So its october already, today has been a wonderful day the sun is shinning and as i walked around nottingham i realised that since May ive changed so much.
Im lighter, brighter and laugh everyday, what is making me so happy i hear you ask.
Well the love of good friends always makes people happy the kind of people who love you no matter what you do or say. Im one of the luckiest women alive my friends are everything to me.
And perhaps the wisper of a new relationship, the butterflies in the stomach, the giddyness of a phonecall or text message. I guess all these things are making me Claire Hampton very happy.
Or is the new job ive accepted…….yes ladies and gents you will see me in a craft central near to you very soon. Ive just got back from a very enjoyable weekend in Reading and Oxford, the latter was very hard as oxford holds alot of memories for me. But as always stamping and creating pulls you through.
There are plans for me to spend alot of time in sheffield and the oxford store over the comming months. Therell be demos and classes available ill post more when they are confirmed.
Blackpool is calling as well, but im only going there if i can get a kiss me quick hat.
Im busy getting things together for CHA in january and putting some classes together. These will go up on the Hampton art website and here as soon as they are confirmed. So lots to do, lots to occupy my time and as always lots to procrastinate over.
On a personal level lets just say…….OH YES moving on, getting on with laughing.
Tomorrow im off to meet my friends in starbucks (a regular thing these days) and catch up on the gossip. So a large americano and a fairy cake will be calling. Tomorrow evening ill be spending time with someone im growing very fond of, someone whos been making me laugh so much id forgotten it was possible.
till next time
Clairexxx
