Hello friends
In the midst of medical mayhem I am thrilled to announce that
I have made it through to the final round of the Spellbinders® Design Team!
The full post is here.
I am so very pleased to see familiar names too.
One further round to go and if I'm successful I will be able to
visit Spellbinders in Phoenix, Arizona.
I've been very fortunate to visit before and it is an incredible experience.
We work, we play and we eat the most amazing foods.....
As you can imagine I have everything crossed for good luck.
On the home front - Mitchell is now home from hospital, walking carefully!
These are just some of the tablets my boys need to take at the moment - scary isn't it.
Elliott requires careful monitoring, there is still some concerns that the surgery may have
triggered some difficulties but we will get there.
Shop/Studio news - I've just taken delivery of some of the new Die D-Lites™ that were
a little late arriving in this country. I'm uploading these to my Amazon shop.
They include:
Bluebells and Lily of the Valley
Asters and Poppies
The D-Lites are climbing my crafty chart as I love the proportion of them.
They appeal to cardmakers but I'm also seeing how superb they are for other
projects too. I have made some projects using these but I'm not able
to share just yet - I hope they will be appearing in the Spellbinders Gallery soon.
Again I must just say sorry if I haven't replied to any recent emails.
I'm still catching up on many jobs and I find I'm easily distracted right now -
I went to the cupboard yesterday to find peanut butter and spent the next hour
having a sort out and cleaning - one way to avoid calories!
Take care friends.

Hi Christine, Elliot and Mitchell, I have been away on holiday and you all have been through such a stressful time. Glad that everyone is coming out the other side with such great resolve. Being positive is what keeps us all going.

Hi, Christine! Many congratulations on reaching the final round and the best of luck for getting on the team!
I can't believe the week you've had! Wishing both Elliott and Mitchell a smooth recovery - they must be shaking like a box of Tic-tacs with all those tablets! Get well soon, guys! I'm sure that scrummy cake will help make them feel a little better too! Hugs, Lisa x
Hi Christine. Congratulations...my fingers are crossed for you. Glad that Mitchell is home and on the mend. I hope that Elliots surgery issues settle down, my fingers are crossed for him too. Take care.
Morning Christine,
I can quite believe how your mind is at the moment, you have had such a lot of worry, but as they say "there light at the end of the tunnel".
Well done on getting through the Spellbinders round keeping my fingers crossed for the next one.
Looking forward to seeing the projects you have done with the D-Lites.
Take care.

Hi Christine,
CONGRATULATIONS for making it into the final - I cannot see you fail, have seen some of the projects of the other finalists and a lot of them don't appeal as much as yours, to my mind anyway. But I'm keeping all my fingers crossed.
Might be away by the time they come to a decision but I shall catchup on my return.
Blimey, it's frightening, the amount of tablets Mitchell has to take. Must have been quite serious whatever he had/has........
But I hope he'll make a steady recovery, and the same, needless to say, goes for Elliott, too.
The cake should be taking their minds off things - makes me feel like baking again!
Have a great day, all of you.
Morning Christine,
I can quite believe how your mind is at the moment, you have had such a lot of worry, but as they say "there's light at the end of the tunnel".

Christine, congratulations on getting through another round. Arizona here you come.... do you need someone to carry your bags?????. The table full of tablets is alarming, but hopefully they start to diminish the more that Elliott recovers to full health. Glad that Mitchell is feeling better too. I will be looking at your amazon shop asap. Take care all of you. Janice xx
Glad to hear both boys are home, hope Elliott's niggles iron themselves out and good luck for the last round of Spellbinders, not that you need it. xx hazel

Hugs to the boys, those medicines do look scary but in time they will be reduced.

Good evening Nurse Christine - I hope Nurse Bella is making a better job of looking after your boys than Nurse Toby does looking after my two when they are ill!!!
