Stampin Up Training Event

Had a funny weekend this weekend, missed my hubby on Saturday as I was at an all day regional training event with Stampin' Up and then had a hen night in the evening. Then on Sunday he had silly golf in the afternoon, which is unusual because he normally plays nice and early on a Sunday morning and then we have the afternoon together.

Having said all that, did I have fun and become totally inspired at the training event? you bet I did. It was great, raucous and fun, with loads of ideas and inspiration. We had a pre event challenge to make either a 6x6 scrapbook layout or a card, and I chose the layout of course and worked with the fabby Attic Boutique again. These events are great for doing swaps and some ladies made enough for every member of their team and others did enough for everyone there at the event (75) Wow, that's some hard work, I made a feeble attempt and did ten, I really need to get in training for these challenges :) Anyway, here is a picture of my layout and the card swap I made (it was very basic) ..... and i got some lovely ones in return.

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...

Technophobe

I really try not to be a tchno phobe, but honestly, stuff doesn't work for me! I love email and couldn't live without it, but like everything on the computer, it's great when it's working properly, unlike today. My email won't work yet I can google etc, what's that all about? Had myself some retail therapy this weekend, all good. My hubby is a great shopper so I'm a lucky girl, he's happy to clothes shop, shoe shop and even handbag shop !!! (He's in touch with his feminine side)! So he spotted this little beauty, we were at this outlet place near York, and there was a Fossil shop that said everything had 50% off, the original price was something crazy, and the label said £65 which I thought ok, it's all leather and I really like the bag, but then when we got to the counter, it was 50% off that, so a bargain to boot, (should have got two)! So here it is, my new handbag.....
