Melbourne Convention Snap Shots

The absolute highlight for me was hanging out with our wonderful team mates from Just Add Ink. I just hope I can catch up with the other four members at some stage as it was such a blast getting to know these fabulous ladies.

Our Kind-Hearted Volunteer Photographers (dubbed the Paparazzi)

The guy on the far right was the official photographer and you can see a photo of us on Shelli's Blog. Seriously, how cool is that???


I just love this photo of Delys and Paula, the two NZ gals on the JAI Team. It was taken just before the first main session.


Here's Sharnee Torrents (a fellow Tassie friend/demo/'side line') doing a Workshop WOW on stage.


We were in awe of her torn paper frame demonstration. Super job!!!


Jodene and Paula waiting for the Make 'n' Take Session to begin

I had a lovely photo of Cathy Clark and Peggy Quarmby from WA too but just realised it contained pictures of Sneak Peeks that I couldn't 'crop' so will have to share another post at a later date. Sorry girls :(


Don't you love this? A Diet Coke accompanied by a piece of pavlova and cherry ripe slice. It was fun to dine out at the Crown for a couple of nights.


Bonnie Thurber is my all-time favourite presenter from Head Office and I think this was the 'Birds and Bees' talk she gave which was extremely entertaining.


Delys got to share her expertise with her amazing scrapbooking samples. I just loved watching her do a variety of brilliant techniques. You rock, Delys!


It was great to meet the lovely, Melissa Davies, one of our regular challenge supporters at Just Add Ink.


My 'Partner in Crime'


I forgot my camera for the dinner so I've pinched this photo from Jodene :)

Far left is the gorgeous, Christine Blain, who is also a wonderful supporter of our Challenge Blog and Tina Gillespie (Third from Back Left) who was a Guest Designer with us last month. The very vivacious, Moana Dawson is the chick on the far left at the front. I had such fun sharing accommodation with her, Delys, Paula, Andrea (Delys' sister) and Mae. I couldn't have asked for a better bunch of 'roomies' and have never laughed so hard in all my life!! We must get together again real soon!!

Well, that's just a small sample of all the photos that I took. I hope you enjoyed having a browse through my snapshots.

I would really love to try out some of the wonderful ideas that were shared at Convention but that will have to wait until the June Holidays as I'm now busy with report writing and our DD turns 18 on Saturday!! There are never enough hours in the day to craft!!!
