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...

Stampin Up .....

Well as my friend Sarah put on facebook, I have crossed over to the dark side! I have never been a card maker, i think I have made two under duress ever. Julie Kettlewell a great stampin up demonstrator came to my Scrapstars retreat last September and did make n takes on the Saturday evening. I was so busy running around, I hardly had chance to look at anything, but Robyn talked me into buying an owl punch. I haven't even had it out of the bag, but Julie rang me in the new year and asked me if I would have a party, I don't normally like to have these parties as I never think I can get anyone to come and I don't like my friends to feel pressured into buying. BUT It was a great evening, everyone joined in, we had a great atmosphere and everyone enjoyed themselves. Thanks Julie, and thanks to everyone for coming. These are cards I made at julie's class the week before the party.
