 my lovely Hobbycraft buddies Lyn and Tom

the adorable, funny and mega talented Ken Oliver
he was warned the natives were extra friendly but didn't get the restraining order in time

the lovely sweet Spellbinders Queen...Sue Wilson
and the one and only absolutely adorable...Barbara Gray
not forgetting all the lovely folks who have attended my demos and workshops
at The Papeterie over the years and made this crafting journey so much fun and memorable...
you know who you are...
the adorable Scissor Sisters
and I couldn't do it without these girls...my "second home" special family...
A huge thank you to Fiskars...Craftwork Cards...The Ribbon Girl and Charlotte and the team at The Papeterie for giving me the opportunity to do what I love...working with fabulous products and meeting lots of wonderful folks and an extra special thank you to all the lovely folks I've met on this incredible journey and it looks as though it's set to continue kicking off with 2 special treats coming my way in the next week or so....I'm so excited...I could crush a grape and will be sharing with you all once I've been there...done it and got the proverbial T shirt...so to speak.
Oops...not forgetting all the lovely crafty folks who have attended The Papeterie Craft Retreats...
which reminds me it's time to get back to the Mega Mission I'd planned to tackle before I got waylaid.
See you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx

  11. Hi Kath, fair enjoyed looking through all your photos again, that one with the snow makes me shiver at the thought of winter creeping back. We should all look back through our old photos, but it would only remind me of how slim I used to be...Trish
