I'm Back from Perth

And I had the most amazing time, where to begin.............

It has to be with the lovely ladies I met while I was away. The lovely Alli Paterson, where to start, she was simply amazing, she helped me for four days, which was unbelievable, but I am sure Alli would agree with this, it was like being on a Scrap Retreat, we had the best time together, we really did have a ball.

We went out on the Friday night to Ameritos I hope I have spelt that right, it is a Italian Restaurant in Perth, and it has gorgeous food, and I also met up with Sharon Manning, who is the nicest person, Hi Sharon, and also Lissy, she is just so lovely, I am waving !! and of course Alli, and I know I keep saying this, but I had such a lovely time, it was so strange sitting eating with these ladies in Perth of all places, wow !!

I arrived in Perth on the Sunday night, and Susan Johannes, picked me up on Monday with Maxine Hazelbroek, and took me and showed me the sites, and guess where we went, yes that is right to scrapping stores, Scrapping from the Heart, and Scraptivate, what can I say about both of these stores, the ladies and the shops were gorgeous, I know I am using gorgeous again, but it really was.

Susan and Maxine were both unreal, and I had the most amazing time, and laughing, it was such fun, thankyou so much Susan and Maxine, I really had a ball.

Then Susan had me around for a roast, and it was so yummy, and I have to tell you I was so hungry. Susan's family and Maxine's family are just beautiful, thankyou so much again, I had the most wonderful time.

Still more, then I went for a scrapping crop on the Saturday night with Maxine, Susan, and Audrey Underwood she is so funny, wow!! I had the best time.

The craft show was tiring but loads of fun, and I met Julie Dudley at the show with her lovely friend, and they were just so nice, I can't believe all the ladies I met, even Melissa Corbett, and Janine from Scrapboxx, hey everyone !!

Well, I realise I am woofling on, so I will go now, but thankyou so much to everyone.

Just quickly all the orders have been taken for the Love Layout, so I have none left, but I will be putting up another kit very soon.

And I will have some photos to share as well.

Best Wishes
Carole xx
