Saturday Shanagins!

Yesterday was a Fantastic day!
Got to go see Amanda at long last!!!
It is years since we last saw each other....and met up again online due to our crafty blogs!
It takes two hours or so to drive to her house.


Amanda & I had both decided after posting we were gonna meet up twice & having to change it twice due to things happening, including her ending up in hospital!!!
That we were not gonna plan to meet again......but if I just ended up at her house,
and I just happened to have my stamps and craft stuff in my car.......
and if I wanted to stamp up with her .....then that would be ok.
So various texts going back and fore.
Both not doing doing any on Saturday
.....both healthy.....
I just happened to be passing her road end.....( once I got right road end!)
We got together!!!!
We spent ages stamping away for an image swap.....
And , what would you know, I also just happened to have the two new stamps Amanda wanted from Sugar Nellie & a new ink pad, as hers was done in my bag that we swaped for cash! LOL!

It was a lovely afternoon, the two DH's bleathered about all sorts,
The two doggy girls had a great time!!!!

This is the only picture we managed to get as they didn't stay still for long enough!
And Gypsy is coming to stay with Poppy in October!!!
No kennels for your holidays this year Gypsy!
Lily was a wee honey and did some stamping and played with dogs.
She is a beautiful wee lassie!
We had a lovely supper and I am still getting ink from under my nails.

I got fab goodies including papers, SU stamps and altered tin from Amanda!
And it had lovely goodies in it, charms, brads, and .....
her left over bit of my fave punpkin ribbons from the
Spring Time Crafty Ribbons challenge we both did!!!!!!!



Talking of Crafty Ribbons......

You know I have really enjoying working The Crafty Ribbons Challenges,
this time working with beautiful colours I would not normally pick.

I had made this wee folded tag book.

The Crafty Ribbon's Team are in Paris at a Craft show with the challenge cards.....

Well I did chuckle when I saw this on the Crafty Ribbons Blog ~

"One section of our stand has been turned into spring -
we have all your wonderful cards on display, hanging from a washing line, with wooden dollie pegs - looks wicked. Thank you for all your hard work. Tina made us a delightful little tag album, with photos from the blog and using all "Spring Time" ribbons, we have this on our demo table. I have never made one of these, so explaining it in english would be a problem, but in French!!! We had to take it off display today, it was causing too much of a stir! "
