Great project, great company!

At last the day had dawned for my Christmas prezzie from my offspring... it was a wonderful day at AFTH because you know who was there teaching a fabby workshop. So have a look at these piccies for a flavour of what we got up to...

Jude was the lucky winner of the FREE golden ticket that Dyan offered and travelled from the far reaches of Scotland braving high winds and lashing rain and snow and hurricanes and....naw I'm kidding, she did have to do a bit of juggling to get childcare, but it was so worth it...and it was great to catch up with my bloggy friend.



A piccie of the kit...



That's Emma's hand holding that book clip in position... I've got to get me some of these...well I have ordered them and if you want some you'd better get 'phoning Ben up and get your name on the list...



Emma and I sat with Ali and her Mum Pat,



Those three were troublesome - it wasn't me - I was a good girl, but Tim kept his eye on our table...



...and then Dyan had to step in and get them under control... hehehe (don't you love that face)



This is my ever growing pile of inner pages for my journal...



And this is the extra surprise that Tim pulled out of his hat...er bag for us - stuff - NEW stuff from CHA - not even stocked here in the UK yet - and we got to play with it, along with the new pearl mister's the new style dabber paints and oooh lots of cool stuff - yummy!



Bits from my - what Tim called "Lose-ables" bag - made me smile every time he said "in your lose-ables bag you'll find a ...."



This is my journal coming together...



And this is mine and Emma's - we all had the same kits but got to choose different colours and how we chose to embellished the pages inside... gorgeous eh?



Course after that workshop, I had a list as long as my arm of goodies that I wanted to buy.... kraft resist paper stack, glassine, stamps, stamps, stamps, more yummy stamps, art parts, book clips etc etc etc....

Oh and Tim had a give away during the class too...six packs of his new release stamps - I didn't win but my buddy Christine did and there were five other very happy ladies who did too. Bernice also won a Tim Holtz designer hold all - apparently, a much sought after item!

Ah, look at Our Ben, uncomplainingly worked hard kerchinging that till ALL day :D



Click on this piccie for a close up of my (nearly) finished journal - I chose one of my fave quotes from Hippocrates for my title - "Life is short, ART eternal" Pretty apt don't you think?
