Just back from Belfast show,

Had a great day,

I promised to say hello on my blog to two lovely ladies from Monaghan, Catherine and Martina.

Lovely to meet up with you both again,

The show was a bit disappointing, as there were very few paper craft stands, I only got 3 things on my list, but still managed to spend a lot of money,

Thank you to Camilla for the lift, and to Camilla, Jenny, Roberta and Miriam for their company,

Thanks also to Trish, Phil Clare and Aiveen, for the lovely lunch, in the kings head.

See you all again very soon

Good Morning to you all

Well the feed back has been coming in thick and fast 

about the fun day, and the general consensus is, 

Everyone wanted a bit more structure to the day, and would like to make a kit, so they have something to bring home, and I agree,

We will defiantly do more fun days,

but I think we all had so much with us to set up for the day, we could of done with shopping trolley's just to cart everything up stairs, So maybe if one person wanted to share cricut updates, then we could all sit together, and everyone pick up the tips.

Also Shoreline is way to hot for crafting, so we won't be going there again. Newtownmountkennedy, the lighting is not good enough,

so I am looking at halls this week, and will get back with a new venue, I want to keep the cost down, so will chat to the ladies and see what's best.will share more news when things are sorted.




I was so busy Saturday I forgot to pick the blog candy winner
so will do it later today with Garreth and let you know who the winner is.

Enjoy the Easter break if the kids are off school.

for our Card Making Fun day.

I know some of you travelled a long way to come, 

and I really appreciated you coming.

And I hope you all get home safely.

I hope you all picked up some helpful tips and ideas,

I know I didn't get as much done as was planned, but we all had a great time, and the craic was ninety.

Thanks Margaret for all the fun,

Many thanks to Roberta for setting up the hall, and not forgetting Liam for dropping and collecting the tables,

Thanks for feed back and comments, if you let me know what you would like to do for the next fun day, I will set the balls in motion.

It cost just €8.00 each in the end for the day, so very affordable for everyone, making the goody bags just €2.00 each .

Some of the girls got 4 cards made, a quiet a few tags and still had a bag of stuff going home.

Well done to the winners of the challenge
