Stampin' Up! Weekend
Hope you've all had a good weekend :) I've had a very enjoyable weekend in Reading and it was nice to see some familar faces from previous Stampin' Up! get togethers and lots of new faces too.
The day started off with a pleasant surprise, as we checked in, we were given a Stampin' Up! carrier bag and in it was a fabulous new .................... from the Mini Catalogue soon to be released on Thursday 1 April!!! As you can imagine, my smile beamed from ear to ear as I peered into the bag to reveal what I saw! It's one of the ................... on my Wish List, so I'm really chuffed with receiving this at the weekend and can't wait to use it. (Sorry for the dot dot dots, I can only fill in the blanks at a later date).
The day continued with swapping our swap cards/fronts/projects with the other Demonstrators and I've come away with lots of different swaps back, from stamp sets I do not currently own yet, to colour combos I've never tried. It really is a lovely way of building up your samples to showcase at your classes and workshops, lots of inspiration and CASing.
The rest of the day was informative and fun, and I'm afraid at the moment, I can't say too much more as there's one more Training/Experience Event to be held in Plymouth on 10 April. We've been sworn to secrecy so that it's a nice surprise for our Demonstrators and Customers and I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone reading my blog :)
As soon as their event has taken place, I'll be sure to upload pictures, especially of the evening event where our customers were able to make a number of lovely Make & Takes!
Anyway, be back soon.
Bye for now,
Alex

Reading For The Weekend
It's been a busy week here for one reason or another, so sorry for being MIA. I am, however really excited as I'm off to Reading for the weekend to meet up with lots of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators for a Training Session tomorrow which should be good and of course a lot of swapping.
In the evening is an Experience Evening put on for our customers, free of charge and an evening of "make and takes", so this should be a really fun day!
Be back later with a picture or two perhaps.
Have a good weekend everyone,
Alex
