Europe Convention 2011 - Addington Palace

Well, I got home earlier than expected from convention as I was in too much pain and could not take it any longer...

We (Sandra & I) got to the Hotel Thursday evening and began working on Sandra's swaps! we had a really lovely dinner and joined Jo Dumble's group for a make and take, which was lovely and met a lot of nice demo ladies!

Friday morning it was a rush, as we had to take the coach to the Palace at 7.45am which was pretty early for me, as it takes me hours to actually come out since I suffer from pain. Shellie Gardner - CEO and co-founder of Stampin'Up was there to great us! she was looking radiant as ever, haven't a clue how she manages to keep up looking so calm and fresh!!

Upon registration we collected a sassy retro design goody bag and we also got little badges to say we were 1st timers there..



We also got a chance to buy some goodies at the momento mall - then we went off to get our project of paper, ink and pad completed, and while I was doing that, I saw Kathy walking towards that room, and we greeted each other, we have been friends since 2003 on line and got to meet up finally........... it was really great meeting you Kathy!

We then exchanged swaps - I must say I loved some of the swaps!! Thank you to all the ladies that swapped with me!! I shall get you all pictures of the huge pile I have soon!!

The awards dinner was lovely, I met two more demo's that sat on our table with Sandra and myself - Thank you Elaine and Allison for your company! it was a late night and I was in a lot of pain, so when we got back to the hotel, we made a decision to leave early so that I could get home and rest, and that is exactly what I did - I went to sleep and when I was up took a real hot bath, my Honey cooked a really great meal!!

The next convention for 2011 is in Disney Land Paris!! if you would like to have fun and join into this lovely group of fun crafting let me know!!

More pictures coming up soon!

Well it is Stampin'Up Europe Convention time...

a whole month has passed by, I could not get on to the internet, it has been up and down!! it is still so slow that I get very frustrated and simply don't want to get on the internet.... never mind, I have made a promise to myself, that I will stop moaning about things in my life....

I am heading to the convention which is on the 5th and 6th of November.... I am looking forward to it!!

I am feeling much better, my back pain seems to be behaving itself, but I am still having other problems, and I feel the longer I ignore them they may disappear, but then there is no hope of that, as it get worst than before....

My blog candy that I offered in the month of September was won by Linda Davies, she will be over on Monday the 8th to collect it!! Thank you to all the ladies that took part in my blog candy.

For Christmas there is a new promotion, it is a great promotion as you can bundle up for Christmas.... click on the side bar to look at all the super stuff you can get and also get some ribbons free with the purchase of a bundle... so hurry and get me your orders!!

Here is the link to take a look!!

As usual, I am hoping but not promising to keep up my blog, it has been a tough ride for me for the last few years, and I have finally accepted that I am suffering from FMS (Fibromyalgia) which was diagnosed about a year ago!

As always, thank you for visiting and spending time in my stamping blog world. Your visits, your comments and mostly your support are much appreciated, and as my cyber friend Jaydee says, don't forget, smile at a stranger - it may change their life.
