Back from Melbourne

I'm back from Melbourne.  What a city.  It's lovely, or the very little I saw of it was.  It was such a rush visit, with five classes taught over two days, that I didn't get to see much.  I did, however, get to see over a hundred lovely ladies keen for a whole lot of scrapbooking fun, dozens of different versions of the altered book buffet, hundreds of different pages created from classes I taught over there and a few very good bottles of Malborough Sav Blanc.  Sounds like fun, right?

It was.  And I know there are photos to prove it – if you are one of the lovely ladies that has pics of some of the antics in the class (wendy, email me!), I'd love to post some of them on my blog.

Oh – and those girl that know the lovely lady that makes the bags that I loved (was her name Hayley?) – someone email me her address?  I know you'll know what I mean!

On another note, how did I not know about the new Tim Holtz sizzix dies?  Take a look at them here being used with the Cuttlebug.  I'm trying to get some stock in to sell at Autumn Escape, how cool are they?

I got myself a copy of Tim's new book as a pressie for myself as well.

Short and sweet post today… I'm still shattered after the weekend.  Still head down trying to get Dimensional Details stuff done.  I'm buried in an amazing amount of goodies for the Autumn Escape.  Chocolate.  Flowers.  Paper.  All the good stuff.

Oh – a quick request – I need white or clear 2L icecream containers – anyone got some I could have?

Leaving you with images of one of the classes from the weekend, this was a class called Trinkets.  We created a basic layout that looked like this, but then from there the ladies were encouraged to add more from the Flower Buffet.. yep… more… and add more they did… you should have seen some of the layouts that came out of this class.  Link me up if you see some versions online!

    I had a great time … in your first class for the day on Saturday … first time I’ve ever been able to keep up in a class. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. I love the layouts we did and it’s so nice to have finally ‘met’ you in person after all these years.

    My friends and I enjoyed your classes. We thoroughly enjoyed the day as a whole and it was so lovely to meet you IRL! Unfortunately we missed that last class due to a couple of Basketball grandfinals (won one lost one!)looking forward to the next one.

    Hi Nic!!!! I certainly loved the classes on Saturday. I still need to add photos to the double layouts, but I promise to email you as soon as i have done that. But I did put the other three layouts in my blog. I got my black pen out only for one of them *LOL*. Big hugs and thank you so much for being so wonderful! 🙂

    Nic, thanks so much for a lovely day last Sunday. The classes were very enjoyable. Your work is exquisite and I was honoured to be duplicating your designs. I have snuck a layout into a local gallery but don’t know how to put a link here. Good luck with the DD starting next week. Would have loved to have participated myself. I’m sure everyone will learn a lot and enjoy themselves. Hope to see you in Melbourne again in the not too distant future.
