ONE WEEK LEFT - WOYWW

Oh my! I can't believe that the long wait is just ONE week away. By that I mean, it's one week today that I set off down south for my 'mind blowing' workshop with Artsycrafts and the man himself - Mr TIM HOLTZ .
This will be a crazy week trying to make sure everything is organised. I have birthday cards to make, clothes to sort - including a pair of 'peg leg's' trousers to alter, nails to varnish, housew....., housew...., housew, - sorry I can never get that word out, to do, but the hardest thing of all is, I have a bag to pack. Not sure how to do that because we aren't used to hotels with having the motorhome. I'm scared I'm going to forget something really important like charging my camera battery!!!
My head is spinning because this is when I am REALLY getting excited.
I've started on one of the cards.
I searched high and low for some 8"x8" cards I bought a few weeks ago, but it took 3 days to find them. So much for my clear out and tidy up at the beginning of January!! Anyway, I have them now so I can crack on.
May I just thank everyone for supporting my new blog - http://craftingpets.blogspot.com/  - which started on Monday and will run each week. So far we have gorgeous photos of cats, dogs, pigeons and a hamster. Please take a look and join in if you want.
It is quite possible that I may not make it round to your desk this week. Our lovely Julia will understand I am sure. However, I am also sure you will pop around the world having a peep at the craftdesks out there. I will do my best just the same.
On a note of exasperation, look at what has just turned up in the kitchen.
He's at it again! I am told this one will be red............................

So much to do! It's exciting times....and it's a date for Thurs p.m.! I must make a start on the bag packing at the weekend...but at least there is no need to wonder what crafting stuff to take seeing as we are only allowed to take the scissors!!!

Points of note and packing tips:
1 - select main clothes colour and STICK to it - arrange all accessories around this - good tip for shopping but might be a tad late for that!
2 - remember you are a crafter so looking a bit arty will be fine! fling in the odd scarf or two or three
3 - nail varnish? mine are always painted and mostly chipped so don't choose a dark colour
4 - be yourself in all things and you will shine Joanne
5 - enjoy - we are all insanely jealous
6 - can't he make a wooden crafting workshop for poor crafting cousins? if bored enough

You're going to be so excited on the day you'll probably end up with mismatched sox and odd shoes, so don't worry about it!!! Hope you have a brilliant time, leave the housew... for PL, he'll need something to do whilst you're away!

OMG! You are so lucky! I wish I could be there too! Need to stop and take a couple deep breaths and remember to breathe. Focus on having fun. Don't worry about the house work cause if it is like here it will still be there when you come home. It will all turn out well!
