Winter Came & Went!!

What about the weather a few weeks ago - Snow was great my grandson loved it! Unfortunately I tried to a boot fair that day with my daughter - it came down like a blizzard - frantically trying to put stuff back in the car whilst it was filling up with snow - What a sight!!

Got some great pictures up the local park whilst out with the dog (Rolo) but sorry no pictures of us covered in snow at boot fair.

Two great books!!

Hi, Jst thought you might be interested in two great books that I've recently found to help with sentiments and wording for both scrapbooking and cardmaking. There by Linda LaTourelle - The Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Word and the Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Card. Whereas some other books are a bit too mushy for my liking these are fab! There is alphabetical order so easy to find what you are looking for. Both available from Amazon.

Baby Shower

When one of the girls at work was leaving to have her first baby, we thought we'd throw her a baby shower. I had great fun making her a Nappy Cake. Yeh thats right!made from nearly 100 disposable nappies! She loved it and now takes pride of place in the nursery. This is her - Nikki - with her Mum. We gave her lots of lovely pressies and wish her and Jay best wishes for the future.

Craft Product Road Test

I was recently asked to road test a craft product for Design Objectives for Becks Fagg. My product was the 3L Scrapbook Adhesive EZ Glue Runner. Was a little disappointed at first to receive it, was expecting something a little more exciting. However after using it I found it to be a great little runner, easy to use, strong glue. Worked great on both scrapbooks and cards. And of course it's pink! Although at £4.99 is not cheap and you can't buy refills. So once used throw it away, although you do get a lot for your money.

1. How often do you use adhesive? All the time

2. What is the main type of adhesive you use? Double sided tape & Tombow glue stick

3. What do you look for in an adhesive? Something that is repostionable yet strong

4. How easy is the product to remove from its packaging? Very

5. Does the product appeal to you -i.e. does it look good? Yes

6. How easy is the product to use? Very

7. How well does the product perform? Extremely

8. Do you like the product? Yes

9. Do you consider it good value for money? yes

10. Would you consider buying this product in the future? Probably

11. What would make you more likely to buy this product in the future? Refills

12. What would make you less likely to buy this product in the future? If it was a little cheaper.
