I am back!!!!

OK, not exactly the newest and hottest news by now and a few of you have seen me over the week and weekend...

.

With everything else taking precedence {especially packing off orders!!!} this had to take the back seat. So, thankfully my lovely hubby decides to download darling daughter's photos and did me the favour of downloading mine too from the camera to the computer ... and waaaaa lah... here are some shots from Scrapbooking Industry Australia to share with all of you.
.
Of course by CHA's comparison, this was small. But small has its benefits!!!
I like the fact that I'm able to spend more time with each manufacturer; just kicking back and enjoying every moment of it and the Australian hospitality I have missed for so long now. I was also able to attend more classes ... and had the honour of being seated with Rachel Greig (above) at the dinner!

{gaaggghhhhHHH I can't locate the photos showing vintage robots and her robots collection!}
