Scrap Attack 2008

Well i am absolutely shattered as we have just had our big crafting event. As regular readers will know, i am part of a local craft group called Aberdeen craft group. We meet up every fortnight in sandra's shop, Crafter's Haven, Banff for our crop and a right good time is had by all.

Now ACG are lucky in that we have been able to invite Dyan reavely of Blonde Moments to come and teach for us. This is the second time she has made the time to Travel hundreds of miles to teach us and we really appreciate it.

The weekend was a hige success and everbody attending had a great time. The 6 lessons where put together carefully and nobody from the beginner to the advance was left behind or sat twindling thumbs.

The food prepared by the girls was outstanding and Sandra did a fantstic job of keeping us fed and watered, lol

and Dyans Shop, what can i say.....outstanding. A great mix of Blonde moments individual stuff, rangers, Tim holtze, 7 gypsies, Basic Grey, maya road, the list goes on.

Here are a few pics but i will embedd the rest in the right hand side.










Here are my shopping stash pics. I didnt get all i wanted as alot sold out, i nearly got squashed in the stampede, lol











And i won the ATC challenge which i was pleased about as i used all the paint techniques we learnt last year to make my backgrounds. I also one a prize in the raffle as well, so an all round perfect day to a perfect weekend.





And here is the good news. Dyan had such a good time that she agreed to come back to us again next year for our third event. The date is still to be confirmed but it is likely to be the 5th and 6th September 2009.

The cost will be around the same price as this year of £200 but is subject to a slight increase. But if you book and pay your £50 deposit before the end of October you will receive a £10 discount of the cost of the package. To book either email me or click on the Crafter's Haven link on the right hand side to find all Sandra's details.

Why not take advantage of the years notice and start saving now. Sandra is more than happy to take payment in installments and operate a savings club.

That's all for now

Love

An exciting new craft shop

Sandra who runs our crop in Macduff has finally decided to open her own craft shop. We have very little in the way of craft shops up here in the NE of Scotland so a new and exciting craft shop is greatly welcomed.

The grand opening will be in a couple of weeks on the 10th December 2007. More details can be found in the poster below that i have made for Sandra.



I cant wait to get my hands on some new stash, especially all the bind it all equipment that i spied at our last crop.

And hopefully in the new year, i shall be teaching a class or two there as well. I am a bit nervous about that but i shall try my best to come up with some bright and funky classes.

So if you are in the banff area, why not pop along to the new shop.

An another note, Sandra has also had confirmation from Dyan at Blonde Moments about coming back up to Scotland in September next year for another scrap attack organised by Sandra and our crop. It will be 13th and 14th of September 2008. Sandra is still ironing out the details, so watch this space. The event was a massive success and a great time was had by all. See older posts here for details.

Right off for my beauty sleep.
