Day TWO in Brissie



Dawned a gorgeous day, and I do mean Dawn, cause I woke up with it...LOL.I am afraid that the room we got was right beside a main ONE WAY road and the traffic went practically all night long, which didn't give me much sleep.UGH.

Anyways, Jus and I were excited as we had our day at PRINTBLOCKS wholesalers doing classes all day with Overseas tutors from Making Memories, K&Co, Imaginisce and Karen Foster.

We arrived by taxi( and he was a lovely driver too),around 8:30am and got the tour of their premises, with some time to shop.Although, as Justine said,we weren't early enough so we will definitely be there earlier next year to shop some more.

Our first class was with Gail Pierce-Watne and Patti from MM.Lovely ladies and I won a prize...woohoo.We shared a table with Cheryl from Tassie and another lovely lady from Perth.

Our next class was with Lynette Carroll from K&Co, and she was an amazingly talented lady, as well as very nice and appraochable.I had not known that she was Aussie before this day.She mentioned that next year, she will be spending 6 months in Australia and 6 months in the USA.She misses Aus.Loved her class she had organised too and what a lot of work she did to prepare it.We got to make ATC and we also get a 7 GYPSIES ATC holder.Can't wait to have a bit more of a play with this.

We stopped for lunch and met two nice ladies who were from a Bricks and Mortar store in Bowen.Had a nice chat with them and then it was back to classes with Shauna Butler and her sister from Imaginisce.Just loved their OTP creations and great products.

Next was Alice Golden from Karen Foster.What a sweet , sweet lady.Not only did she spoil us all with great kits and a bag, but some yummy american choccies as well.Thanks Alice.

We finished around 5pm and then shared a cab with Cheryl and another lady back into town.Unfortunately, we got an Asian Cab driver who couldn't speak much english and didn't really know where he was going.I was getting a little worried that were actually going to make it back to our Apartment.THAT was certainly an experience. Had naughty Take-away fro dinner again, and phone calls from our family.Was getting very very excited about meeting everyone the next day.
