Well here I am at last my lovely friends and blogging buddies. After spending time with some of my blogging friends at the Tim Holtz workshop, I can recommend it as the greatest tonic a girl can ask for. From start to finish I had one of the best times in my life. Annie and I arrived on Wednesday along with some of our blogging friends and really it was like meeting up with friends you have known for years. The workshop was not till the Thursday, so we had lots of time to meet up with the others. We had afternoon tea in the sunshine, and dinner at night in the best company ever, (who needs men to enjoy ourselves) including Jenny ( buttons) Brenda Brown, Jennie Boxhall , Annie and myself with Kath Stewart and Olive joining us later along with Christine Bedford. We laughed till the tears ran down our cheeks and came up with some fantastic ideas that you'll all hear about in due course. At breakfast on Thursday we could hardly eat, due to the excitement of meeting up with our mentor for lots of inky fun. From start to finish it was frantic and fantastic all rolled into one. Again we met lots of blogging friends and put faces to names.
I have lots of pictures for you to see, some were my own and some were courtesy of Brenda, Kath, Buttons and Christine. Hope you have all been enjoying your crafting. Hugs Rita xxxx

Just to say I don't have a lot of time at the moment as DH took a nasty fall downstairs and his face and ear got the worst of it. This happened on the Thursday of our workshop, and although we knew about it, we did not know the extent of the injuries. So please bear with me and I will be back to-morrow with the Workshop pictures. Rita xx

Oh no Rita! Hope hubby is on the mend and feeling better soon. What memories you have shared! Love the photos (though I always hate the ones of me, especially when the camera is almost on top of me!!) Meeting up with you all was the best and we need to do it again sometime.
Take care of yourselves, hugs Jenny x

Hope DH gets over his fall soon, you see it is not safe to leave them on their own. You look as if you had a great time catching up with everyone and Tim looks a happy chappie. Look after DH.
