post-CC Wellington wrap up

Wow, what a whirlwind!! Crafting Connection was fantastic. All that prep and it flew by, just like a wedding.

I loved teaching with such an awesome group of tutors...

top row: Ali Edwards, David Roberts, Mary Roberts,
Cathy Zielske, Donna Downey, Faye Gregory
bottom row: Nic Howard, me, Wendy Redshaw-Bruhns

But I think I kinda freaked Cathy out...

The KiwiScraps team had everything under control, despite how it occasionally looked...

How can you not love Rhonda? And her fish nets.

It was great to be in the company of so many crafty, scrapbooking enthusiasts. Excitement all around, I tell ya.

I loved how receptive my students were to my Being Kiwi class, despite being only an Amerikiwi.

The reaction to my greener pastures paper and stamps was incredible. Thanks to everyone who made "my reveal" less scary. I'm so excited about this adventure.

Last but not least, my TA was phenomenal. Stefanie was by my side through it all...the painting, the gorilla filla, the tedious kits, the bleeding hands, listening to my schpiel over and over, and just generally being at my beck and call.

But it wasn't all work and no play for her, I gave her a few minutes break to teach Ali the catepillar face.

Now it all happens again in Sydney, although I get to play TA this time. Next week I'll post photos of my projects. Until then, you can enjoy a few more of my CC photos here.
