Well, after a whirlwind day visit to the land of Cheese & Clogs, followed by 'in-laws' duty in Belgium, I've just fell through the door... I have missed both my blog, crafty space and bed and can't wait to become reacquainted with all three...so for once this could be short(ish) and sweet!
I mentioned I was off to the big Art Specially stamp convention in Zeist in Holland. Look at that spread for a show of restraint... just bit of G45 paper and two Stampington mags...
THE ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHT WAS A EUROPEAN WOYWW FLASH YOUR BADGE MEET-UP!
Franka is on the left,
Marleen in the middle and that leaves little ole round me on the right. All of of us doing our best "Hello Julia!" fan faces. After about ten snaps we all managed to look semi-normal...Do check out their fabulous blogs, different styles and great creations. Hope you like the piccy Julia and can feel a bit proud of your fab
WOYWW?
Here's a piccy of just part of the fair. A stamper's heaven indeed. Carrying around a big baby belly is actually very good for the purse strings.
It was soooo hot in there and after just few hours I was done in and not up for any serious
pushing and shoving...
Just sharing a birthday card I was asked to make for a friend of a friend... It had to be vintage and a bit frilly so I went for an easel card and lots of lace...
All very Sarah style which means lots of distressing, layers and wonky sewing!
Well, I must limit the waffle as I've got lots of sleeping, cleaning, unpacking, tummy measuring and crafting to be done.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone... have a wonderful Wednesday!
See you soon,
Sarah.

*waving like a lunatic* loving the picture...and the flash your badge convention..how fun! I think you were brave to last a few hours...it's not good for the hips, huh! Still a couple of quiet days at home and you'll be right again...and maybe I'll show you what I was doing while you were gone. I was paging through your blog see, and got all sort of, erm...inky ideas...to copy, of course!!

Hi Sarah, sounds like you had a fab time at the show in Zeist and what a super photo of you three ladies wearing your WOYWW badges. Your card is great - frilly and vintage as asked for and a lovely colour mix too. I hope you are well rested now, got your feet up and are browsing through those magazines. Elizabeth x #27
Wow gorgeous card, love it, but then I always love your cards :-). Bet it was great meeting other woyww guests, I can imagine it wasn't very nice in the hot weather with extra baby weight. I'm not surprised your tired, get some rest lol. Well I'm actually really late visiting so I'm sure your well rested up by now. Happy woyww :-) Kezzy xxx
