Friday evening we all stayed up late putting the finishing touches to the packages for Steph's Papertrey Make and Take - here we are with Caryn doing some last minute stamping in Steph's AMAZING craft room!
Then Saturday morning came (after not much sleep lol!) and we were out the door early for some last minute food shopping for the afternoon, and on to the hall to prep for all our stamping guests!
There was 29 of us in total - here we all are raring to go!!
It was so fabulous to meet so many familiar faces from blogland!
Here's Claire:

Ally and Jeanette:
Kim (right) and our lovely friend Jo:
And finally here we are with Steph and our lovely friend Dawn - poor Dawn has been ill for several weeks so it was fabulous she could make it!
I'm sorry we weren't able to get pics of everyone but we were running around so much and just didn't get around to it! Steph and Caryn both have lots more pictures on their blogs too!
Steph had prepared some fabulous projects using Papertrey Ink products for the Make and Take - here's what we made:
The afternoon went way too quickly and sadly we had to say goodbye to everyone - thank you so much to everyone who came, especially those who made long journeys, hopefully you all enjoyed your afternoon and enjoyed playing with some PTI goodies!
On Saturday evening we had a girls night in - PJs, chocolate, champagne and chatting into the early hours!
On Sunday we were up early again to head to Bluewater for breakfast, a touch of shopping and .... NEW MOON!!! We are all HUGE Twilight fans having read the books very recently and had been bursting with excitement about it for weeks!
Here we are at breakfast:

Needless to say the film was amazing, and we all reverted to being hysterical teenage girls, (should have taken more tissues!)
Phew, what a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much to Steph for being such a wonderful host and for all your hard work and generosity, and to Caryn and all the wonderful ladies who came to the Make and Take!
