Trying to catch up

and not really getting anywhere. Does anyone else have days like this or is it just me?

The unpacking has finally been done as well as all those yakky chores like washing and ironing so I guess I am ready to go back to work on Monday.

I have a workshop next weekend so am finalising everything for that. Its an event I am really looking forward to especially meeting lots of people I havent met before.

Speaking of which, here is a photo that Paul took of a get together I was fortunate to attend at Chi's home. Chi is a stamping up demonstrator in New York. I was so nervous walking towards her home that I told Paul I didnt know if I could go and walk in to a total strangers home in the middle of New York. How silly was I? Chi and her friends made me feel so welcome and I had a fantastic evening, which was over too quickly. Chi has an amazing place which I found to be a bit like a candy store. Shelves and shelves of beautiful stamps, ribbons, colours okay, I will stop.

I learnt so much, thank you ladies for a great time and, I look forward to seeing you all again. We have already planned to return to New York in May 2010.

I will put up pics of what we did on the night later in the week.
