I have put in my order for Sizzix. Wow what lovely dies and Emboss folders they have. Of course the new Tim Holtz stuff if Fantastic.
I did see Tim there but I was too late to see a demo by him as he was leaving for QVC. Have you seen the TSV they have. Mine is ordered!
Anyway back to Sizzix. I met the lovely Pete Hughes.
Here I am standing behind the Sizzix counter with Pete. Oh what a wonderful job that would be |
So here are some of my photos of the day.
I got to see Dawn ( Allpinkgirl) from Imagination. She is sooooooo glamorous. I felt a bit like a scruff next to her. She is a really lovely girl and so very talented. never got to get a photo with her.
I met up with Samantha too from Penrith Crafts .
The lovely Samantha and me |
I did a workshop . What happened to me!!!!!!!! It was like my Maths "o" Level all over again. Now I class myself as a fairly good, competent craft teacher and most of my work is of a fairly good standard. But in that workshop....oh my. I went to pieces.( The reference to my maths is that I could do the maths fine in class . The moment I was in an exam situation I went to pieces, blank mind, couldn't remember a thing ) I put my template upside down, I cut out the wrong pieces ....twice. I stuck things in the wrong places................
I wont even post a picture of it.
Why did this happen? any comments will be greatly received!
Well today I have my card group so hopefully "Sarah" is back to normal....whatever that is.
Have a great day
hugs Sarah x

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteWonderful to hear you had such a fun day, your pics are lovely as well! I think you are just used to doing things your own way, in your own pace and not used to following up instructions, with 'guided creativity', then you can not really do your own thing... don't worry, you are a wonderful crafter!!!
Hugs, Wendy
Hiya hun, thank you for your sweet sweet comment..
ReplyDeletelooks like and sounds like you had a ball, apart from when things wobbled a bit for you on the workshop.. put it down to pressure.. too many goodies on show .. takes away the concentration... I take my hat off to you for doing workshops.. i would just melt into a bumbling mess.. or go totally hyper and super chatty.. which is what i tend to do when nervous, i come across as a total nutter.. hehe.
love all the delish pictures that you have shown. i am drooling which is not a pretty site.. :)
and a shout out to your hubby for going along with you..
Thanks for sharing hun.. hugs RAch xx
