Hand Crafted Memories

I signed up to the Big Idea Festival that started yesterday. Class one was a door cone, its a schultüte which is a paper cone filled with school supplies and little gifts to celebrate the first day of first grade in Germany.I thought this would be more geared to Scrap booking, but its not looking like it. I think I'll dip in and out of this one depending on what the project is.I'm thinking this will look nice with a lovely little posy in it, just right for the hostess of the BBQ I'm going to tomorrow. I'm hoping to get some of the challenges over on Shimelle's blog, she's issuing a few challenges through until Monday , go here for the details. She is doing both scrap booking and photography challenges and with prizes!

I love free, don't you? I really like attending retreats, I think you learn so much and its fabulous to spend time with like minded people. I always come away full of ideas and totally motivated. Problem is they can be a bit expensive. I was so pleased to find a posting on UK Scrappers about the Big Idea Festival. Go here to see all of the free classes and to register. A whopping 39 projects, I'll say that again 39 projects, even better you can use your own stash. I've signed anybody with me?
