It's December, and it's been a long time.

Here's some of my card creations elfing it up!

Market Finds

Came up trumps this morning at Wolverhampton Market. It's fairly uninspiring place (although it does have a great little caff that does the nices bacon sandwiches)although a good source of cheap fruit and veg. And cow snouts as I found today, although even a rabid carnivore like myself is a bit stuck what to do with them.

Still managed to hunt out these great little photo magazines in the flea market isle. I should always look down here more, occasionally it yields some good finds. I just need to work out what to do with them now.

We also found a great 1930's home management and cookbook. Some great recipies in there we need to try. Lots of recipies for ham jellies, beef juice and high tea. Marvellous!

Well done Yasmina

Best thing about the Apprentice this year......

Back to work

Sorry about the lack of posts for a while, I've been travelling around California and Nevada for a couple of weeks and then straight back to the Pulse trade show in Earls Court.

Never let it be said I waste an inch of my wall space at these shows. Cram it in!!!

Anyway, so back to work now and just as busy. Was a great holiday though. Saw some amazing places I hadn't seen before such as Lake Tahoe, Yosemite and Death Valley National Parks. The trip got off to a great start with the flight out where the lovely crew of Virgin Atlantic gratefully received some of my cabin crew cards and gifts that I always take on these journeys.

Photo published with their kind permission.

Lots of orders to do now I'm back. Keep Calm and Carry On is going down a storm!

These always amuse.

Some people think it's odd having my mobile number on the back of my cards, I don't. It means I don't get these crazy texts and calls to my private number. There must be something in the water at the moment as I've had these two texts over the same weekend. From different numbers no less too.


Suppose I should expect such smut with my cards being the way they are :-)

We wish you a Merry Christmas.

Took my first order for Christmas cards yesterday. It's a mad crazy world. This won't be an oddity either; from about now and all over over the summer Christmas order will be drip feeding in ready to be processed come September / October.
Ho Ho Ho!

Oh, and whilst we're at it....
