OMG, yesterday was just the most awesome day I’ve had in ages..
Thanks to all the blog friends I was lucky enough to meet and spend time with at the NEC Hobby craft show
Thanks to all of you to make it extra, extra special (((( Group Hug )))) lol
Sadly not all my pictures came out very well..
so I will be visiting all of the girls with cameras blogs and grabbing a pic or two, hope you don’t mind?!
My daughter Cherise came with me as she enjoys doing the Pixel Art hobby..
when we got to the stand where they sell it she picked all the materials she needed
and I left her to it for 10 minutes..
when I got back, she only took place at the stand and started demonstrating!!
She stayed there for about an hour and a half.. She was a natural!! lol

Think she is following in my footsteps.. heehe
Cherise also hit it off straight away with Rach’s daughter Hollie *big waves*, which was so nice to see
The next generation of creative crafters..lol

Tab, Kim, Bev and Marcea were demo-ing at the Magnolia stand.. and they just rocked!
I must admit that I spend most of my pennies at the Magnolia stall and I kept coming back for more..
John even said that they were going to change the name from Magnolia to Magnets.. Rofl!!

I was also looking for another storage idea for my copics
as the stands I had were taking up too much desk space..
Cherise came up with this tote idea.. and it’s just perfect..
I can now even take it to the front room if I want to do some colouring while watching telly!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oohps.. I better tell you about my card before I forget in all the excitement.
