Miss me???? I know some people did because I have the emails to prove it {lol}. Well I have been back from Brisbane for a few days but I was straight back into classes, Which was not a great idea because I am still a little frazzled from all the excitement of the past week… I had such a wonderful time at the expo and I really enjoyed all my classes and everyone was just so lovely and friendly. I was able to catch up with old friends and make new ones, I don’t want to name drop but one of my new friends is the amazing and talented Zoe Pearn, Zoe is a Paper designer for My Minds Eye Which is one of my fave paper company’s. Her papers are wonderful and I love her Scrapbook style, She is an Aussie designing for an American based company, She designs from her Studio in Brisbane but I thought she was American, So when she started talking I was a little surprised to hear the Australian accent. I am pretty sure this is not the last time I will speak of Zoe {wink}

I want to thank the girls at Scrapapple Angela, Louisa and Stacey for having me teach for them, A huge thankyou to the my classroom assistants essentially Janelle and I really need to thank my Mum who saved the day several times over the week including when we got a flat tyre on my car in the middle of Brisbane and she quite bravely went into a worksite and asked some lovely guys to come and help, While I stood at my car saying No, Mum I can do it myself…. Then the guys come over and I could not even workout where my spare tyre was, Which just incase anyone else drives a PT Cruiser, our spare tyre is under the car {lol}.

I do have a little more exciting news to share about the expo but I can’t spill the beans yet…. As soon as I can I will let you know.

I do have a card to show you after all my chit chat, This is one of the cards that we did in my class this week after I got home. It is just a cute card from the front how you can see the little girl through the Window.

The magic happens when you open it….

Surprise…. A secret message slides over.

Cute hey?
