Visiting London....

A couple of weeks ago, I met up with some American friends who had come over here on a  trip to the UK. As they were passing through London we went and met up with them, to show them some of my home town. Did we get far?  Well in an afternoon we saw some of my favourite museum- the V & A , a tea time trip to Harrods, and dinner in Covent Garden! All in an afternoon! I love the V & A and I was amazed to find one of my treasures I have collected over the years displayed there... I have this tin, although in a much more distressed look :(

 

I also made a little travelling book for Kristen as a gift, and was rather pleased with how it turned out...lots of distress ink, Tim's Alphaparts, The Artistic Stamper European map background, and some of my personal Tim stamps...

Have a creative day

More new stamps... and a little candy

Good Day to you, and oh my! I have gone to write this post, and it has all changed!!! Now have to find my way around blogger again! I thought I would do a little blog candy, and give away this set of stamps.. just in time for the Queen's Jubilee and London 2012! These are brand new, and you can see all the stamps that are new here.

We also have new bags for our stamps ( so exciting!) and here is a peek of them....

Now if you fancy a go at winning the London set of stamps,  just leave me a comment :) I will pick the winner next Sunday.

I am having a bit of the weekend off, as I don't seem to have stopped for the past few weeks, so am off to do a bit of retail therapy!
Have a very creative weekend

Easter pleasures, and a winner!

I do hope you are having a great Easter, and enjoying the 4 day holiday , the sun (in your dreams), your CHOCOLATE (yum) Easter Eggs, the family, and just the general laziness of it all! Good!, because here at Artistic Towers, the other half has decided to remodel part of the kitchen, while I am juggling finishing off all the preparation for the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Show next weekend, which means, pricing all the new goodies, dies, papers, altered art stuff, and moulding stamps, making samples, and working out what techniques to show you.. in fact it is possible to move this weekend further into the month? In fact make it next month, when the sun is shining and it isn't raining, and I can veg out!
However much as I might moan, I did have a brilliant day yesterday, as I went up to London on the high speed train, which is fast and means I can read my book, without disturbance ( don't you love that?). I had lunch with my gorgeous daughter and her friend near Tower Bridge, walked along the Thames, took in a bit of retail therapy in Covent Garden, and saw a show! She took me to see Avenue Q at Wyndham's Theatre which is just the most amazing place with gorgeous interior. I was thoroughly spoilt!

After all this spoiling, I am back to work today:( , but before I go here is the winner of the blog candy for this week, and the last of the March Madness! So please step up to the podium.........................ROSIE! Congratulations, and please email me your snail mail address.
Have a great Easter Sunday, see you tomorrow..
