Finally Blogging


Well I am back from Sydney Craft and Quilt, and what an excellent time I had. I met some very nice people and I had the best time with Sandra.

I met this really lovely young lady called Jenny, I have talked to her on the Forum at Scrapbook City, but never had the pleasure of meeting her, and what a delight she was, Hi Jenny if you are out there, it was so lovely to meet you and your mum.

Sandra and I also met up with the team from Scrapbooking Memories which was a scream talk about bubbly and fun, and I also had the pleasure of meeting Sally Donovan, she is just the most beautiful person, Hi Sally, thankyou so much for dropping by and for coming and saying hello, oh I can't forget Emily from New Zealand, she was a crack up, and such fun.

Another thing that happened, which was quite funny, Sandra reached over to me and said " That women looks so much like Nicole Kidman", and then I looked up and said "That is because it is Nicole Kidman" yes, Nicole Kidman was at the Craft and Quilt Fair, poor Sandra, she wasn't sure because of her glasses, I had to laugh, you really had to be there.

Anyway, I am finally back, it went so fast yet it seemed such a long time away from my family. I did my class at Craft and Quilt and all the ladies were wonderful and I had a ball, I wish I had taken a photo, but I forgot my camera, bad hey !!

I just thought I would share a couple of things that went into SM and Stamping and Papercrafts this month. The first photo is not brilliant as I had to take it on a not so sunny day, it is the Basic Grey Challenge for SM, I loved these papers, which I was lucky enough to get for this Challenge.
The Second layout is a layout for the Holiday Submission in SM, very busy I know, but I just loved the fans and the transparency.

And then we have my cute little stars that went into Stamping and Papercrafts this month for Baby Gifts, these are so sweet, I am going to have to create some bags and cards with this.

Well that is about it, I know I have more to talk about but I just can't think at the moment, maybe because I am a little tired right now, so I promise to update soon.
BTW, all the Kite Kits are gone, they where very popular, thanks everyone, just quickly I have a heap of emails to go through, so I promise to answer them all very soon.
Best Wishes Carole xx

Hello Carole, I am so pleased you have taken time out this week to spend with your lovely family. It was a long time away from them all. Thank you for catching up with me face to face. Sharing similar joy in creating with passion is such an inspiration in itself. Your stand was a "wow factor" in person especially located right at the main door. Catch up again soon, Im off to do some more cutting :)
