What a Great Time We Had!!

Good Morning Blogging Friends and visitors, and welcome Chris, my latest follower, it's good to have you here and so pleased you have chosen to follow my efforts, I hope I will see you often.

Thank you all so much for all your kind comments on my last cards, even although some of you had seen Alistair's birthday card before, you all seemed to enjoy it again.

Well my trip to Birmingham's NEC with Elaine, Patricia and Hazel was just fabulous, lots of chatting and laughs along the way, even about the extremely rude taxi driver on our run from airport to hotel.  All other taxi drivers were brill as was the Travel Lodge's staff, all bright and cheery, even although they were very, very busy.

We met up for dinner with Mrs. Duck, otherwise Ang from The Ducks DoDahs and Christine Harrop of Christine's Cards and Craft.  What two smashing ladies they are, and a great evening was had, great stories and laughter all the way.  We felt we'd known them for ages, and indeed we have in a way, on Blogland, but meeting up in reality was just fab.

As for the Craft Fair, Alice in Wonderland springs to mind.  I've never been to one before, except little ones here in Inverness where it is mainly textiles and yarn, I was completely overwhelmed, but I settled down eventually to spend. I was a bit starstruck too spotting all the crafting celebs, and I even chatted to Joanna Sheen!!  I found the particular brands I had planned in my mind to look at and buy, and Chatted to Steve from Little Claire whom I always get on the phone, and he knew who I was.

I had a ball buying, but I did come home  with money!!
My lovely hubby had a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my return, me thinks I must go away more often, but it is good to be back too.
Here is what I've bought;

Lavinia stamps I was desperate to see and Cardi-io too and loved the demos. I'm so pleased with my buys and hope to get playing later today.

Thanks for visiting and bearing with this excited little girl, (that's what it felt like)  with all these photos.
I hope everyone is well.

See you later
