Amazing


After an lovely Scrapbooking weekend always run extremely well and Lorraine from The Scrap Cafe is amazing she does a seating plan so there's no fighting over seats and everyone sits with their friends. She makes cakes for us all 14 of them. My friend Nikki won one of the challenges not surprised though it was a brilliant layout.
But to finish off the my long Birthday weekend I was invited by Heidi of Simon Says Stamps to join her and Stephanie for lunch at the Simpson's on the Strand. Heidi was the first person ever to ask me to be on her Design Team in 2009 and I am over the moon that I have finally met such a lovely lady. Not only that to meet up with some amazing talented card makers that I've only met in cyber land and to catch up with Heather, Jo and Lorraine who I have met before was a wonderful bonus.
Thanks Lorraine for the brilliant photo of myself with Heidi, my daughter wonders if somewhere in our family trees are related.


Here we all are with our starters, during the meal Lorraine, Heidi and Stephanie moved seats so that we all got to talk to them.


Thanks Jo for the fab shot of our Roast Beef Lunch which is the Simpsons speciality and yes the beef was gorgeous.


More photos borrowed from Facebook, this time with Jo, Stephanie (Clearly Besotted ) and Lols

See those stairs you watched Lady Mary from Downton Abbey go up there on Sunday.

Hi Debby! It was so lovely to get to meet you in person! All the while I thought you looked like my dad's sister "aunt janet" but didn't want to say anything because you are much too young to be my aunt. So funny your daughter said that about our family resemblance :) Hope you had a safe journey home! :)
