Merry Christmas!

No I haven't gone mad!Me and Bill have just opened Christmas pressies from my mate Ros and Family!

We all went on holiday together in July last year and then they all came down to Ludlow after.
I decided to do a Christmas Dinner for them-so the table was laid with Christmas crackers , we had a dinner with all the trimmings and we all had a lovely time!
We went up to see them later in the year in Scotland and left their pressies with them.
Poor Ros got laid up with a bad back and our pressies from them didn't get posted---then I think Ros decided to set a tradition after them having Christmas dinner in July-we get Christmas pressies in July!
The postman bought them the other day and we loved it all!
Bills mug with a picture of Jake saying ''I luvs Bill'' was just brilliant! I loved my perfume,little artist palette charm and a pen that is just too rude to show on here!
Very clever how it works though-when you press the top the mans underpants disappear leaving him very naked!
One to take along to the classes I think! Thanks Hun xx

The Party!

We had a lovely time on Wednesday evening at mums 70th birthday party.! Poor mum didnt have clue about the extra people who were there, she thought it was just going to be us children, partners and grandchildren!

The rest of the relatives were all in on the secret and everyone was seated when she walked in! There were some tears of joy from her, when she came round the corner and spotted everyone.

We all had a beautiful meal at The Queens, can highly reccommend the sirloin steak with herb butter.

There was another surprise when they bought out her birthday cake-again she had a few tears!

The cake tasted lovely and everyone enjoyed themselves chatting after.

Ludlow Food And Drink Festival

I cant belive its almost a year since we were at the Ludlow Food and Drink Fesival Craft fair .

As usual the fair is on for 3 days Friday 12th, Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th September.

There will be things going on in the beautiful castle as well as other events all over the town.

We will be doing the craft fair in the Harley Centre in Ludlow College in Castle Square on the Saturday and Sunday.

I will be demonstrating both the oils and encaustic art and will have around 80 paintings for sale.

I will have lots of encaustic equipment to sell---I am stocking up well as I sold out at Onlslow Park last week and sold out on the first day at the food and drink last year.

There will be lots going on over the 3 days-the famous Sausage Trail, the sandwich trail and the real ale trail to name but a few.

We always met some lovely people there and we are looking forward to it very much.

We are on the normal craft market this Thursday, the weather forcast is quite good for then--the rest of the week is not looking very good though!

Ludlow Lifestyle Magazine

I had my complimentary copy of the Ludlow Lifestyle magazine through the post this morning.The magazine will be out during August and September and is featuring art and food.They have done a short article about me and my classes and an advertisement too.

The magazine is distributed over a very wide area-not just Ludlow , but Church Stretton , Craven Arms and all of The Marches .

Copies are sent free to all of the hotels, b+b's in the areas to place in each bedroom.They are also in dentists and doctors surgeries.

They will also be given away free at Ludlows famous Food and drink festival this September.

With around 20,000 expected to attend that alone over the 3 days it mounts up to an awful lot of potential customers for both the classes and painting sales!
