*a fantabulous day!*

Oh, I have had SO much fun today; went down to Crafty Pastimes in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire for Kirsty's and Emily's workshops - both were totally, totally awesome, to coin a phrase!! I'm afraid this post is going to be unusually photo-heavy, since I snapped away, and insisted on having my unphotogenic self in various shots with other, far more gorgeous scrappers!! I had the pleasure of sitting next to the adorable Katie Shanahan-Jones - what a peach she is! Anyway, for your viewing pleasure, here is a small selection of photies...


The lovely Ms Shanahan-Jones...



The adorable Ms Wiseman...



The gorgeous Ms Falconbridge...


Gorgeous Rena made some of her world-famous cupcakes, which were delish - the icing was scrummy and creamy!



Kirsty's passion for Jaffa Cakes is well-documented, and so it will come as no surprise to members of the scrapping community that she was well-supplied with Jaffas today:


I was the fool who made the mistake of bringing the heinous blackcurrant variety...

I haven't got photos of my projects from today to post, as yet, as I haven't really finished either of them; Kirsty's is completed but not embellished, and Emily's is nowhere near finished, but I've made a good start!! It was a fantastic day, ladies - thank you, and to Linz for arranging the hall and letting us all come and splurge in the shop! A big "mwah" to my lovely mate Ali (Alibri), who was a teeny bit late arriving, but got there in the end - great to see you, darling! And it was really lovely to meet Beth, all-too-briefly - would have liked to have chatted for longer, hun! xx

And finally...

As promised, a photo of 'the cake' - remember, it is ages, and I mean ages since I last baked a cake, and this was an unfamiliar recipe, so I hope it tastes OK - I think it looks pretty edible, though??!!



Night, night all! xx
