My Party Bag is THE best!

I had the most fun afternoon today...I went to The Mad Hatter's Tea Party at AFTH.
Yes I made a hat but I haven't got a photo of it - duh! You'll have to visit Dy's blog to see it - she took photo's of everyone's hat. (My hat was made from Starbucks plastic cups - very fitting for me as I love Coffee Light Frappucino - double blended of course!) They all laughed at me trying to keep the hat on my head - it was so tall I had to duck to pass through the doors!

Here's Dyan dressed up in her Mad Hatter regalia....



The sunlight streaming through the windows is causing the brightness.
Jay was dressed as White Rabbit - Emmy had de-robed by the time I arrived, I forgot to ask who she was dressed as. I went to see what everyone was up to in the studio - Katie was dressed as Alice and I tell you, the costume suited her perfectly - I didn't take photos as I know Dy will be posting them on her blog. Marie, Kirsty, Sue and Katie were busy demo-ing lots of goodies.

Anyway, I came home with a 'party bag' of the bestest kind...full of things to help my creativity of course! A few Tim Holtz idealogy goodies, some Ranger colour washes and a stencil for my art journaling, my first Stampotique stamp - three to be exact! six new distress inks - well there was an offer on if you bought six! are you getting the drift? This girl can't pass up a bargain! Well you can see the other bits and bobs... I also took part in a make and take and had a lovely chat with Sue (of Dy's bezzie Sue fame) you can see the tag I made right at the front of the photo, I chose the letter K 'cos the Stampotique characters are a bit Kooky don'tcha think?



While I was there, Kate arrived and I got to see her art journal in RL - Fantabulous - I had a little stroke!

If you go tomorrow, wear a Mad Hat - you get 10% off all your purchases - I made a killing!
