Convention Update - SO THRILLED

Well, I could have done with more sleep this morning to help recover from the weekend.

I will try and post some pictures of swaps that I received and other piccies too once I have unpacked my camera!

I would like to take this opportunity to THANK my customers and friends for their support and custom over the last year as without them I would not have made it into the:

TOP 25 DEMONSTRATORS IN THE UK

I was placed 16th out of 500 demonstrators in the UK. Still amazed I acheived this and have a new shiny pin for my apron and certificate.

I would like to congratulate my Upline Dawn for being placed 6th and my sideline (SU Sister and Convention Roomie) Kara for being placed 25th.

Will try and find some pictures of the Gala Dinner - I was head to toe in Ness Clothing - for those that know me - no surprise there!

I think I was more excited for them. Kara almost didn't come to convention and had no jewellery with her to walk the stage. Nobody knows where anyone is placed until you get to convention so that made it really exciting. Congratulations to all the other winners too.

Thanks to Dawn for her lovely gifts - very kind of you.

It was great spending time with the rest of the Tartan Stamper team. We laughed, eat, swapped, barely slept, cheered, stamped and had a great time. Thanks girls for the company and memories.

Thanks for stopping by.
