A Wonderful Wedding Fayre!

We were working at the charming Frogmill Hotel last weekend and met some lovely people - couples, vendors and hotel staff.

I'd never visited the hotel before and was very impressed with the quality finish throughout and the staff all bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed! Lunch was beautiful and fresh, and the events manager, Carol, was easy to get along with and very efficient!

I'd be happy to recommend The Frogmill to anyone planning a wedding in the Cheltenham area.

This weekend we are hoping to appear at Hatherley Manor Hotel in Gloucester - another venue I've never visited!

They are offering couple's a chance to win a £3000 wedding, so if you live close enough it might be worth popping in and registering your details. Of course we'd love to meet you there too, so call to our table and say hello.

Another busy week ahead (or what's left of it) but watch out for our first post from a guest contributor Charmante - lovely ladies and great videography. As they say in the movies... Coming Soon!

Where does the time go?

I can't believe it's been over a week since I last wrote! Things have been so busy, what with new designs and a tonne of samples going out this week on top of the orders we knew about! Mustn't grumble, as they say.

I really hope to get the web site updated tomorrow and write in a bit more detail about what I've been up to but for now I found another Martha Stewart paper flower that would make quite pretty table decorations. They could be scaled down and given as favours or used to decorate napkins - or even stationery (although they would have to be boxed invitations).

Follow the link to see the full instructions.

Might have a go at these myself... if I ever get time!

Things I've been putting off...

1. Putting together a new catalogue of my designs. I've updated the range of wedding stationery so much for 2012 that my old book of samples is really no use any more. Really must do it before I meet some potential clients next week!
2. Sending back my tax return. I've got all the info but I just can't seem to fill in the form... or even open it! Must do this one tomorrow or it's a hefty fine coming my way!
3. Taking the last bit of paint off  wardrobe I'm refurbishing. It's so cold right now, the garage is the last place I want to be. Maybe I'll leave this one til spring?
4. Putting links to 'last design' and 'next design' on my web page. I think it would make it easier for clients to click through rather than having to go back to the designs page every time... but it's so boring!!!
5. Redecorating my kitchen. I moved in here in October and planned to redecorate the kitchen (and living room before Christmas. Then I had so much else to do it's been shoved on the back burner but the paints and rollers keep looking at me every time I go in there. OK, this one will be done by the end of February so I can invite the in-laws round for a much overdue dinner!

Tools to stop procrastination

What have you been putting off this year? Work, friends or diy? I found some handy tools today to keep me concentrating while working on the computer... funnily enough I was supposed to be seeing to those web links (number 4 above) when I got sidetracked!

Maybe they'll help you too!
