The last few weeks have been quite difficult and worrying and without the support of my family and friends I don't know if I would have coped as well as I have.
One particular friend, Dawn, is always there for me when I need to talk and even though we don't see each other very often, she is always at the end of an e-mail, text or phone call. Thank you Dawn for your support and encouragement over the last few weeks.
Others you know are thinking of you even though you might not chat to them very often as life has the unfortunate knack of getting in the way. When you have difficult days, a card will come through the post from one of these special friends and brighten your day instantly.
I have learnt that if you treat your friends well, they will always be there for you when you need them!

Too much to do - not enough hours in the day!
Why do the weekends fly by so quickly and the days at work last so long? I seem to have so many demands on my time at the moment and not enough time for them all. With working full-time, a home and family to look after and my crafting commitments, I sometimes wonder how I fit it all in.
This Saturday we have a demo day at KittyKrafts in Dundee, showing examples and how to make easy cards for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Easter. The event will run between 10.00 am - 4.00 pm, so come along if you are in the area and see for yourself just how easy and enjoyable it can be. (Must get those samples made!!)
That said, I don't seem to have very much time to scrap for me these days and find myself yearning to be creative, even when I am busy at work. I envy those who are home all day and have the time to play. Thankfully, the monthly crops give me the opportunity to meet up with friends, chat with like-minded people and play all day without any other demands on my time.
Louise and I are off to the Trade show in Birmingham next weekend and I am so looking forward to seeing all the new products on display. I really feel that I have landed in heaven sometimes, getting the chance to play with new stash without having to buy it all myself and I have to thank Louise for believing in me and allowing me the opportunity to be creative and pass it on to new and seasoned crafters alike.

Classes restart
After the Christmas break, we have now restarted the classes at KittyKrafts in Dundee. They are held every Sunday from 11.30 am - 1.30 pm and 2.30 - 4.30 pm. The same class is run twice and there are also Children's classes in an afternoon organised by Sam.
The last two weeks have seen us making mini books - perfect for friends, Grandparents or Mother's Day and also small gift boxes, perfect for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or birthdays - just change the decoration of either to suit your occasion.
We are starting to attract more new crafters which is always good fun especially if they are beginners like we had in last week. They were good fun, willing and quick to learn new skills, and they all left with very accomplished projects.
