It's the most wonderful time of the year

Hi all. Blogging for scrapbookers had ended although we're still waiting for the last workbook and many of us are continuing the blogtrains, plus there are a number of future bloghops organised so keep watching.

Anyway today I received an early Xmas pressie. I am going here



for this event next year. What an amazing present huh? To top it all someone we all know and love is taking part.............


of course it's Shimelle, wonderwoman scrapper and teacher.




So if you fancy a trip to Hampshire in May and wanna join the fun go to this link and sign up. See you there.

Now inspired by Lizzie, I have been trawling the web for some bookbinding info and have found some fab videos on youtube. It's really cool what you can see and learn at the touch of a button.
But the simplest video I found was here which is the main blogsite for a traditional bookbinding company in London. They have loads of beautiful paper, thread, leather etc for making books by hand and they also run beginners classes in Wiltshire. I'm going to try and make a nice simple book using what I have here to hand...........doesn't look too hard.

So wish me luck, I'm off to watch Ugly Betty after somemore blog hopping.
