Well, the lovin' Ink Craft Retreat is almost upon us and Janet and I are busy sorting out last minute bits and pieces to get ready for the big day on Friday, when 14 lovely ladies will retreat to a beautiful converted chapel near Beamsley in the Yorkshire Dales for a full weekend of uninterrupted creativity! Just can't wait to get started!
I've spent the day today gathering up everything we need to start altering books by the dozen and have just landed home after picking up a car full of succulents.
Intrigued? Watch this space! We'll be posting pics throughout the weekend!
In the meantime we'd like to show you what we've been preparing for the next workshop at Samuel Taylors, Embsay......
Now I wonder how many of you like violets?..
You've probably already seen the photos of this little box around, inviting you to guess what we've filled it with, well here is the rest of the photo.....
Who remembers these?
My Niece works in a fab little olde worlde sweetshop in Skipton which I have been known to pop into from time to time, and when I saw these wonderful Spellbinders stamps I knew just what to do with them!
Here's a photo of the inside of the card too
This workshop is running on the 6th of April (details here) and even if you are not fond of eating Parma Violets (you either love 'em or hate 'em), the smell is divine!
I even wondered if I could use them as an embellishment so that my cards smelled of violets....what do you think?
Time to get on with more prep for the weekend me thinks, looking forward to seeing you all soon
