Novembers Workshops and Retreats

By


Morning Everyone 
I'm back after a fab few weeks of workshops and retreats.  Our first was in Norwich on 4th/5th November. 
We had two days of crafty heaven creating Games Compendiums and Seasons albums with their stand.  Ladies thank you so much for joining me and a great time over our two days together. Bev, I hope you managed to pack up your project safely for your trip back to Australia. 
Then it was all hands (only my two) to the pumps prepping for our one day workshop and my last two day retreat of the year at the Holiday Inn, Kenilworth.  
Our Friday project was a little festive album and box altered in papers from the Winter Wonderland collection by G45.
  It was a great day, lots of laughs and a little bit of crafting thrown in for good measure lol!!!

    Hi Clare, wonderful to see I you back & you have been so busy this month. A huge class at Kenilworth & maybe one day I will make that one. We arrived home with the project all safe & sound after I carried it in a shoulder back. Probably lop sided now as it was surprisingly heavy. I had a wonderful time & thank you so much. Great to meet the other ladies & very envious of all their opportunities to attend more of you wonderful classes. Love Bev.

    he broke up me and brought in another Girl, i did all i could to get him back
    but all proved abortive, I was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a
    website that suggested that Dr Unity can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told
    me what to do and i did it then he did a (Love spell) for me.
    28 hours later, my boyfriend really called me and told me that he miss me so much,
    So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,
    and for the pain he caused me . Then from that day,
    Our relationship was now stronger than how it were before, All thanks to Dr Unity. he is so powerful and i decided
    to share my story on the internet that Dr.Unity real and powerful spell caster who i will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble,
