The Gentleman Crafter

Good Morning Everyone!!

Today I thought I would get everything ready for the much requested Double Decker Bus Kit...

Here are my thoughts...I would like to get this out there to you all ASAP...However, I am completely out of the City Scapes 12 x 12 Paper Pads and need to order them.  I would like to go ahead and sell the kits so I can get an idea of how much paper to order. I don't think it will take too long for me to receive the paper and then mail them out.  Probably late next week.

I will, however, sell the Double Decker Bus two ways...One as stated above with the 12 x 12 City Scapes Paper Pad including all precut chipboard pieces and paper cut outs with an all .SVG Files.  The next way will be without the paper pad yet it will have the .SVG Files for you to cut out on a digital cutter that will accept .SVG Files.

Let's take a look at The Double Decker Bus....

The Beautiful city of London comes to the forefront with another iconic project…The famous Double Decker Buses have always been enchanting to me…of course I always clamored to the top for a more majestic view of the city.  In my version of the double decker, you lift up the back piece and pull out a thin but long mini that can be filled with traveling quotes, travel pictures and souvenirs picked up along the way.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Good Morning Everyone!

Hope everyone is having a GREAT Friday so far!  It's so HOT in my area of Texas that I literally stay inside all day and only make appearances to the outside in the early morning or late at night.  It's that time of year when you try to keep everything you have worked so hard to grow alive...Just alive for a few more months so that it will come back out and flourish for the Fall.  But like I say, Thank God for Air Conditioning!

I've said in previous posts that it's time to start selling the kits that have been available to classes.  Today's is one of my very favorites.  The Telephone Booth Addresser.  We have had so much fun making this project and have even turned it into a Tardis for Dr. Who Fans!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Just a word of thanks for allowing me to post pictures of our vacation and share them with you!  We had so much fun and it's one of those things where I truly wished everyone were there to experience the sights and sounds of all the different countries.

As a way of showing my appreciation to you for following us along our journey, I decided to do a giveaway contest...The answers were due by 2:00 p.m. today.

I have received a ton of emails and want to thank each and everyone for your kind words and answers...I have counted the emails that were correctly answered and then ran a random number generator on the total amount of said emails...

The number picked was 14...

Here are the questions and answers for the giveaway:

God Morning!

Arrived Home Last Night Yahoo!.  After clearing customs, grabbing the luggage and driving home,  we got in around 6:15ish!  I can honesty say I was a bit woozy from my airplane drugs.   I think I literally went through a panic attack 3 hours from home...i wanted OFFFFFF   THE PLANEEEE!  10 and 1/2 hours in economy slammed in between two other people on the row, I wanted OUT!  LOL!  I finally got up and went to the back of the plane just to stand in my own space..Speaking of own space, it was so good to get home!

There truly is nothing like room..Room to sleep, room to create, room to walk and look at your garden, room to just turn around in your bathroom without knocking everything down.  When traveling, I come back home thinking about how blessed I have for the room to grow and stretch in the country!  I LOVE IT!

Last night, I passed out around 9:00 p.m.  I was so trying to stay up for a bit longer, but honestly, I cannot remember anything from last night...I called my sister and my mom ate REAL MEXICAN FOOD and then I was gone! Like OUT!  This morning, I woke at 5:45 a.m., had a cup of coffee, caught up on some of my favorite YouTubers, Zoe and Alfie and had another cup of coffee...Zoe had cleaned out her closet and was talking about how freeing it was...Well folks, I brewed a second cup and tore into my closet!  Four 30 gallon trash bags and one other full of trash, old socks, undies and ties for goodness sake!  They are all off to Goodwill and done!  How's that for a first day back at home!

There are only a couple of other pressing issues for the day before I can start back in the studio...One, I need to call about my broken phone!  I've been totally lost without it, but am soon grateful to Cesar for him allowing me to share his phone!  NEED ONE NOW!!!  The second is The GIVEAWAY!  Time for a few question...Are you ready?  Let me refresh you on some of the details before I start....
