Well that was different!!

Today was Happy Stamper day and we hired a mini bus, which hubby drove and took a group of ladies to Port Sunlight! Some of them had never visited a craft show at all so there were some wide eyes! We all went off in different directions and arranged to met at lunch time! By then most of them had finished shopping so I left them to take their time and gave them directions to the nearby garden centre where we met up later to go home!
It is always great to meet up with friends at HS and I did just that, sorry that we never managed to meet up again Christine - we'll make a better effort next year!!
Now, if you know me you will also know that I like to arrive early and leave when they shut, also I missed traveling with my friends, but....it was different...and I still managed to get some goodies and some bargains which you will see in due course! Best of all the ladies all said they had had a lovely day - I think the Garden Centre cake went down well too! 

 Now to something I made earlier...
I made this tag,

I used Distress ink for the background and then stamped an Artemio stamp in gold paint, followed by another tree using Wendy Vecchi Make Art ink.- depending on the light it either shines or it doesn't!!

    Wow, that really was quite the catch-up... thank you so much for all your lovely comments! I'm in love with this tag... so atmospheric with that beautifully blended sky and the glimmering tree is magical, especially echoed by the gilded edging. Just lovely.

    Lucky you getting to Port Sunlight Chris. How I wish I lived nearer! I really enjoyed it when I went a couple of years ago, when we helped our son move up to Manchester. It sounds like you had a fun day meeting up with people.
    I love your Christmassy tag! I have that Artemio set, the tree is gorgeous.

    Glad you had a good day at HS, I've lost my lift there so doubt I'll ever get there again which makes me feel a bit sad! However we do now have Stamperama in Harrogate in November and that's just five miles away from where I live. Oh nearly forgot to say I love your tag !

    That sounds like an exciting day. You got to take your "kids" on a field trip. Smile. Love the tag Chris. I like the magic winter feeling of the tree. Hugs-Erika
