Oh yes people ... today will be my very last post for
Simon Says Stamp and Show. I have loved every moment of my time with the Amazing Heidi ... the little chocolate chip cookie that is Steph and the rest of the wonderful team at the
Simon Says Stamp store. I have loved every minute of working alongside a truly talented group of
Simon Says Stamp and Show DT members ... past and present ... and I thank them all very very much for putting up with me... but now ... it is time for me to start a whole new journey!
So without further ado ... the theme this week over at
Simon Says Stamp and Show is A Bit of Brown!
My last submission is a screen covered in delicious Paper Artsy Daisies. Of course I used lots of Lord Tim of Holtz products ... you know Tim ... the man that invented Motown in Hitsville ... USA while walking a tightrope across Victoria Falls with just a Blending Tool and a Waterbrush! Of course the challenges over at
Simon Says Stamp and Show will continue without me ... wait til you see who is now in charge ... she is like UBER talented ... I just know you are all going to LOVE her! Don't forget to join in with your bit of brown ... you could win a
$50 Shopping Spree at the amazing online store that is
Simon Says Stamp.
So ... who wants to know what I am doing next??? ... well ... I am hanging up my blending tools for a short time to become a pub landlady! Oh yes people ... John and I have bought a traditional english pub and we hope to be moving very soon!
I will of course continue to blog and craft as much as I can so ...
Have a great week ... and ...
Laters!

Love your piece today. It's so springy and feminine. Love the design and those Paper Artsy daisies are amazing against the blue background! Godspeed, my friend. Best of luck and love goes with you! <3 Candy
Love this screen Linda, the daisies really pop against the background, perfect . Don't stay away for too long we love to see your creations. Perhaps you could use your blending techniques on the pub walls, but don't forget the pics lol. Hope you enjoy your new journey Linda and all the very best to you and John. Tracy x

Wow, Linda -- what a piece of news. Think you'll be a wonderful publican! Can just see you pulling beers with one hand, and blending cardstock with the other. Old habits die hard, but bet you'll have loads of fun. Good luck, and hope to meet up with you sometime, somplace in the not too distant future.

OMG ....your blog will be soooooo missed.... I feel you have always been there and would be forever.
I hope your new adventure goes well and is not too exhausting ....and I do hope you keep blogging. I think a crafty pub diary thingy ...everyone will love to know how things go and I think you just might get withdrawl symptoms from not crafting.
Hugs xx and loads of good luck wishes.
How exciting! What an interesting new path you are taking. I sure hope you'll still be crafting and blogging regularly as I totally LOVE your style! Good luck with the pub... wishing you the very best!
Another one of your fabulous screens, love those daisies!
Wishing you both the best of luck with the pub, just think of all those beer mats you can alter, hope you're gonna put your previous arty ones on display!
alison xox
Crumbs - there's a change of direction that even Lord Tim couldn't have predicted I'm sure!! I will miss looking at your gorgeous creations but let's hope you don't disappear completely into barrel changing, towel washing and pulling the odd pint or two!
As ever, your creation is beautiful - I have admired these screens of yours and must have a go at one!
Juliaxx
Wishing you both loads of luck in your new adventure, will miss you over at SSSS, thanks for making it the challenge blog it is. Love this daisy inspired screen ... gorgeous. xx
You sure don't beat around the bush!!! I applaud you on your new adventure, and think it sounds so exciting!!!! I will miss you at SSS but I know that it is still in your blood to craft! And...did you know bartending is a craft in it's own rite!!! LOL!!! AND....some of my best crafts have been while I was on the Sherry!!!! Good luck Linda!!! Kudos to you!!!
Fabulous final project for SSSS Linda. Such pretty shades of blue and daisies for me are the epitome of summer.
I'm so pleased that my three partners in crime and I were almost your last 'students' before you move on to your new adventure. I know you'll be a brilliant pub landlady and wish you and John all the luck in the world with your new way of life.
Lots of love
Lesley Xx
Fabulous project Linda, we will miss these Monday morning posts.
You will be a wonderful pub landlady and we already know you can make a mean altered beer mat!!!
We had a blast at our recent class with you, you are a fab teacher, looking forward to seeing you at the Craft barn.

Oh Linda,
We will miss you so much! So sad to see you go :)
Wishing you the best of luck and happiness on this next endeavor. Don't be a stranger :)
Big hugs!
Going out with a Bang! Your card is fantastic! You gave me so many ideas. Thanks for the inspiration and sorry to see you go ):

Good luck Linda. I so had that wrong. I had thought you were buying somewhere to do your own classes!! Bet your be great as a landlady - so funny x
It will be hard work and very demanding, but its a good life if you're suited to it. Just be sure to make time for your crafty activities as well - sanity saving as we know!
OMG Linda, a pub landlady!!! Good luck with your new venture, you will be fabulous!

Hi LInda,
read your blogpost, and what can I say! Fantatsic, Congratulations and good luck! Hopefully will be able to visit you in your new surroundings soon :)
Hugs xx
Well, I was trying to guess what the pull from SSSS was going to be... Pub landlady wasn't on the radar!
What a surprise! I think it's a great venture and I wish you all the very best! Are you going to tell us where it is so we can all come and keep you busy???
Hugs
Well good luck to you in your new venture and I can foresee pub stamping and crafting becoming a new trend! You'll have to let us in on the new venue so we can pop in when passing to enjoy the hospitality and the refreshments.
Love JoZarty x
Oh my goodness, I smiled at your post...it's been so lovely working with you and I want you to keep in touch!! Best of luck in all you do, truly you are lovely.
Fantastic project to finish out with--gorgeous colors and lacing..daisies just happen to be a favorite flower of mine :)
Big hugs!

Though this is my first time giving a comment in your blog, it's quite sad to know that you're leaving SSS&S challenge. Your creations are adorable. And your tutorial of the grunge rose is my fave, as I love flowers. Have a great adventure being a pub landlady, Linda..
I am so very woefully far behind in blog reading & all - I'm so sorry I've not commented here before now, but, I truly hope you & John are having an incredible adventure as pub owners!!! I hope you are well ... I think of you often!
Linda, Come back, we miss you. Hope all is going well with the pub, really hope you get a chance to create again soon, Mark x
