I have just started to make the four models that I'm showing at the day. None have been taught as yet and only three have been posted onto the forum.
Only one will get explained at the day, trouble is which one?
Fingers crossed they will last and look OK for Tuesday, plastic bags here they come.

how I wish I could attend but I am a few thousand miles away.....all the best to this event and looking forward to seeing all the photos ..

What a fabulous day! I enjoyed all the tutors and I got a lot from the day (even as a twister!). There was such a generous and friendly spirit in the room. It was really something special and I was very happy to be a part of it. What a great community we belong to.

Feeling the balloon love,

I have just got home myself from the event, I stayed at Thelma's last night and we twisted Geo's all day today and got a couple more things for the new DVD coming out soon.
When I say soon that is within maybe the next year  

There certainly was a cross section of designs for both twister and decorator and raffle prizes, well I lost count at how many prizes there were. I won three but one was one of the BAG DVD's that I donated so we put that back into the raffle and someone bought it for £35 so that was nice. I think Keith, one of the instructors bought it. I do have many pictures form the day so will start posting them shortly.

Sorry if I did not get around to chat with everyone but there was so much going on and little time for a chin wag what with taking pictures and getting ready myself.
I think everyone must have got something from the day, so what was everyone's favourite, I liked the design by Fiona Fisher, simple, elegant and I think very usable in the real world but then again I'm no decorator but that was the one that caught my eye.

I took 5 designs up with me and the dog is the new one that I made a few weeks back and did not post,
we changed the design again today and I think now I'm happy with the way it looks.

The other two idea's and Luc getting the aero pole arch ready,

The second picture made me laugh, can anyone spot it?

Some pictures from behind the scene's,

The feet were changed in the two elephant pictures, more shaping on the second one,

And a little baby elephant as well, Mark and Linda sorted the raffle prizes out all day and there were many and kept it moving along nicely.
Julie won one of the raffle star prizes, I think it was the mag pole.

Martin won quite a few prizes on the day and also put some back into the auction which was very nice of him so that more money was raised for the appeal.

Thelma was the third lecture of the day,

Everyone working away with Thelma's Levett link minion design,

A nice picture of Tess,

The minion was a big hit at the day,
