Been Away ...

Well you may or may not know, but I've just had a little holiday, hence no blogging for two weeks, I did contemplate keeping up the blog while I was away, but with time differences and lack of internet connection, I just didn't get round to it (we moved around a fare bit). Anyhoo were back, and had a great time, straight back into things, emails from and to Rachael who has one class and all the kits all sewn up, emails to Lida and now replies and an exciting project ready from her, she is posting it to me next week. Seeing Kirty on Sunday for her photography course and a big planning chat, and of course Em is on top of things, so all goes well. I also booked Lida (and her daughter Louske's) flights today, well I was up at 5.00 a.m. with Jet Lag so might as well do something useful huh? Also spent my time productively clearing my photo's off my memory cards ready for Sunday. Busy busy, but boy I have missed my scrapping while I've been away, the creative mojo was on overdrive before i went so i hope I can sit down at some point on Monday and get back at it, we'll see. Oh one thing about being on holiday, I missed the first day of Harry Potter, yes I'm a Potter geek, and couldn't believe it opened when i was away, so hubby and I have been to see it this afternoon !!!!!

Well here goes my first post on my blog. I wanted to back pedal a little as last weekend was the first ever Scrapstars event. I didn't have a blog then but have been encouraged (and bullied) to start one! I'd love you to read the reviews of the event on Kathy and Kirsty's blogs, they have been so kind and supportive and you can find the links in my list of favourite blogs. The retreats have come about as it is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I was an avid Scrap-a- Ganza visitor and when that folded in 2008, I like so many other tried the Inspired retreat, which I have to say was fantastic, but I don't think I need to say more about what happened to the October 2010 event. I was the lady along with Karen Laverock , who tried to do a "rescue retreat" but as so many people had lost confidence in the whole event, it wasn't viable to move forward. In the end, I decided that as I had been thinking about it for two years, I should just go for i...

Scrapstars the adventure continues ...

On other news, last Tuesday after Henry's death, the lovely Emma Trout sent me a replacement kit for the Western Romance one I lost at the retreat. I actually filled up with tears when I opened the box, I knew what was going to be in it, but I was feeling raw and weepy and was very touched by Emma's generosity in sending me the kit plus a few little extras :) So it was nice on Wednesday to be able to go over to see my old scrapbooking friend Lisa and Elaine and then go to Lesley's, and almost finish the western romance layout, partly following the instructions and also looking at Lesley's layout. I should really have finished it when I got home, there is very little left to do on it, so I will do so pronto, and get it posted on here, it's gorgeous and once again I will have loads left over for a second page...... On to Scrapstars news, I visited five hotels this weekend and am waiting for quotes and dates to be confirmed, i will speak to them all tomorrow. I haven...

Parcels arriving ...

Well they are coming in thick and fast this week (finally) I must say some of the suppliers have left me with the jitters with these new summer CHA releases only just coming in to their warehouses. If you want the new releases, you have to do it this way, maybe next year, i will pick a date where the products will be in in plenty of time, but then most of you will have already been out and bought them (Kathy)! I guess you saw my post on facebook about the delivery guy and me being in the shower! That was a very strange conversation, he's stood at the door on his phone ringing me and asking "are you dressed" and I say "no, I'll just put my dressing gown on" weird LOL. On another not, Robyn is Brown again! Her hair has been bright red for some time, as shocking as it is, it does suit her, but she's tamed it down a little and taken a couple of piercings out, could my daughter be growing up? Bless, she's a darling. :) P.S. she hates this picture ooops.
