Blog candy.
A big thank you for all your lovely comments on line about my dvd. I've had loads of great emails and phone calls at my shop. I thought I would do a blog candy for you of a dvd and the stamp set featured in it (couldn't find that one at home to photo), plus 2 more stamp sets also featured. I will of course sign and personalise the dvd cover for you and make you a congratulations card myself.
Just leave your comment below and I will announce the winner on the 15th november so watch this space.

Halloween.
As promised photos from our party night at my store! We had a fun night with lots of folk dressing up; JJ and my best friend jerry were the 2 Dracula's!! Kelsey and Demi my nieces were serving up ghoulish treats, Amy brought Ben along as a little pumpkin, he was so cute. Jackie who runs the shop was quite a treat. My friend Jackie came along too with her sons Callum and Connor. We had spooky purple witches and red devils join us too! And very cute children- lovely Scottish visitor as Minnie mouse.
Thank you all so much for joining in the fun, everyone made lots of cards and learned new techniques. Roll on the next open evening.

A little insight into a very special night.
We had such fun and raised money for such a worthwhile cause.
Claudia, Anthony, Ali and Dale were such great hosts. Everyone loved it. We had fabulous bids for our auctions and made lots of money for this incredible charity.
Cancer touches everyone's lives in one way or another and these events are so important for awareness and fundraising so a big thank you to everyone who supported us.
Both my and JJ's family have been touched by this dreadful disease, it is heartbreaking and so distressing for all concerned. My heart and love goes out to anyone coping with the trauma of this disease.
It’s great to know that through QVC we have done something really positive to help lots of people in similar situations.
Hope you enjoy the photos. Xx

Anniversary show.
Hello everyone, sorry been so quiet. I took to my bed for a week with a nasty infection, I'm on the mend now and will be on your screens tomorrow! Looking forward to my anniversary show . It is packed with loads of new products and is for 3 hours!! Berocca here I come! I'm still a wee bit shaky but it should be fun with my girly friend Catherine.
A big thank you to you all sending love and messages on here and from my shop at the weekend. First time ever I have not made one of my demo weekends, but my staff and friends did a fabulous job I'm told. It was just a small event due to the fact that ossy mills could not give us the space to accommodate more demonstrators and not enough time to organise anything else. Anyway prob just as well with both myself and Amy down with a dreaded lurgy.
Promise to make it up to you all next time, we have very exciting events and guests planned for 2010 so watch this space. As soon as all firmed up I will be announcing them.
Must also say I am overwhelmed by the response to my dvd, we have had so many emails and comments via the shop that I'm really very flattered and thrilled you have enjoyed it so much. Its been a while since I have done one and I'm very pleased with the result, so its nice to know you appreciate all the hard work. Thank you all for the lovely comments, I plan to bring out lots of new products this next year and am very excited about them, hope you are too...
In fact some more of my acrylic stamps ( featured in the dvd) will be in tmrws show. The daisies and shoes.... Watch out for them.
I'm planning a very busy week, must get my residential organised and next weeks gift ideas show, so you may not hear from me for a few days. Will try my best though,
Talk soon,
Love

Scotland and Leonie.
Hello everyone , I'm now at home resting up after a very hectic month. I'm a bit rundown and picked up an infection so resting and taking antibiotics.
I just want to say a big thank you to everyone that came to visit me in scotland, we were made so very welcome. Received lots of chocolate, cupcakes and gifts . Thank you all so much we had a lovely time.
Unfortunately my weekend ended on a very sad note with news from Leonie that she is leaving our team and following her own career path. As I'm sure you can all imagine this has been a shock , after over a decade together my team and I will miss her dreadfully. Leonie has been a talented assistant and a special friend.
I wish Leonie all the best for her future career .

Spooky time.
Hello all, monday has come round again and we are back on the road to london.
11am outlet show tmrw, as well as normal show. We are staying in london this week for the qvc event, its an annual show and great fun- but hard work. For you lucky attendees, lots of sneaky peaks of brand new products including a few of my own brand. Very exciting....
Back home friday night, lots to organise then including our Halloween party night at my store. Friday the 16th ( Amy's birthday incidentally - so she wont be in attendance- out boozing no doubt! 21 again eh Amy?) we are open til 9pm , with lots of demos, make'n'takes mainly focused on christmas cards but we will have a bit of spooky fun. All the staff will be dressed up , jj and I included. Come along and join in the fun, you are welcome to dress up too- in fact we will have a prize for the best dressed customer. We will be serving refreshments ( I'm sure we will have a little bit of alcohol too( well we still have to celebrate Amy's birthday even if she isn't there!) So please do call the shop and reserve your space - 01254 356501.
I am going to endeavour to make some spooky and christmas atc,s so bring yours along to trade with me.
Next week we also have the breast cancer care event on thursday to look forward too. Don't miss this fabulous event for a very worthwhile cause, once again a great auction will take place including a bid for a special day at qvc with moi!! Keep watching for more information.
And then the week after is SEC, yes I am coming to scotland!!!!! Yippee.
Whoops, almost forgot craft day in between and a very special one at that!
I'm very excited about that, in fact a very exciting month altogether.
I may collapse in a heap at the end of it, hopefully on a sunlounger as I have asked my dear hubby to try and organise a break away as I have booked a free week after SEC.
Anyway folks just arrived in london, must check in hotel and get some sleep.
See you all tmrw,
Love
Dawn xx
