Hello friends
I've got two lots of WOW today!
Firstly I'm saying WOW to blog follower Elaine Wainwright who is doing Race for Life
and has chosen to do it in support of Elliott.
As soon as I told Elliott he just looked at me and said "Mum, I'm speechless!"
Elaine you are incredibly kind - we are completely bowled over by this thoughtful
gesture - it has truly made a difficult time easier.
The race takes place on Wednesday 19 June and Elaine has promised to share photos.
My second WOW today is WOW Embossing Powders.
A little while ago I shared Marion's (Sugar and Spice) video creating flowers with moulds.
As you know, my eldest son Mitchell has been in training and I thought I would give him something
fun to do - (boys do enjoy anything that borders on chemistry and pyromania!)
So here is he creating a pretty flower....
So here is he creating a pretty flower....
Use a foil tray (this is one is rather shallow, a deeper one is more advisable).
My suggestion is you buy Mr Kipling's Apple Pies as opposed to Cherry Bakewells!
The mould featured here is daisy.

to tell him to blend the two powders together initially! Oops!
I'm looking forward to experimenting more and later this year Marion will be hosting classes.
As mentioned, there is a stock of WOW in the shop, powders, Melt-It, stamps and a few moulds left.
Feel free to get in touch if you are interested - Mitchell will be dealing with
orders etc while I'm at the hospital with a hotline to my phone!
I do hope you are enjoying your weekend - craving a bit of sunshine here.
Take care.

Way to go Elaine, on doing the race for Elliott and Mitchell you look creative just like your Mum, that flower is lovely.
Thinking of you all tomorrow x
Hi Christine, well done to Mitchell, I never thought of using a peg, I use a crocodile cip on a long wooden handle but a peg would work better as it's more chunky. It's been a while since I had my powders out, shall have to re-discover them, thank you Mitchell for the inspiration. Good luck tomorrow Lynn xx
Hi Christine,
All the very best for tomorrow, I will be thinking of you and Elliott, hope he is doing OK, you both must be so nervous. Good luck also to Elaine on the race for Elliott, what a lovely gesture. And thirdly Good Luck to Mitchell, hope all goes well while he is in charge.
Love Chris X
First of all, a big cheer for Elaine and hope she has a great race! Well done to Mitchell, you could have some competition with his artistic talents Christine..and finally will be thinking of you all all tomorrow, hugs, Carole Z X
Hi Christine
A big well done to Elaine! Congratulations to Mitchell, you will make a crafter of him yet! The flower is lovely.
Great idea with the peg...I use Lakeland's magnetic wooden toast tongs when I'm using my heat gun! At £1.99 they're brilliant. I do of course have a separate pair for the toast! :-))
Thinking of you all tomorrow. Big hug moving your way.

Hi Christine. Glad to see you passing on your talents to Mitchell...great flower. Wishing you good luck for tomorrow Elliot. Will be thinking of you all. Take care.
Hi Christine, first of all thanks to you and Mitchell for the tutorial. I've often wondered how to do that, but thought you needed all the expensive equipment to do it! I have a heat gun, and any excuse to buy apple pies (GF of course), so just need some WoW powders now. :) You will all be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Lots of love, Carole xxxx

Thinking of you all so much, Take care. x.
I wish you all the very best for tomorrow. You have two wonderful boys, Christine. Gillian x
Good morning, Christine! How thoughtful of Elaine and I'm sure she will have lots of support from the Blogging community!
Nice to see Mitchell enjoying a bit of crafty creating - I had a go at this with my encaustic art iron as a hotplate, but as soon as I removed the pie tin, the liquid began to set, hence the need for applying the heat as you pour! Thanks for the tutorial Mitchell and Christine, I will be having another go! Lisa x
Hello Christine!
Well done Mitchell!
Best wishes Elliott!
I will be thinking of you all tomorrow!

How kind and thoughtful of Elaine to run for Elliott! I'm sure that Mitchell will hold the fort admirably - you may have to find him a full time job! I'll be thinking of Elliott and all of you tomorrow and hoping that all goes smoothly.
Hi Chris, Firstly I would like to say "Well done" to Elaine, and secondly to wish Elliott all the very best for tomorrow. Hope all goes well and wish you a speedy recovery. I hope Elliott will do a blog for us to keep us up to date with how he is feeling. Also has he thought about setting up a blog of his own to share his experiences, thoughts etc with other people who might be going through the same as him. I think it would help if he could explain how he feels and once the operation has happened how his recovery goes. Take care all of you. Janice xx
Wow Christine!! What a lovely lady Elaine is to be sponsoring Elliott in the Race for Life. Can any of us send a donation to Elaine for Elliott? Would love to take part that way if its possible.
Congrats to Mitchell on his achievement, flower looks good, so does yours Christine.
Will be thinking of you tomorrow and over the next few days all of you and especially you Elliott.
Love Carolyn x
