sugar and spice

Here you go... a few little tasters of what I'm doing on QVC this Wednesday. There's an outlet (time to grab a bargain) at 10am and then on again at 2pm with LOTS of New products. Prepping has been a right pleasure as everything is yummy :) :)  I've tried to do as many demos as possible, but remember the outlet hour (10am) is fast and furious, I've got a mix of scrapbooking, cardmaking and mini albums to show, it's all been a bit rushed, but hey ho i've done my best :) :) hope you enjoy it !!!

WOW.... so there we were on the little beach at Marina Del Ray soaking up the rays before we flew home. Then after a 10 hour flight this is how we're greeted.... Seriously !!!!! Where's the sunshine LOL Actually in reality I LOVE snow, I don't think there's anymore beautiful a scene, but I am aware of the problems it causes, one of them being that we had to close the shop as there was no way my mum was driving in it, (I'm sure all you lovely people understand that) and as you could see I was in California (sorry about that) but hopefully we'll be back open on Tuesday.... But always remember "Even when we're closed...we're always open www.sugarandspicecrafts.co.uk" Keep warm Hugs Marion xxx - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

FOOD !!!!!! Obviously, I think the physiology is setting in, as I'm going on a diet when I get back, so I think I'm harvesting as much food as I can LOL !!! So yesterday we went on a road trip You can't possibly spend ALL day AND night in the casinos, well you could if you had an abundance of $$$$$ but we don't, so we didn't :) :) we went on the search for some moustache Washi tape for Nina, but sadly we couldn't find any :( :( sorry Nina !! So, you know that feeling when you're on a mission and it's just not working out, what do you do ? You go to the Bellagio for a buffet. Ricky's just about to tuck into a plate of crab legs, personally, I think they're yucky, smelly and messy, but hey, they're obviously VERY popular...... Now this is more my thing :) :) :) I would like to point out they were all mini, I didn't eat 5 full size desserts, honest LOL !! Hope you're all keeping warm Hugs Marion xxx - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
