And of all things to happen (or rather NOT to happen) Donna Downey was scheduled to be teaching a series of workshops over the two day weekend at Your Touch of Craft. All the build up and the excitement and just before it was set to take place she called to say she couldn't make it. Like so many people around the globe she is stuck and unable to get flights home (or anywhere else for that matter). Right now she is in Germany with no way out. Amanda even has guests staying in her Florida home right now who were due to fly back but they'll have to stay longer cos they can't get a flight home either. Nothings moving in or out right now.
Despite cancelling, several of the girls had booked hotels and made plans to attend for the whole weekend so they came anyway. Amanda had already arranged the food so she kindly hosted in store for those that wanted to craft.
Everyone worked on making a canvas album and there was some real creativity going on here. I should've taken a few photos of pages cos I sneaked a peek at a few of them and they were just gorgeous.
You can just about make out the banner Amanda had made to advertise Donna's coming hanging in the front window. Donna was even nice enough to phone and spoke to everyone on loud speaker so they at least got to hear her voice. It wasn't quite the same as having her there in person but she has rescheduled for October when she'll try again so watch this space!
The day wasn't all bad. Amanda had ordered a whole bunch of these pretty cupcakes for the day and they were super yummy! I didn't take photos of all the other yummy goodies on offer but I had a double helping of the chocolate cake so you could say the day was absolutely DELICIOUS!
Rosemary adds all kinds of sparkly glitter and edible decorations to her cupcakes. They look so pretty and they always go down a treat!
Maybe next time I guess!
