Home!

We are home:)
Its been an amazing 2 weeks and I am grateful that I was been given the oppurtunity to spend time with the amazing Piggy Tales family.....big thanks to you all for making my time with you so memorable x.x.x.x




CHA was so much more than I imagined it would be.
The sight and sounds of Disney amazing.
I love So Cal and plans for our return in October are under way.

The flight home was long...the drive from London to Devon even longer!
The washing machine is contending with the last load and I am busy packing in preperation of heading North tomorrow for Stitches.
With bags full of catalogues and samples I am ready to spend the next few days scrapping my days away on the Scrapgenie stand where I will be in the company of some of my favourite people...Anna, Sarah and Debbie:)
If you are passing by come say hello :)

The cases are unpacked - the stash has been stroked and is now waiting to be played with:)
The guys are all still sleeping - this jetlag is no fun at all, but with lots to catch up on before I head away for the next few days there's no time to sleep for me!

Just before I climbed into bed last night Hubs gave me my Valentines gift....

opppps...I'd forgotten it was Valentines Day!!!!!!
Norty me!!

Ive a pile of yummie goodies all set to go - I'll pick a winner for my CHA RAK when I get back from Stitches....that way there may even be more goodies up for grabs.
Just leave me a comment to be entered into the draw and J will pick a winner on Tuesday night.

Happy Days.

T.x.x.x.x.x.x

Great photos, Tracie! Wish I could've been there to meet you! Looks like you had great time with the PT gang!

I just love the name Piggy tales, sort of a 1950s retro name which conjures up allsorts of homely pictures. Love the Valentine's gift too.
