Fun with family and some samples!

Hello lovelies! How are you? Sorry I've been a bad blogger - I've been away visiting Shaun's family in Nottingham and only just returned. We had a lovely time. We all went up to Sherwood Forest on Monday and had a lovely walk.

Image may contain: 4 people, people smiling, people standing, tree, outdoor and nature This is Lucy and Penny with Shaun's mum and our niece Josie who we sometimes visit in Germany.

Today I managed to catch up with an old school friend Lisa. She now lives in Australia but was over visiting her parents.

Image may contain: 3 people, people smiling This is us with her husband Paul who also came from where Lisa and I grew up in Nottingham but he went to a different school. It was so lovely to see them after so many years! Who knows - maybe we'll visit them in Australia!!!

The main reason for this post is to let you know about Chocolate Baroque's first appearance on Hochanda TV on 4th January at 11am and 5pm - I have made a few samples that I'm hoping will be shown - here are a few!

These stamps are all featured on the shows tomorrow. This is one of my favourites - I used brushos to create the background and coloured the rose in using distress pens.


I used two stamps here and made the heart super sparkly using glitter pens.


This one has an inky distress background and a rose script stamp.

I hope you can tune in!

Hugs

Rachel xx

    Your cards are fantastic Rachel. Congratulations on being featured on Hochanda. I have been out all day so will have to look on Hochanda catch up.

    Your photos are lovely. It looks as if you had a lovely time visiting with family and I was struck by how much Josie looks like your girls. It must have been very special to meet up with your old school friend. A good way to begin the year. Hugs, Barbxx
