Meeting Donna Downey
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 [...]
Playing with Clay and a GiveAway Winner
One of the classes Mel taught at the recent ATDML retreat was on making your own clay embellishments. Now at first glance I thought Yikes! as did my matey Izzy haha! But true to form I had a go.
