lots of fun and laughter in the company of wonderful crafty friends...
making fabulous projects with Andy Skinner...Brenda Brown and Mark Gould...
But all good things come to an end...I was sad to say goodbye to all my MOM friends and set off on the long journey back home. And the bit I always dread...the boring flight...trapped for an hour and ten minutes with the "technology has killed the art of conversation" brigade noses stuck in their I-Phones. A great big thank you to Flybe for saving my sanity on this occasion by sitting me next to a YOUNG decidedly HUNKY and very CHATTY oilman on his way to a 3 week stint on the rigs...coffee and good company are a great mix and before we knew...it was gear down and 5 minutes to landing. What a gentleman and credit to his generation...he insisted on carrying my very heavy "yes there was a bit of crafty shopping done over the weekend" bag off the plane...through the airport and out to the taxi rank. How refreshing it was in this "I'm alright Jack...sod everyone else" world we live in to meet such a lovely kind young man.
But it's back to reality and the day job again...catching up with the weekend laundry...the neglected household chores and a new week of crafty deadlines...however...not entirely all doom and gloom...there are memories of fun times with lovely crafty friends to treasure and "I just couldn't help myself" purchases and goody bag contents to drool over...
and not one but two happy mail parcels from Simon Says Stamp arrived in my absence...
woohoo at last I've got my hands on the Distress Marker Storage Tin and I can't wait to try out Tim's new Distress Mixed Media Heavystock and Eclectic Elements threads.
Every cloud has a silver lining and there are definitely perks to being back in my "just me and the Furry Boy" crafty space again.
Catch up with you all soonHugs Kath xxx
