Design Recollections

Last weekend I did a few classes at Scrap A Ganza in Stratford. After reading all the reports on the issues at Holland the week before I did wonder what I had let myself in for? After the weekend I could safely say that although there were issues, they were no where near as bad as the Holland reports.

I stayed Friday and Saturday night with a lovely friend Angela who lived not to far away. I was treated so very well and was really grateful for all the kindness both Angela and her lovely husband David showed me. Thank you

The highlight for me was meeting and taking classes by Donna Downey. I can honestly say that I am not a great follower of celebrity scrappers but Donna has always been a favourite. She is a lovely person as well as mega talented!! (Such a gorgeous family too) 

I really enjoyed the 2 classes she taught. In one there was an issue over paint, not enough of it to be precise, and it meant that the most we could really do was prepare of books to finish at home. Not Donna’s fault and she still made it a fab fab class, just wait until you see the finished book

The ‘Year in my Life’ class was 4 1/2 hours over 3 sessions and the most I managed was Jan - June, not bad for me I thought ha! Not the greatest of kits again not her fault but delivered with great style and humour and as an extra bonus a few of us were treated to a masterclass in ’skinny’ photo posing hahaha!

Much more to come on SAG and of course me new mate Lance Anderson, none other that Mr Rusty Pickle himself (Loved his classes both at SAG and the ScrapGenie Training Day on the Monday following SAG) 

I have many things to finish and in a week that was way busier than I planned it to be meant I have not touched a single project since, not like me at all but this weekend I am going to have a go at finishing at least one thing. 

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity and drama, I pray for a clamer time ahead as I am surely going to run out of steam very soon.

Until later xx
