ICHF - International Craft + Hobby Fair March 2012

By
I would like to thank Ali and Ian the owners of Ali-Craft for inviting me to be their resident demonstrator at the ICHF Hobbycraft show at the NEC Birmingham.  Thank you Ian for giving up your demo spot too :-) .
Ali and Ian are a major UK supplier of the Graphic 45 papers and staples, and during their visit to CHA 2012 held in Anaheim, CA, USA visited the Graphic 45 booth.  

 This was the first major craft show I've demonstrated at, and over four days met some fabulous crafters and hosted over 25 workshops where we made the June tag from my "2012 Collection of Tags". 

 Some of my Graphic 45 albums and altered projects were on the stand  for fellow crafters to have a look at. They attracted a huge amount of interest, and inspired others to work with these amazing papers.

I'd like to thank everyone who joined in the workshops, and for stopping by the stand and having a chat.  It was lovely to meet you all and share tips and ideas with others.

Here are a few pictures from the show.

    Hi Clare it was a pleasure to meet you at the NEC on Thursday. Unfortunately I couldn't do one of your workshops as I was working with Kay. I have tried to become a follower of your blog but don't know where to as there doesn't seem to be a place to sign up.

    I am the lady who made the samples for Ali and Iain. :)

    Hugs

July Giveaway and crafty Weekend in Milford Haven

Morning everyone, Happy Monday to you.  I"m home after a fabulous weekend with Cheryl, Jan and Chris, at their fabulous shop, In House Interiors in Milford Haven.  It was a full house on Friday for our Artisan Style workshop where we constructed, painted and altered pencil cases and albums.  Saturday was demo day and another full house.  Cheryl, Jan & Chris, thank you so much for hosting the event for all your hard work and your hospitality, you really did spoiled me :-)  It's been quite a while since I've travelled over the border to Wales so I was quit excited as I passed the Welcome to Wales sign and then Raglan Castle.

Saw my first Dragon too :-)   After a journey that took me across the middle of the country and th...
