It has been fun packed, exciting, tiring, inspiring & a great opportunity to make new friends,over the past couple of days.
There were over 300 Demos from the UK, France & Germany and a couple from the US.
Some of us met up on Thurs eve for a pre-convention evening, arranged by Natalie & Monica, for their downlines, at the hotel, with Create & Takes, Raffle prizes, started exchanging our Swaps. There were so many fantastic swaps going around and even more when we got to the convention on Friday. These ladies deserve a medal for all their hard work & for putting up with over 100 rowdy & excitable ladies, most of whom had never been to Convention before!!
Here are some pictures from the Convention....

Everyone there had a brilliant time - as well as the Make & Takes, we had Prize Patrols, where you could win a stamp set that had been used to demo a class(guess what..... lucky old me won!! I never win anything usually! I couldn't believe it when my name went up on the screen!).
We had demos, classes & training sessions. There were swaps going on for various different projects- I have never seen so many fantastic ideas! I have taken loads of pictures so I could remember some of the samples & projects, and have loads of fantastic swaps from some very talented crafters!
I can't wait to go to next years conference.... it was announced it is to be held in France at none other than .......DISNEYLAND PARIS! OMG!! I am going to start saving up now.. and set some goals( Natalie will be pleased!)
Will pop back later with some more pictures of some of the fantastic swaps I received...
In the mean time.. happy Crafting
