrics, you can't go wrong if you visit Whimsodoodle, in St Petersburg. They have the largest collection of his fabric that I have ever seen.

They even have his latest range which, of course, I just HAD to

buy...

 

I will post more images later.

From there I travelled to Florida, to the villages, to teach at SHE scrapbooks and I will blog about it tomorrow.
Until then

Enjoy xx

More adventures at Whimsodoodle...

...and, amazingly enough I remembered to take photos of last nights class. We had a blast.

Even I managed to get a few underway!!!!

 Here are some of the finished tags

Thank you to all the fabulous ladies at all the classes who jumped out of their comfort zone, especially those who were terrified of using a sewing machine, mentioning no names…Christy!!!!

Next week I will be at SHE scrapbooks in the Villages, Florida. I will be there Tues, Wed and Thurs and it would be great if you could join me.

Here's a couple of pages that I was working on whilst flying across the pond.

Enjoy xx
