Part 2- Brisbane Expo

After meeting and doing some way awesome shopping on Saturday.....we headed back to Leanne's stopping for pizza & some red along the way. Ended up scrapping the night away and miss A giving Leanne some photo editing education....miss A is one handy person to have around, not to mention she's an absolute BLAST!

Sunday we went into Southbank, had a huge coffee, picked up  Leanne's daughter Jenita on the way and later met with miss A's brother, Jeff and her cousin Julie...wandered around the markets had a bite to eat and had a little walk along the river....all very enjoyable. We then walked back to the convention centre, where Annette, Jeff and Julie parted ways..Annette was going to a little family reunion.
Mary, leanne and I headed into the lifeline book fair to have a browse...oh my lord...books of every description.
 Monday we were back at the Expo around 11ish...listened to a scrap talk by Kerryn Leworthy...picked up a few good tips....very interesting stuff.
12-2pm our first class with Angela Peardon.... 2 hours has never gone so fast...it was intense but fun. I'll put a pic up of it once I get some on my camera.
Had a bite to eat...Jess Mac joined us...she is just sooo lovely/gorgeous!
We, (Mary, Annette, Leanne and I), hit our next class with Rachael Grieg....again awesome stuff, really enjoyed that class as well, again I need to take pic's of the cards we made then I'll post.

Felt totally exhausted be the time we got back to Leanne's. Had dinner then we watched a movie which had references to scrapping in it....New In Town.
 Tuesday, the long trip home. Miss Mary had to leave a few hours earlier as her mum wasn't well and she needed to get to Orange asap.
 Miss Annette and I had agood trip the only pain was on the bus from the airport to Orange the driver set the bus temp to 36 degrees....was nice for a bit. Miss A soon told him..remember it's so cold here in Orange we could have got rather ill going from 36 down to like 5 degrees.
 Roy and my children gave me huge cuddles and long ones too which is rare here.

Also wanted to show you a couple of   layouts I've  done for Craftqueen.
