Hello friends
After approximately 10 hours sleep I nearly feel normal!
Always good to get back to your own bed and cuddly dog!
If you've followed me on Facebook you will have seen quite a few photos of my
trip to Phoenix but here are a few that I don't think I've shared.
Included in our trip was a visit to Spellbinders HQ.
On the tour I sneaked into Greg Tipsord's office - he is the CEO of Spellbinders,
I was thrilled to see that opposite his desk is a framed picture of one of my cards!
This is the card... it highlights the cut, emboss, stencil.
The dies featured are Butterfly Corner.
Pictured below is David Ruprecht (my new boss) and Stacey - yes, David is very tall!
As well as working and having fun, the week was also about bonding with fellow designers.
My roomie was Linda Lucas - you couldn't wish for a nicer lady, I miss her already.
I also got to spend time with Christina Griffiths - again, such a nice lady.
Christina is the face of Spellbinders on Create and Craft and watch out for her soon -
she has a lot of shows coming up.
Yesterday found me back in my cabin and Bella is determined not to leave my side!
Also, the outside of the cabin is having some special treatment - guttering is going up.
Mitchell was helping out - love the hat!
Mum has been busy placing winter pansies in tubs and baskets - it looks so lovely
and I am very happy creating there.
A little update of my time away - Spellbinders are such a generous amazing company,
the whole trip is inspirational and I've come back raring to go!
To celebrate my return I'm sending you on a 'die hunt'!
Somewhere in my website I've gone completely bonkers and reduced particular dies
down to ridiculous prices - take a peek and see what you think :)
Little clue...it's all 'D-Lite-ful'!
Take care friends - I'm back tomorrow.

I am sure the boys have made you proud, managing the online orders etc.
I am sure you are brimming with great ideas and don't know what to share first!
I look forward to it whatever it is!

Hi Christine, thanks for sharing your pics. Yes you have had a wonderful time by the looks of it. I absolutely LOVE the picture of Bella, it is one of those where you should have a caption of what she is thinking...she even looks (to me) like she is smiling too.

Hello Christina, I am so pleased for you. I hope this trip has refreshed you as you have had such a traumatic couple of years and life is looking good on all fronts Amen

So lovely to hear all the news of your trip/retreat. It all sounds so exciting and wonderful. Bella has a very happy look about her!! Enjoy your new crafting space and ideas. Looking forward to seeing the fruits on your blog.

Glad you are back Christine, don't do too much until you are over the jet lag. Great bargains with the dies, but I'm saving up for my first trip to the US next year, so I have to be very careful.
Good morning Christine
Wow fancy having your card in the CEO's office. What a super star.
Your photos look great.
I'm not surprised Bella won't leave your side, she looks very comfortable in your craft cabin.
Enjoy your day

Hi Christine, So pleased you had a wonder time out in Arizona.
What a wonderful place to return to..... your Craft Cabin. Bella looks so cute in 'Her crafty place' in the Cabin too.I have just planted bulbs and Pansies in pots, they add a little colour when its dull, although we have some sunshine here today.
Love Carolyn.
Hooray, Christine's back! So glad you enjoyed your trip. Your card is definitely worth framing. Lovely pics too.
Hi Christine, So glad you are feeling more refreshed, and the look on Bella's face says it all !! She looks so gorgeous, but you can tell she's saying "Don't leave me again, Mummy".
Lovely piccies of your trip away, loving your framed card, and loving the font of the sentiment, it's gorgeous.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
