It was a beautiful day in July and Stampin’ Up UK’s business development Manager, Helen Slimm, had organized a crafting day for demonstrators in Lincoln. It was limited to 65 demonstrators and tickets for the event sold out in a day! I was lucky enough to be one of the 65!
The event took place in a bowls club in Lincoln (great social venue after a game), had plenty of parking and was ideal. Just not sure they were expecting 65 very excited, noisy women…..especially as some people were bowling during the day!
During the day, there was an opportunity to exchange ‘Swaps’ among other demonstrators. You decide whether to make any swaps, a few swaps or like me enough swaps for everybody there, including the lady from the kitchen who was cleaning up after us!
These are the swaps I made;
Make and Takes
During the day, 4 demonstrators had worked hard at making instructions for us all to make 4 different projects. the stamp set Spotlight on Nature was used on all 4 projects, and strangely I had used the same set for the majority of my swaps. We also used this years In color card and ink for the projects.
These are what we made on the day;
Swaps I Received;
Here are a selection of the swaps I received.
Lunch was a great time to talk to lots of people, share thoughts and ideas and generally put the world to rights!
During the afternoon, we had a couple of presentations, one about new products and workshop ideas and the other more about business building.
Over all, it was a fabulous day. I met lots of new people, got lots of inspiration and made several new friends. Here’s hoping they do more of these events!
