I set off to Cheshire for a weekend with other crafters who I had "met" through the ATCs for all forum. We had a great time, chatting mostly, but we did spend the whole of Saturday making ATCS and learning/teaching each other new crafts. i learnt that you can make original stamps using cheap Tesco rubbers, I learnt how to crochet and how to make a dottee doll. We are definetly going to do it again, this time in Scotland. A lot of the Americans were interested in going to Scotland and having this Artfest weekend as part of their trip, so I think the numbers will have increased by then. Elizabeth and Margeux, our two Scottish lasses, are going to organise that one. Here are some photos of the weekend.
