And did we have a good time or what!
I am always a little nervous meeting people for the first time, but as I walked into teh toom in Oxford at the David Lloyd Center at 11.40am, I was greeted with 12 lovely smiles and outstretched arms, lots of kisses and hugs!, and felt as if I had known these woman for ages. I came away at the end of the weekend with 12 wonderful friends, a wealth of inspiration from such a talented bunch, learnt to crochet, although I am useless, and I also played with stamps and felt tip pens (posh ones!), as well as eat and drink very well, hehehehe. I received a "gorgeous" badge from Shirley, and a lovely miniature rose from all the ladies.
Scrappers in action!
Ali, taking a photo of me, LOL

Getting all emotional by the beautiful words you ladies wrote
Sunday was Remembrance Day here in the UK, and I was glad to be part of a service in Oxford. Shirley and I popped outside from shopping at Stamp Addict, to walk with the possession and take part in the 2 minute silence.
After all my excitement from the weekend, Pencil Lines went live last night. Love this sketch by Cecile Lundstad. I used my Bad Girl Vintage Treasures kit (November's) and a wedding photo of me, teh Bride! First wedding photo I have scrapped , and it has given me the bug to start thinking about scrapping my wedding album in 2009.
Has anyone scrapped an album of their wedding? would love to see how you went about it.
I have had Izzy of school today. She was exhausted this morning, so the pair of us had a "duvet" day and watched a DVD whilst making felt tree decorations.... more of that this week!
I am tired from the weekend, and still have a few bits to do for my classes I am teaching at ATDML. I hear my classes are full, and am really looking forward to meeting familiar and new faces.

My kit arrived safely on Saturday - it's lovely! I've had my eye on those Sass Lass stickers for a while, so I'm especially looking forward to playing with them.
