FINAL SNEAKY......

A final tiny exciting sneaky for you, as well as all the info for watching us tomorrow and Monday on Hochanda.  Love this little sneaky section from a make by lovely teamie Flo....

.....wait till you see the whole thing, yay!!  Clever Flo, clever CI Teamies, and clever Maria Kitano who hand drew all the new images for us.  And big thanks to all of you out there for supporting us over the years, and supporting us now on Hochanda, as well as on our own online website, you are all very precious.

Here are the Hochanda channel details.  We are on at 3pm tomorrow, Sunday, 31st, and 11am and 4pm on Monday, 1st....

 

I will be demoing along with lovely Lesley, of Chocolate Baroque, who is an absolute star, as she does all the driving, does her own shows, as well as shows for others, and then helps us out too with demos on our shows - phew what a lot of work!  Thank you Lesley x.  Please check out the schedule on Hochanda online for all our shows and for ordering details, as well as the details about Lesley's own shows on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday for Momenta - the One Day Special, and for Chocolate Baroque (new stamps on there too on Tuesday).

Back soon,
Jean x

p.s. Whilst on the thanking subject I'd better give a thanks too to Malcolm and David, the men in our lives, who do all the important stuff that has to be done, back in the offices at home.

SNEAKY PEEKY NUMBER 3.....

Wow, have we been busy this week, busy making stamps, picking and packing, counting and mounting, cutting out, and generally getting ready for Sunday and Monday - such a lot to do and it's not finished yet.  If you get the Crafty Individuals Newsletters you will have seen some more sneakies today.  Here is sneaky number 3......

Aren't they adorable?  Love, love, love them.  Malcolm's favourite image of the collection. Thanks Sandra!

TV NEWS MINI POSTS WITH SNEAKY PEEKS....

Thought I would do a series of daily mini posts - five in total hopefully - with tiny sneaky peeks of makes with the new stuff going on Hochanda live on Sunday and Monday, from stamp images hand drawn for us by Maria Kitano.  I'm completely in awe of the makes by our wonderful teamies that keep arriving this week - they are truly amazing, it will be so good to show you them all in their full glory on the shows - wow and wow!

Here are the first two...

Back tomorrow

We are having a fabulous few days of packages arriving from the teamies containing their beautiful makes to support the TV shows on Hochanda starting next Sunday (31st at 3pm), and continuing on Monday (1st at 11am and 4pm).  It's so exciting opening up the packages and seeing all the glory within!  OMG it's like Birthdays and Christmas have come all at once.  We will be sharing some sneaky peeks next week - oooooo can't wait!  We are sure you are going to love everything you are going to see on there, so please reserve your front row seats now, ha ha!

This evening I have some more beauty to display, produced for the last shows, by Flo and Dora.  All very gorgeous of course....

BIRDIE CREATIVITY BY TEAMIES FLO, HELEN, SARAH, CHRIS, PLUS AN EXTRA PRETTY BY SHERRY AND TWO IMPORTANT DATES FOR YOUR DIARIES.....

Well it's raining 'cats and dogs' outside, ha ha, so poor Monty is still waiting for his morning walk, with his legs crossed.  Think it's going to rain all day, so we must get out, just need it to ease off slightly.  Anyway that's why I'm blogging this morning - it's usually a night time thing with me - and I have some totally gorgeous items to share with you by the teamies.  Firstly by Flo I have this fabulous perching bird in a box.  CI-507 is our most recently released stamp, and also follows on the long tag/bookmark by lovely Helen.....

Chris has been busy in her journal with CI-505, Rise and Shine - and looking very lovely!

More birdies to follow by Flo....

Flo has used CI-184, CI-185, and CI-483, so colourfully in her creations above.  And I used CI-185 again in this one..

Background papers used in the above makes all by CI too.

I have a beautiful little tag now by Sarah again using CI-185....

My final make this morning was sent over by Sherry Hickey from USA.  Made with a now retired stamp but I do love the colours Sherry has used, and I'm sure lots of you still have the stamp in your stash.

Thanks to all of you featuring here today.  You are all stars!

Finally a heads up on two dates, with three separate hours, when I will be demoing again on Hochanda TV, with the lovely Lesley of Chocolate Baroque fame (she's demoing at the NEC today!).  The dates for your diaries are 31st March (Mother's Day and don't forget the clocks will have gone forward here too), and 1st April (April Fools Day, ha ha!).  I think the times are 3pm Sunday, and 11am and 4pm Monday.  Be there or be square!!  Can't wait, love, love, lovely Hochanda!

Bye for now,

Jean x
