Back from the HLS Craft Retreat

At the weekend, I went to Swindon for the Happy Little Stampers first Craft retreat organised by  Kylie, their head honcho.... from Australia!
How she managed to do this from the other side of the world is nothing short of amazing, but the whole weekend went smoothly with a great time had by all!
Here you may spot some familiar faces...  Anne (ex DT from Less is More) and Sarah, Anita and myself as current incumbents. 
A very famous face amongst us is the inimitable Darnell from California, can you spot her? and Melissa (Honey Bee Lane) who drove up from Germany with her family to be there!
The table displays the cards we made collectively... we were working with Brusho for much of the time and it was really fun!

Here are most of the ones that I made. We did a lot of sharing of resources, which was great fun in itself, but I think that there have been quite a few purchases as a result of doing this!
Darnell was crowned  Miss USA, but graciously let me borrow her regalia!
Well done Kylie for a great job done!
