Phew … all finished!!!

First of all … THANK YOU all SO SO much for all the lovely anniversary wishes – Mr JP was also really chuffed – you’re all GAWJUS :o)!!!!!!

Well, I was going to say “what a weekend it’s been” … but I think “what a month it’s been” is more appropriate LOL!! I’ve just had a fabulous weekend at the show … met LOADS of lovely quilters and even some bloggers too …

Hi Aunty Henny!!

Hi Julie!!

Hi Betsylynne!!

And although I didn’t get a lot of time to chat with these gawjus ladies it sure was lovely to meet them!!! Thanks so much for popping in :o)!!!!

The past month getting everything ready has been so hectic but it all came off like a dream …. it was great fun!! I had my stand next to Nikki Tervo and all her gawjus buttons and patterns (yummm) … and she was telling me she’s going to get a blog going too – so look out for that!!!! This pic was taken before we opened on Sunday morning, with the stall holders wandering around and having a chat … if you look really carefully you can *just* see Nikki waaaay up the back there he he. And in the front of the pic, that’s Margaret from Bayside Stitchcraft [[my local PW store and one of my very favourite places to visit ;o)]] she was one of the wonderful ladies who helped to organise this terrific event.September 2010 138 Now that all the show excitement is over, I have another thing to be preparing for … in just a few more days ….. {{well, 5 sleeps to be exact, but who’s counting he he he???!!}} we’ll be packing these….September 2010 150for our big trip away!! Can you guess which one is mine LOL??? I can’t believe that in just 6 sleeps I’ll be hugging my gawjus DD1 again … it’s been tooooo long!!!

London, Paris, Nice … here we come – WOOHOO!!!!!

Don’t worry, I’m taking my trusty laptop so I’ll be able to keep in touch with you all – and keep up with what you’re all doing too ;o).

How many sleeps for you now Cheryl?????

So exciting.... have you got luggage tags? If not let me know quick quick (with your address) and I'll put some in the post - helps finding yours amongst all the other cases (not that yours will be too hard!) I am always amazed that other people also have the same luggage as me!!

Only 6 sleeps for you now... I'm guessing that's 5 sleeps today...
I have 47 sleeps and my suitcase is boring black. Might have to make some bright pink luggage tags!
How funny, you'll be leaving Nice just as I arrive :) Would've been 'nice' to meet up for a chattee... ha ha ha

Glad the show was a success! Your trip sounds wonderful. You'll have to do like me and pack an empty bag inside of each suitcase. I always shop way too much and need extra bags. Have lots of fun, karen
