WOYWW

First, I have a wee secret that only a few of my closest buddies knew about and were sworn to secrecy.
Yesterday I was AWOL....
and I have been quiet on here of late.
That usually means I'm up to something
and I was.

I went to London to visit the Q.......
no not the Queen
but I was here instead:

I was at QVC for a screen test as a guest craft designer, "oh my"!
Can you believe it?
Me neither.
I had to pinch myself.
I had a fair bit of travelling to do and a long day in store but
I had a fabulous time,
everyone at the channel were very friendly making me feel at ease and welcome.
I met the lovely Julian Ballantyne who was so kind,
we had a lovely chat and I even got a hug too!
I was asked to showcase a crafting product with samples then was filmed with Julian discussing it.
And guess what?
I passed!
So now it's a case of watching this space......
How excited am I?
Well maybe just a little.

But what you really want to know is what is on my work desk today....


The whiskey has arrived so I have a local order to complete.
Some samples for my boss at Personal Impressions from my last demo in Inverness,
I know better late than never.
I also had a lovely surprise in the post too...then new Hero Arts Christmas rubber stamps...
mmmmm....oh so many yummy one's...
"heaven I'm in heaven!"
(I have to say it's a good job you don't have sound,
me singing, ain't good!)
Why not pop over to Julia on the Stamping Ground and see what everyone else is up to?

Finally I would like to thank the staff at PI especially Jan and Jayne for all their assistance of late.
I'd like to thank Dave via the lovely Cathy, for all his help and guidance to the best travel around London.
Lastly thanks to all the staff at QVC for making me feel so at home.
Let the crafting commence...bring it on!
