Yes I am back in the good old US of A. My journey started in Moline, Chicago at the fabulous Scrap booking Studio, where I taught 4 art journal workshops
The lovely Lynne made sure I was well catered for...
Now that is Dylusional...
I then hot footed it to Ranger Headquarters
where I caught Patti sorting out me kitchen rolls
And then it was off to Long Island to revisit The Scrappers Playground and the lovely Sue
The fabby Terry was my bitch..ermmm assistant for the weekend and did a fabulous job of keeping me under control.!!
Always sad to leave this lovely lady, the gorgeous gorgeous Dee Momma, my adopted Mam, who celebrated her 75th birthday last week.
And what can I say about the fabulous Renee.??
Oooops seem to have left my mark...
After 2 full days of teaching we had a 4 1/2 hr ride to Boston where we were teaching at a retailer group event. I arrived at 1.30 in the morning to find a man already sleeping in my bed...!! Room service has changed a lot these days lol. Anyway after a quick new allocation of rooms, I was rested and ready to go again.
I was wearing a stunning vintage dress especially..love it and feel fab in it.
Met up with some lovely peeps, fellow Brit and Twiglet lover, the fab Michelle.
The gorgeous Jen Starr, who now fits quite comfortably under my heaving bosoms...
Coleen from Viva
And me lovely old mucker Shari, always makes me laugh....can't wait for Vegas, lmao
Heres the best way to clean 200+ stencils..
Here we are ready to go the next morning, teaching 100 retailers. Tim had to come and rescue my projector as you all know how bad I am with technology.
And then it was time to repack the car and take the 5 hr trip back to Ranger. We had a quick 5 minute stop for a freshen up.
Tim treated me to the latest iPad, but for some reason I can't seem to get it to work properly.!
So we are now camped at Ranger for the next 10 days, prepping, designing, sorting and creating.
And hows this.? I get to look at two of my fave guys all day long..
And I have just pinched this pic from Mario... We are all ready to go tomorrow...
Enjoy xx

Did the guy in the bed have a "welcome to USA, what happens in ..... stays in ..."
I'm still thinking I never got the "room srvice" that you got...did you have to pay extra for him? Loving all the cute mustache pictures!
