...and I am shattered but it was a great day. Lots of walking around and people, not many freebies or mega great offers but enough B&P to make me happy.

I sulked because DH was meant to have DS so I could come on here and make stuff for stall and then got out of it by doing to building (he is builder) stuff for neighbours FFS. Very Very annoyed.

Not much really...

Brads, charms for making wine glass charms, backdated scrapbooking magazines, circle punches and a mini paper cutter. And some gifts for DH for Christmas. Got some fiskar freebies- scissors and cutting stencil, and some peel offs.

Just enjoyed the day really, it was very busy but everyone was friendly and picked up some ideas. Think it needs to have more demos though. And gazed longingly at the sizzix big shot!

pootle which arena did you go to? There were two craft fairs there this weekend....one had lots of classes.

Classes...no one told me about classes.

Guess it was the one without the classes. It was the crafts for Christmas, hobbycrafts and art materials. We skipped the cake one.

Well it was those arenas and there were certainly people sitting down doing stuff...but think they booked on the day IYSWIM. There was a stall doing scrapbook-paintpots (there's probably a posh name for that) that looked very exciting and some other stalls. It took us from 10:30-4pm to go around all the stalls, let alone do any crafting!
