Altered Art and Exciting News

I've been MIA again, these summer holidays are so bad for my crafting and blogging - do the kids really need this many holidays??
We had another successful Altered Art night on Thursday at The Papeterie - lots of fun and mad crafting going on.
Here are the projects that Kath, Charlotte and myself were teaching....

(thanks to Kath for the pic)
and here are some pics of the ladies hard at work with their projects...

thank you to all the ladies who came along for a fun evening :) here's the link to the instructions for my project - Finnish Star. 


We are having a Papercraft Extravaganza day on Sunday 7th October - Kath, Charlotte and myself will be teaching 3 new christmas papercraft projects. It's going to be busy, so book your place now, call 01224 802337.

So, are you wondering what the exciting news is? well.... The Papeterie has just announced details of their first ever craft retreat - which will be held over the weekend of 21st-23rd September. And it's not just for crafters who live locally, oh no, Charlotte has managed to secure a fabulous deal on accommodation and meals at the lovely Aberdeen Airport Thistle Hotel. So it's ideal for those of you who have always wanted to visit but never been. Tickets are available with and without accommodation.Aberdeen has fantastic road and rail links with the rest of the UK, and there are regular flights from most UK airports as well as quite a number of European and International airports - we even have regular flights to and from Baku :) 
You'll find all the details on the Papeterie blog. Kath and I will be teaching classes, and look out for more info being released soon about other tutors.

I had promised a sneaky peek of the project I'll be teaching on Thursday night, but never got time to post it - sorry.
