Stampin Craft Room continued to evolve! - Chapter 3

Further to my previous post about my new Stampin Craft Room.  you can see that the building started to grow and come together very quickly.  All was going extremely well and we were so lucky with the weather before Christmas.  However snow then came and temperatures plummeted stopping the plasterer in his tracks as the water in his plaster crystallised.  So it all stopped, but when the snow came it still looked good and was very exciting.

And we had fun!

Chapter 4 coming soon!  Be patient especially you Victoria!!!!

My new Stampin Craft Room - Chapter 2

You may recall my post about my new craft room back last year when I promised I would update you on its progress.  I've been remiss and several folk have asked for an update and so to keep you all in the picture here are some of the following stages.  We're almost there so I'll update you over the next few days.

My poor boy Charlie is a real lover of nature and I found him sobbing in his room as he was sad about the tree which was home to wildlife.  We intend to plant more trees to replace it which eventually consolled him, but a week on and he's still bothered by it.  Honestly none of us wanted to see it go, but the planners said it must in order that it didn't affect the foundations of the new building. I'll be back in time with more pics of the progress made. 

Also just over a week ago it was Martin's birthday and the children excelled themselves with the cards they made for Daddy.  They made them during the holidays whilst staying with my mum.  Martin was thrilled and we were both very impressed.

I'm looking forward to Christmas now to see what they make then!
