I can safely report that the retailers event was enjoyed by all, huge thanks to Leandra and Mark for all their hard work on the run up to the event and on the day itself .... they also deserve a medal for putting up with us {Me, Michelle and Darcy} too for the weekend! It was also lovely to see the ever so friendly faces of Lin Brown and Jo Firth Young. The venue was wonderful and we were very spoiled with the most beautiful buffet.

Leandra says: A huge thank you to the 50 retailers and tutors who came to this sold-out event and persevered in the scorching heat, managing to concentrate right through to the very last technique! Lucky we managed a slight breeze through the venue, but the air con certainly wasn't used to dealing with that temperature!
We had a wonderful day sharing so many ideas with you all, and will deffo plan another event again. To those who missed out, so sorry, wish we could have you all and that the date would suit everyone, but hopefully you will make it next time!
As another week draws to a close we would like to say a huge thanks to France ,who once again came up trumps with her beautiful projects this last week on the PaperArtsy blog.

It was so much fun, I had a blast! Meeting up with you Gillian and Darcy. Then driving down to the wonderful hospitality of The Franich's. Weren't they just fantastic? Then to spend the day creating was just icing on the cake. We had a scream, I can't wait to do it again. If we're allowed. Michelle xxxxxx
