workshop

Everyone meet at the hotel De Vere on wens evening where we all introduce ourselves.There were folk from FRANCE,  NORWAY, USA,, ITALY, BELGIUM and of course the UK .
After a sleepless night, through sheer excitement of the following day, we all signed in for the morning class with the lovely LEANDRA of PAPER ARTSY and LINDA OF l&B, After a 3 hour class of wonderful  teaching from LEANDRA and LINDA we finished our first project which i will post photo later. .

After a fabulous dinner we the signed in for the one and only TIM THE KING HOLTZ .What a brilliant teacher he is. Nothing was to much for him, he smiled all the way though the afternoon, sign whatever we wanted him to sign, helped whoever wanted help. chatted to us. laugh with us and shared so much of his knowledge with us, i was in complete awe of his wonderful personality,Sad to say the day came to a end at 6.30 and goodbyes were said details exchanged with new friendships that were forged . then on to the motorway home ,heres looking forward to the next event
