Oh what a day we had.
Full of fun, giggles, cake, more cake, more chatting, cake, giggles oh and crafting too, of course!
Myself and my mate, Lisa arrived early, my fault, I plan and am too organised by far (see Julia's photo evidence of my bag!) but I liked that cos it meant I could say 'Hi' as everyone came in and I loved the fact that people recognised me, yes it really was me, that same lady from the photo on my blog!
And so the day started, desks covered in crafty stash, the floor too, a space saved for Helen (Stamping by H) who usually crafts on the floor. Cake galore, tea and coffee poured. Chatter and giggles. Inks sprays and splodges. Sounds of the heat tool, clicking of cameras. Clatter of knives and forks as lunch was eaten (and yummy it was too, says me, little miss greedy who had to have a bit of everything). More clicking, more giggles, more rustle of paper and oohing at work. Did I mention the hugs, plenty of them too. Then before we knew it was time to go again, I'm sure someone stole the day from us as it didn't seem long before the bags were packed again and cars refilled. Then more hugs and photos. And with a smile me and Lisa tootled off home with cake parcels, goody bags, a purchase or two, but most importantly a big smile on our faces, some happy memories and some friendships firmly found.
Right here's the pics, ladies, feel free to save any you want for yourselves, I know we all took lots so can guess we'll all have pics we all want.

For those of you who didn't come along, well you really did miss out so be sure to come next time, because I really do hope that there will be a next time, for that to happen. Hope you enjoyed my peek into the day, I can't wait for others to share their photos too.
Take care Zo xx

Hi Zoe, hope you're not suffering too much today. It was great to meet you.I've pinched some of your photos of me, hope you don't mind
Great photos and looks like you had a lovely time.
What is the fascination with my stuff then? Why has everyone photographed it and posted my bags on their blogs. I only put it in several bags so it makes it easier to find...kinda!
Fabulous day though and great to meet folks.
Didn't they do well?!!!
Nice to meet you and look forward to the next one!
Hugs

P.S. are you going to NEC next month?
It was such a lovely day, meet new friends (though I felt as though I knew so many already) and fab to finally meet you. There was a lot of cake wasn't there!
Hope your not too tired today (cake will help!).
Kyla
What a great day! I love your super organised craft bag!! Is it a particular brand? Could use something like that!
No Sam, I'm not going to NEC, though I'd love to one year! Fab to meet you too. xx
Lovely to meet you too. Of course that's ok. xx
This looks a really fun day, I hope you are recovered now.
I have often wondered, what does WOYWW stand for?

You write well, Zoe! Love the photos, and it was good to meet you finally. You will have to get Lisa blogging now....!
Thank you for letting me know what WOYWW stands for.
I do not have a work desk, I used to use my dinning table but over the years the cardboard boxes have piled up on the table so these days I tend to sit at my ironing board, lol. It's very handy, I can take it into any room but mostly I sit in front of the TV to craft.

Glad you had a fab time - but did you get any crafting done with the fab 3 Fs - fun, friends, & food?! Good ol' Zo - always organised, always early! Love ya :0) Debs xxx
Great to meet you for real and what a fab time it was. Hope you've recovered somewhat but you are certainly a credit to yourself enjoying life to the full as you do and always smiling! When is Lisa joining WOYWW as she's now an honorary member!
Keep crafting, keep smiling!
Love Jo x
Great photos. It was fun e-meeting everyone. It looks like a great time was had by all. Maybe one day those of us from across the pond will join in. Until then, thanks for sharing all the great photos.
Oh it was lovely to meet you and thank you so much for taking photos I will love to download them to my computer! I wish I could go to these things more often! You don't know how lucky you are! Thank you again for the great company!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
