Well, we are here. The show is not open yet - we have to wait until 10 am tomorrow for that little treat but I have taken three classes today.
The first was with Animal Spirit Stamps. I did not learn any new techniques but I did come away with knowing that had I been fortunate enough to get The Mammoth stamp I could have had a lovely border on my cards. We will have to wait and see what I can do with "The Tree of Life" which is a lovely stamp and the one I got.
The second was with Aileene's Tacky Glue and boy did I enjoy that class. Mary had laughed when I said I was making roses from bread - she hasn't seen it yet but it is great. Then there is my eggshell pendant and my burnt brown bag butterfly. Three real cool projects.
My third class was Body Art - not that I will be setting myself up for doing this for a while, but I met the nicest guy - Richard (RT Ceramic Art) and I did a real cool dragon on his arm. Pity I did not take a photo! Now I have butterflies going up my arm, a shamrock on the back of my hand and the faint impression of love hearts on each finger. Faint because I tried to wash them off.

And where we registered
I only have photos of the Aileene's samples to show you but I am sure you will be satisfied when you see them
Look at these roses - made from bread! Minute too!
Burnt paper bag jewellery - am I serious? Oh Yes!

And another
Will take a photo of my cards when the light is better - and my arm so watch out for tomorrow.
Be sure to watch for the next instalment and pictures from the show.
