The one negative thing to come out of my now working Saturdays instead of Sundays is that it will now be almost impossible for me to get to join my scrappy friends at various crops!
We even sat down to a full Christmas lunch…
…there were two class
projects & two challenge
layouts with random
prizes. Later on there
was a raffle & afternoon
tea with amazing sweet
treats…
It was lovely to put faces to names I’d seen & heard from other scrappy friends, both IRL & in Blog Land. It really was a wonderful day & I felt sad that I’d probably not be able to get there again!
So, imagine how pleased I was that I was given Saturday January 12th as a lieu day for working New Years Day…& that just happened to coincide with the January crop date!!
There was a bit of doubt as to whether I’d feel well enough to go, but I did & I’m so glad I did!!
time with my usual
partners in crime…
…I got to sell (& buy!) a
few items at the ‘Bring &
Buy’ table…pick up a few
bits at the ‘Freecycle’
table….
”But…” I hear you ask…“did you actually get any scrapping done during this social event?”…& the answer is yes!! Ann had created two lovely class layouts for us & here’s what I did with mine…
…& just in case you wondered, here are the two layouts I completed at the December crop!!
The first was a design by (the other) Karen…
…& the second what I did with the first kit challenge…
I still have the class mini book & the second challenge LO to complete!!
Well, that’s me for today…outside my window the snow is falling thick & fast! I have a dental appointment before I pick up the boys this afternoon so I hope the roads remain passable!! After that it can do what it wants…within reason!!
Thanks for stopping by…stay safe & warm…& come back soon!!

See how your lads have grown up since that 2005 Christmas morning layout..love the tags in your New Year layout too.. xx
Love the layouts but I wasn't even wondering about them because I was so excited that 2 of my bloggers had met :) Hopefully you'll be able to make a few more this year!
It was a lovely, productive day wasn't it? Love your layouts.
Hope to see you at another crop sometime soon!
So excited to read about the crop on Deb and Denise's blogs, and now on yours, too! I love it when my blog friends get together :) (I love it even more when I get together with them!!)
They are great LOs. My crop attendance is similarly limited, but due to my daughter's swimming (now replaced by drama) lessons.
What a grand day out! And the layouts are gorgeous.

Good times, eh? Your pages are always so full of life - even when you are following a class it's easy to see where you have added your special spark!
Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all.
Awesome LOs! Congratulations!
Good luck!
Oh what fun it is to . . . scrap. It looks like you had a fab time; those pages are great!
Love your pages Sandi and meeting you at Enfield. Hope to see you there again one day.
