Fellow Crafters at the Allday Craft Extravanza

Thought i would post some more pictures of the ladies at our craft event, as you can see everyone seems to be having a great time.

CRAFT DAY EXTRAVAGANZA HUGE SUCCESS

We displayed our boards which gave the crafters some ideas of what could be made with some of the gorgeous stamping up products.

We decorated small notebooks and  small bars of chocolate which i think look so cute.

     These are some of the ideas Angela came up with from the nursery sweet papers, I'm afraid i cant lay claim to any of these, they are all Angela's ideas aren't they great.

Hi everyone, well its over our very first stamping up craft extravaganza , it was a huge success. The day was exhausting but very fulfilling and everyone claims to have had a brilliant day and most of the ladies are booked up for the next one which will be held in July. please contact me if you would like details julieelizabethmccartney@msn.com

Craft Weekend and New Friends

Hello everyone, I have been away for the weekend with my upliner angela.
we went to Pudsey to do alittle business training and crafting it was such a laugh.
We started the day of with introductions and i finally got to meet some of julies jems, and I'm sure I've made some good friends. Then onto crafting where we were shown how to make a gorgeous little gift handbag by chris who had just returned home from Egypt.
Isn't the bag so cute and no stamping......

Ive met so many lovely ladies and i absolutely loved julie who planned the workshop. Many  thanks julie you are a scream.

We then had a buffet lunch and julie had even got us all a cupcake with the concord crush colour scheme very clever.
Then back to work where we made five cards using the just believe stamp set and i met  julie kirkham, it was very confusing with so many julie,s  i thoroughly enjoyed crafting along side julie k . Hopefully we will stay in touch and become firm friends.
Then onto the raffle, my upliner angela won a prize i was so pleased for her and she even gave me the brights buttons. Thanks angela.......
After all that crafting the pub was calling us so off we went and had a great meal. Unfortunately not everyone could make the meal but it meant i could get to know the other girls who i had'nt spoke to at the hall. Time to say goodbye after the meal and myself and Angela headed of to the hotel bar to share a bottle of wine.
Unfortunately the bar wasn't a hive of activity and i think the barman wanted an early night as the music was switched off , then the smell of bleach wafted through the air. Then before we knew it most of the lights were turned off and bar locked up, it was only 11.00pm. 
So off to bed we went, tired after a great fun day...............

Thankyou cards

Just a quickie three cards i made for a lady at work one male thankyou and two female, and of course using SU products used.
