Lots to Do Challenge Part Two


Not a brilliant picture (taken with my mobile phone) but here is James Martin (he looks even better in real life than on tv) at the book signing in Bolton this afternoon. I hadn't realised I could buy a book and get him to sign it without having to have a ticket to watch his demonstration. The books were £20 and you got them signed (if you queued long enough) but with not being able to look to see what was in the book first I decided not to bother. Besides which I got Simon Rimmer's autograph (swoon) last year and it cost nothing. Guess they realised that there is a market out there this year.

The whole event was much bigger than last year and was obviously a huge success with lots of stalls selling produce and lots selling hot food. Mind you at £4 for a small loaf of bread (French bakery) they may not have sold much. Hope it does not put them off and they all come back next year.

Anyway, earlier I had said I would make a Stazon Technique card - here it is. So now it is an official entry in the Lots to Do Challenge.

I really like this technique so hopefully I will make some more another day. Trouble is finding alphabet stamps the size you want. My white pen is a Signo and this is my favourite of all those I have tried.

Very gorgeous Neet - and the card isn't bad either!
Not sure who Simon Rimmer is? Is he as gorgeous as James Martin? Hard to imagine. That accent helps too.
Colours on your card are lovely - all Stazon? Blended with Cut n Dry? Have been doing something similar in my journal, not worked it out properly yet though.
Take care

Simon Rimmer is on tv on a Sunday morning "Something for the Weekend" on BBC2 at 10 am. Nothing like JM but I think he is very attractive.

I'll have to look out for him then! I do have a bit of a thing about Yorkshire men though, so James does it for me!
