What a day!!!

Man... talk about getting off to a bad start to the day. Mel and i left in what we thought would be plenty of time to get up to Melbourne, only to realise at the second set of lights that we had forgotten our schedule. Thankfully Tom was following us up and after a conversation between cars with windows rolled down, he headed back to get it.
Just before we got towards Point Cook road we hit a complete wall of traffic.. and continued to crawl at snail pace right into the city... it was crazy. What should have taken us about an hour and a half took well over 2 hours. A car broke down on the westgate freeway and stopped traffic dead. What a night mare..
Ofcourse, being the first day of the show, we didnt know really where we were going when we got to the show.. and had to set up our display before the show started at 10am. We didnt drive into the car park until 10.10!!!!!!
Anyway.. he day got dramatically better after that.. we had ladies sitting waiting to do make and takes with us while we were still unpacking... ~L~.... It was such a busy but fun day...

i have just LITTERALLY walked in the door from the first day at the stitches and craft show.. maaaaaaaaan... i dont think my meet know what happened! ~L~... what a busy day.. but what a great day.

Was wonderful to meet some of our customers... meet people who we had won over with our products at the end of our demo/make and take and needed to scoot to the nearest scrap store at the show to stock up... and hear all the wonderful things they had to say about us. I even had one lady squeeling and totally beside herself when she asked me (while i was visiting with one of our customers stands) where a paper was.
The paper she was asking about was a new paper inwhich a photo of me and Miranda together has been scrapped. She looked at the kaiser workshop magazine she was pointing to, to me, to the magazine and then to me again and slowly said "Oh....... my........ god!! Oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!! its her... oh my god.. its you.. " (she at this point scoots off and comes back with her friend) "its the lady here in the photo... look look.. .".then we had more squeeling. .

Hahah.. my two seconds of fame!!!

Anyway.. i found her the papers that she needed to complete the layout, the embellies (as well as some extras) and sold her some of our fozz felt to her as well since i gave her a tip on how to use it after she declared that the queen and co one was crap because it stuck together.

I had another lady come back and stand for about 20 minutes waiting to do ANOTHER make and take at my end of the table.. i fink she wyked me!!! :P

Okay.. i think my head is going to roll right off my shoulders.. im swetty, i and sticky and just feel plain ol' grotty.. so im going to say hello and good night... and hopefully catch up with you all in a few days.
