Thanks ladies for joining me for the cardmaking workshop this morning. What fun we had....

We had a bit of a marmite situation with gilding wax. Some liked it and others hated it , but the end results were lovely.

We used the Motorbike and Vintage Car from the Jamie Rodgers Crafts Travel Collection along with the Cogs and Happy Birthday layered sentiment die .

Our next workshop is Thursday 5th February with available spaces.

 We had our last workshop of 2025 yesterday so Thank You to all of you that attended. We made a wonderful Votive and Tray set which would make the perfect gift for a crafting friend.

After the workshop, we had our Christmas party....... A buffet lunch with scrumptious cakes and mince pies to follow. The fun and laughter continued with a few festive games including a quiz and Christmas Bingo. There was lots of concentration during the games of Bingo.

We look forward to next year to provide you with lots more wonderful workshops. Hope you can join us.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
