Ok so it was AWESOME .. the weekend, the people, the tutors and the organisation. However, this has got to be one of the most valuable things I got from the weekend. Yup you guessed it, a pic with some of my scrapping buddies, amazing ladies with whom I converse via their blogs and in person and when combined with glue and paper of course, make Scrapbooking, the fantastic hobby it is. So the photos aren't perfect, but just looking at these pics brings a smile to my face. Ladies you rock! It was cool to hang out with you.
Another person who made a MEGA impact on me this weekend, was this lady - the infamous Cathy Z (man, who moved the the camera??).I'm not sure whether it was because I was so totally relaxed in her classes that I took in everything osmosively (do you like that word??) or whether it was just cause she is so linear in her style, which, afterall makes perfect sense to a Virgo - but wow, I got it, I mean, I really got it. In fact, I haven't stopped journalling since I got home - now I mean REALLY journalling!! ... and doing the whole grid thing.
Seriously folks, that kooky lady with the orange sweatshirt and the fascination for Tim Tams has unleashed the monster within. Watch this space!
And as for this lady .................. you know, the one who inspires scrappers on every level, all over New Zealand. All I can say is 'HOLY MOLEY Nic!!!!! Don't EVER do that to me again Lol!
... and I don't have a pic of you Christina but WOW WEE, your 'GREENER PASTURES' range totally rocks! Well done, we are really proud of you.
Gotta go, gotta work ... would rather be scrapping!
