Happy Easter all!

Hope you are all having a lovely Easter Weekend - bit belated but we have been visiting in laws. Sorry my blogging has been a bit slow, I am doing a really intense course for work with coursework, exams etc and we are half packed as we have meant to have exchanged by now! Really not the best time to be moving house but that's the way it is all happening.

Enjoy your weekend/chocolate etc

Craftathon 2013

Every year for the past 3 years a group of us from craftbubble meet up to socialize and craft together. This year was no exception and we had lessons on using pan pastels, making a fabric coaster (and using the sewing machine), using masks and stencils and a maze book. 

we always bring a LOT of crafty stash and have a wonderful weekend with just a small amout of eating/drinking and merriment!

I left my camera (and other stuff) in Kathy's car so HAD to meet up at the lovely Snazzy's in Swindon. We are trying to organize a workshop there so was another great excuse to meet. The workshops look great and there was lots of lovely makes from them!

Right we better start thinking about next years craftathon!
