GOGO Getaway 2012.

What A lovely Weekend in more ways than one.  The sun was shining, the Daffs were out, and to top it all, I got to spend time with friends old and new.

This was the 8th GOGO getaway, and my third.  And I must say that this has been by far the best for me.  The lovely GOGO girls changing and perfecting the event using suggestions, and tried and tested methods from previous events, to make it all go with a flow.

Here are some of my creations from the weekend, will post more as and when I finish the minor details like journalling.

1. This is one of my favourite classes, by Lisa Griffin - I can paint a rainbow.  Painting on black and white photo's, I will definitely be using this technique again.

2. Another great class from the lovely Janice Warren - Wishi Washi, Nice and relaxed perfect for a late night :).

Loved making the washi tape, have never been a fan, but now i know how to do my own, and create perfect matching designs and colours, I will be doing this again, and again.

3. Labels class by Lorraine Ablett, perfect for my designer loving daughter, had no idea what the class entailed but took along some labels which we had been collecting, and they were perfect for the cause. This class was all about making your own labels but i was able to incorporate some of our own.

The Cupboard Trilogy.

I was lucky enough to be the winner of February's sketch challenge, and asked to be guest designer on their blog.  The design I came up with for the blog:-

Cupboard trilogy, Valentines Challenge.

Loved creating this card, with the heart stamp.  Embossed and embellished.

The Craft Room Clear Up Continues.....

Boy oh Boy,  2 weeks later and I am still trying to sort out my craft room.  I have uncovered all sorts of lovely stuff that I had forgotten I had.

All those pretties, found down the back of the desk, in a carrier bag. LOL.

EDITING

Trying to work out how to edit and change formats is a bit beyond my capabilities so it seems........

Craft Room Chaos.

Still trying unsuccessfully to reorganise my craft room into a space that will be more productive than it has been over recent months.

Still cant see the desk, but I can at least now get in the door, and sit down. But thats just it, I sit down look around, sigh, leave the room, close the door and forget it for another day LOL.

Despite the mess, I have managed to do a couple of small items. - 2 cards, a messy craft room and an ATC.

Will post a picture at a later date of my new and improved tidy room.

HobbyCraft show bluewater.

What a fun day! Lots of crafts all in one area, could have spent far more than I did. Also got to see the Downton Abbey costumes. Gorgeous they were too. Cant wait to go back in September, for another dose of craft retail therapy ..
