Greetings from Sidholme hotel in Devon we are in the middle of our autumnal craft week with two wonderful hosts Paul and Jeanette Spencer with keeping me will stocked with daily morning and evening devotions and fudge.

This week we have pulled out all the stops doing 16 workshops over the week including perfect pearls,different types of inks, glossy accents, embossing powders, ten second -studio, pro markers,daubers,tapestry stamps, peel offs and Christmas paper crafts. I think that's everything.

As you can See every busy but good fun but that could be i am living on 12 cups of coffee a day full cooked breakfast and 3 course dinners. and of course fudge!

As some will know we have been doing this craft weeks for about 3 year now we much be doing something right as customers from last year have returned they say they love the craft but i am sure its me hee hee. this week has been hot clear blue Sky's so and every chance we have left the hotel and enjoyed walk along the sea front enjoy an ice or like me a hunt in the junk shops.

But today been over cast and cold but i secretly happy as there is a lovely open fire in the lounge and old but wonderful cosy arm chairs so my plan is to make Christmas cards this evening in front of the open log fire.

This has to be one of my favorite places to come as i get a chance to meet and get to know every one, where i can walk along the beach with an ice cream or even a swim oh and craft in surroundings like this but don't take my word for it .

If you feel left out check out our website for details for our return 20-25 November 2011.
