sugar and spice

.....And, I've got so much to tell... But first off, the Wedding Show on QVC tomorrow (15th Feb) has been cancelled until 12th March, but don't worry there's an outlet show in it's place, so go grab yourself a bargain !! I was away for three weeks and at the time it didn't go quickly but now I'm back it seems like it flew by... why is that?? !! While I was away nina arranged a whole weekend of crafting with Amy Shaw (of QVC) you can choose either Saturday 3rd March or Sunday 4th March, each day will have different projects and you get a jumbo stamp from Woodware :) :) you will make 12 cards in total (each day) and the days will be full of technique, hints and tips, each day costs just £45.00 for the whole day, places are filling up so get in quick, you can call and book on 01268 530933 No sooner am I home and then I'm off again to teach for WOW Embossing Powders in Birmingham this weekend (bit different to California, but hey ho !!!) So any of you retaile...

Hi Everyone Hope the snow's melting, gutted I missed it as I LOVE snow, but nina sent me a fabbi photo of the shop!! Well there's no snow here in Vegas, just sunshine and LOTS of machines.... Fruit machines oh yeah and buffets LOL... Well it would be rude not to !! It's quite empty here by Vegas standards, which means you can drive up the strip in 10 mins or so as opposed to 40 in the past !! Took a few shots whilst whizzing along, so they're not brill but it will give you a perspective of the place. Saw The Cupcakery and just had to have a cupcake each. I thoroughly recommend the lemon one. Mmmmmm can still taste it, maybe 'cause I've still got crumbs round my mouth LOL. The Centerpiece at the Bellagio was impressive, as usual !! Oh and check out the worlds largest chocolate fountain!! For any men reading this, thought I'd throw in a BIG truck, well part of it anyway !! Hugs Marion xxx

And.... Well you never know. Sorry the posts have been a bit light on the ground of late, but that's mainly due to me being a complete tighty... You'd think in this day and age of technology wifi would be available without a cost..... But NO... The Marriott wants to charge $15.00 a DAY. Seriously, that's gambling money LOL We're off to downtown Disney today for our last day in anaheim and then it's off to Vegas. Whoop whoop !!! Had a lovely relaxing day yesterday at a local park, seriously check out the bad hair day on the ducks!!! Check out the mahoosive strawberry waffle with just a little cream, bear in mind it was on a 9" plate !! There's another picci here of the girls in the WOW booth. They were having a miserable time as you can see Then last night saw us meet up with an absolutely fab girl by the name of Donna Valdez, I met her on Facebook and a friendship formed from there, we spent 5 hours at the cheesecake factory with her discussing every...

So today saw the end of the CHA WINTER show, and I've got to say it was so much fun !!! I've been coming to these shows in the states for around 6 or 7 years now in the hope of finding amazing new companies (and I think I may have just done that.... Shhhhh) and over the years I've made some amazing friends so it means the show becomes one big reunion... It's so lovely :) :) We have another 4 days in sunny California (sorry i heard the weather isn't so great there) and then we head off to Vegas.. Woo hoo !!! Not sure when I'm next going to get Internet access so I'm going to leave you with some inspirational pieces that made me go oooohh !!!

It seems like ages as I've had no Internet connection, but today is a happy day.... Yay!!! As usual with this stupid Blogger app the picci's aren't going to come out in order so bear with... Again !!! The shows been hard going on the old tootsies, but it's been fun, I've been meeting up with a few of my fav's :) :) The displays are stunning as usual, I'll fill you in more over the next couple of days, but for now here a few shots of some loveliness INCLUDING designs from our very own UK import Fabbi . You know who you are Hunni and Natalie sends you her love, she had nothing but gorgeous things to say about you. This is very rushed, sorry but it's because we're just about to start a class with MLS.... LOVE these girls :) Rick was in charge of the camera today the the shots may be interesting, actually he's better than me. So here goes for the picci's .... Enjoy the few...

Must come to an end !!! Well, we spent our last day here at San Diego (sheds tears) it has been the most amazing week, this city is beautiful, everyone is so happy and nice, possibly because they live in such a gorgeous place.:) :) We went to downtown and just caught the last of a Chinese festival ( even though I'm loading these photos in order, I know they're not necessarily coming out in order... Don't like this new blogger app) We then went down to the front where there were some rather impressive ships, one of them being the Medway or Midway, I can't remember the name #fail !!! Anyhoo's it's a rather impressive US Navy aircraft carrier. Whilst Ricky isn't a Navy Seal or anything like that, I really do have the best husband in the world, he drove me around San Diego taking me to scrapbook shops, Target, Michaels etc and not once complaining, so to say thank you I treated him to getting his teeth done !! We then went on to see the sun go down at La J...

Relax. Today was a day for chilling by the pool. On our way to breakfast we were greeted by a couple of parrots, just sitting there soaking up the sun. Ahhh that's the life !!! The pool was a bit crazy as it was soooo packed LOL... Although we did have to share it with a thirsty seagull. If anyone ever comes out to San Diego, I can thoroughly recommend this place :) :) We only have one more day here then it's on to Anaheim for CHA, I've been getting the sneak peeks through and...... Oooh getting excited !!!!!! Hope the weather's being kind to you there :) Hugs Marion xxx
