Kitty Krafts goes off-road!

We had the most fantastic time off-roading last week, but with Lindsay's visit on Saturday haven't had time to put it on the blog.

We were at the Land Rover Experience centre at Dunkeld, courtesy of a Land Rover competition.  The prize was a half-day on- and off-roading in a vehicle of our choice, which was a lovely new Discovery 4. It's definitely on the 'If I win the Lottery' list now!

Our instructor, Gilbert, was excellent, both as an instructor, and with his local knowledge of the wildlife around the site. Best of all for me, it made no difference to them that I more regularly drive a wheelchair.  So long as I had a driving license and could get into the vehicle I was treated no differently to anyone else.

So, if you fancy something different, or you have someone who has a landmark birthday or anniversary coming up, try off-roading in a Land Rover.  Just make sure you go with them as more than one person can drive.

The only bad bit was handing back the £49,000+ Discovery 4 at the end of the day.

More Tim Holtz goodies

We have more Tim Holtz goodies in now, including his lovely Retro Grunge and Vintage Shabby paper stacks. They are both double-sided so great value.There are also more of his metal embellishments if you are looking for something for men's cards

Lindsay Mason's visit

Lindsay's visit was a great success.  She was only here a short while before she had a crowd watching her at work.  The picture to the right is definitely an over-the-shoulder one as I couldn't get near enough to take a closer one!

She did a fantastic demonstration using Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks and Distress Inks, Martha Stewart punches, a wide range of stamps and Petaloo Flowers, sometimes all at once! There are several things I am planning on trying on my next day off, and if they turn out half as well as Lindsay's did I'll be a happy little crafter.

Lindsay is here!

She's here! Lindsay has just finished setting up and is raring to go.

She has a fantastic amount of stuff with her and has loads of samples for people to look at.
Alcohol inks, Distress Inks, Martha Stewart punches, Marvey LePlume pens and so much more, so why not pop in and see an expert at work?

No rest for the wicked!

The title says it all!

Working late tonight to get everything ready for Lindsay Mason's Demo Day tomorrow.  Been here since about nine this morning and it'll be after nine tonight before we leave.  Who says it's easy having your own business?

Be worth it though when Lindsay is here. I always enjoy watching her work and I haven't seen her since we were at Birmingham in March. I just hope I won't be the only one watching her tomorrow!

What a fun day!

I had a lovely fun day yesterday, playing with all the new Bo Bunny papers.  A morning spent crafting, trying to decide which papers to use, then a drive down to the Prom at Arbroath in the afternoon to enjoy some sun. Such a hectic jet-set lifestyle I lead!

Sometimes it's so difficult!

Sometimes it's so difficult when a delivery comes in. I have to check that everything is there, but on looking through it, all I want to do is sit and have a play with all the new stuff!

The latest thing is Bo Bunny. We now have the Sophia and Jazmyn limited edition papers and embellishments and they are lovely.  There is also the Double Dot range of papers with several new colours having been added.

It's my 'Day Off' tomorrow, but I always seem to end up doing paperwork. This time though, I am planning a different type of paperwork. Now where did I put my paper trimmer .... ?

7 Days and Counting!

Only 7 days till Lindsay Mason is here!  Everything is nearly ready and I'm getting quite excited about her visit.

I always enjoy her demonstrations, and make a point of visiting whatever stand she is working on when I am at any of the shows.

Among the products she will be demonstrating are Alcohol Inks, Distress Inks, Martha Stewart punches, Petaloo flowers and her own lovely range of stamps, so why not pop in and see a master at work.

Lindsay will be here from around 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., there's no need to book and it's free!

Bo Bunny Alert!

We've just opened a delivery of Bo Bunny's latest special edition papers and embellishments and they are lovely!

There're the new Sophie and the new Jazmyne ranges to choose from, so if you like a good quality product they are definitely worth a look.
