Last week I felt very privileged to be asked to hold a craft masterclass with a couple of competition winners at QVC. So I got my finger out and designed 5 cards, made up their kits and drove up very early Tuesday Morning, to meet the ladies. Olivia came ALL the way from Northern Ireland and Angela, came all the way from Yorkshire, originally from New Jersey We had the loveliest of mornings, probably chatted far too much, but then hey ho, why not !!! Got treated to a lovely lunch and then had a studio tour, then the lucky ladies got treated to a yummy goodie bag !! Thanks girls you really were good fun. Xx As I was on air the next day I stayed up there and spent a night in the Pestana hotel, courtesy of QVC, thanks guys. It states it's in the top 100 hotels in the world !! And very nice it was too. Wednesday saw me and Wendie Rhodes together again, I was only on for two hours Wendie, bless her, was on for the TSV, and that's, well, loads of hours !!! She done marvellous, as us...

Or TWO... actually !! I'm back on QVC on Wednesday at 3pm and 6pm with some rather scrumptious goodies, even if I say so myself. Above are a few sneeks of whats going to be on your screens... It's been a bit of a crazy week and I'm sorry I haven't been in the shop as much, I promise I've not been skiving, (probably spelt that wrong) !!! I've been working REALLY HARD.... Honest !!! and it's all in the name of craft. We're just designing more classes for you, so keep an eye out for the newsletter. Anyhoo's this is just a quickie, so hope you can tune in :) Hugs Marion xx

Just wanted to share a few sneaky pics of what's coming up on QVC on Tuesday at 2 - 4 pm. It's a two hour show all about Christmas, and this has been brilliant for me, as those that know me, know I'm the one in the shop on the 23rd December, frantically knocking up Christmas cards for the neighbours and family. I'm always soooo behind, well..... I'm not now LOL !!! It seems gift cards are so popular now, probably because everyone has everything!!! So I'm going to show you how to make a great little gift card holder. Everybody needs a Christmas tree at Christmas, and this Tuesday you can get some gorgeous stash to make one or two or three... Here's a sneak of a quick and simple layout from the same stash. Oh the joys of stamping !!! All I'm going to say about this one is Mmmmmmm, YUMMY !!! And last but not least, Christmas stash isn't just for Christmas ..... So I hope you can join me between 2 & 4 pm on Tuesday, then all your mojo will be flowing...
