Hi there. Thanks for popping in. So that’s how it is… Months of nobody here except Dave and myself. Then a week of everybody here and wonderful craziness. Then, one by one, they all start leaving the nest again. Back to peace and quiet and months of nobody here except Dave and myself. Grace’s fella Mark left yesterday. Had to get back to work. What a charming and lovely young man he is! First time we had met him. Talk…
Hi there. Paul here, I hope you are all well. I’m taking over the blog for the day whilst Barbara & Dave have a family day in London. So it gives me the opportunity to introduce to you, my very first YouTube! You would think that I would be used to being in front of a camera, but filming a YouTube video is very different! So much so, that you will notice I keep repeating the word “so”. Soooooooo for a…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in! Just got back from the most wonderful weekend ever. We had the absolute best time! The sun was shining, our friends and family came together, – and we tied the knot! Signed, sealed and delivered! So it’s official. Dave and I are husband and wife (I shall be keeping my GRAY name though). Didn’t have a phone on me, nor an Ipad – nothing. Just an exquisite hat made by Mandy, and a beautiful…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Well, it’s pretty chaotic here now. About 12 people in the garden having breakfast, so I thought I’d just slope off to my little hidey hole and chat to you before we head off to the Wedding venue. We’re having a little crazy treat for the kids today. More will be revealed… In the meantime, here was I this morning, stamping up the last of the wedding favour bags (last minute.com!!!) Then my knight…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What a lovely day we have had! And it ain’t over yet either! First of all, whilst we were having breakfast, who should turn up at the kitchen door but our darling friends Debby and Gill from Texas! Well, you can imagine the delight and excitement at seeing our dear pals after so long! Then Mark and Alex landed from San Francisco – and the party can start!!! So we went for a long…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Don’t know what I’m more excited about – Paul’s blazing a new trail on telly today with the Art Nouveau Fresh Cut dies, or Grace flying in from New York for the wedding. Nah. Sorry Paul. I love you, but Grace gets the Excited-Of-Edenbridge prize today! …and she brought her new fella to the party too. What a nice guy! Name’s Mark, so that could be interesting… Mind you, it has to be said….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie, and a little peep into the wonderful surprise party that the guys at work threw for Dave and myself yesterday. I knew they were up to something, because they insisted that we don’t get to work before 11.30! But when we turned the corner – well! Talk about overwhelming. There they were, the whole team in a great long line, cheering, blowing bubbles and letting off streamers and poppers. A moment…
Hi there.Thanks for popping in.Sat here in my office, having a quiet moment, reflecting on the morning.Honestly, you would never believe what was waiting for us when we came into work this morning. Very emotional. I blimming love this team. Simon took a load of photos, is editing them as we speak, and I will load them in tomorrow’s blog.Today I will stick to our bloggy plan, and launch You Tube Tuesday. Maria is here to show you a cracking Stained Glass…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Well, the count down is definitely on now, and the list of things to do is tick-a-licking along nicely. I spent the entire day making up the wedding favours. I’m pretty certain there IS an easier, softer way, but hey! All done now. On Saturday, our dear friend Wendy Thorburn presented me with a bunch of paper flowers. Really lovely. And made entirely with the Square nested dies and our Designer papers – sprinkled…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just stepping down from all the excitement here over the past few days. Just enjoying the quiet in my little artroom before the next ride. Wow. Need to digest it all really. I gathered up all the cards, envelopes, boxes, gifts, flowers and cakes which kind customers and friends gave us yesterday, and put them safe in the living room – all ready for next weekend. Astounding generosity. Thank you xxx First thing we…
