I’m just home from Germany…. Phew! I’m exhausted!

What an amazing time I’ve just had in Germany with my Stampin’ Up! pals, old and new.

Once again I’ve had the privilege of joining my fellow team members and crafters from around the world at a Stampin’ Up! event. This year’s European venue was in Dortmund.

Several days with a fun packed daily event program, including crafting, watching stunning demonstrations, business talks, indoor fireworks and drumming entertainment,  along with swapping handcrafted items and cheering each others successes.

Late nights and new friends.

I have chattered about crafting from dawn and on into the early hours most nights. I’ve caught up with many wonderful friends from round the world and made new friends which is such a treat. It’s amazing meeting new people at these events as we all share an instant connection. We share a love or art and crafting. With the new mini catalogue in hand   ” ohhs”  and  “ahhhhs” and lots of pointing brings us together no matter what our native language. Watch this space later in the year because the New Year will start with a huge bang as I introduce you to the new papers, stamps and much more as the mini catalogue goes live. I’m just sorry we are sworn to secrecy till then.

Shopping and socialising at Essen’s Christmas Market.

We even managed time off from crafting one evening to visit the Christmas market in Essen. Plenty of mulled wine and hot chocolate crepes, and some of my favourite ladies for company just perfect.

I really do urge you to consider joining this wonderful group so you too can come to the next event  email me hi@gillyhunt.com  for details.
