Many thanks to all who came along to the line work day and to see Mr Rob Driscoll this week,
very much appreciated and we do hope everyone had a great time. I will start adding the
pictures slowly as it takes me a few days to catch up with things once we get back home.

It was then onto session two and people, Rob very kindly made a little Norwich City player which is the football team I support.
Although they did get relegated from the premiership again this weekend, still once you support a team you never change...
"On The Ball City"

Rob brought up an entry from Tracy for the competition. We had two winners, Kathryn and Amanda.
Everyone at the day has a vote to decide the winner and we get an official adjudicator to verify before we announce any results.

That's all the pictures I took from the day's, many thanks to all who came along to join in with the two days of fun.
It is always appreciated and I do hope everyone picked up a tip or design or two to use back in the real world.

Thanks to Rob for giving us a really nice fun balloon day with plenty of usable designs along the way and a few laughs as well.
Wendie, he he............. we Thank You XXxx
