We had a Ball........................

Graphic 45 workshop in Scotland with Clare Charvill UK Ambassador
Morning, I'm home after my 700 mile round trip to Scotland and the best couple of days crafting with the lovely ladies in Tillicoultry, Scotland. We had a ball..............
Before I share some pics I must thank Lesley for organising our event, inviting me up and taking me out for the best Indian meal, Gail for the amazing buffet you treated us all too, Tracey for the truly scrumptious Lemon Meringue Pie, Pauline for the Iron Bru to bring home and ladies to all of you for joining me for two fab days of laughter and crafting. 
Here's a few pics of the ladies crafting their Event Organiser kits to life, and the gorgeous paper combinations they chose to alter them in:
Construction underway on Day 1

 I love the mix of papers the ladies chose to alter their organisers in: 
 Tracey worked with the Vintage Hollywood collection: 
 Mandie and her project

Back Row: Anne, Jan, Pauline, Aileen, Lesley, Annie, Gail, Tracey, Yvonne, Nicola.  Front Row: Fiona & Mandie

I was hoping to see the Northern Lights -Aurora Borealis during my trip as there had been loads of  recent displays but recently it wasn't to be so Annie sent me a picture she's taken of them - totally amazing. 
But I did get to see the Keplies lit up in flickering green light which was a first.  
and these gorgeous guys greeted me as I pulled up in a garage for fuel on the way home
I'm looking forward to being in back in Tillicoultry in August to run another two day Graphic 45 workshop, and we're looking at a day class in Glasgow too. Dates will be up on the blog and website shortly. 
Well, I've got to unpack the car before the rain starts again, so have a great rest of your day, thanks for calling by and do call back tomorrow for the launch of our March Giveaway. :-) C

    Thank you for an amazing time. It was good to catch up with Jan again and make new friends too while having a giggle! I am still completing my albums and enjoying all the lovely papers. I will add my photos of my 40th birthday when I had a Masquerade ball ceilidh and we all wore ball gowns and danced the night away.

For those of you unfamiliar with our isle, Wales is full of magnificent Castles, sandy beaches, picturesque scenery and a gorgeous coastline.  I had to have a quick pit stop to see Raglan Castle.
