A friend and I went to the Happy Stampers Show at Port Sunlight yesterday and we had a fabulous day, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The show opened at 10:30 and we were in the queue by 10:20, it finished at 4:00 and we left at 3:40, the first time I've ever stopped at a show all day. The highlight for me was watching Jo Capper-Sandon demo on the Happy Daze stand along with Joanne Wardle.
They both very kindly asked if I would like them to make me something (of course I was thrilled to bits) and this is what they did

Thanks to both of you and of course Moira, I think the results are wonderful, especially when you think it only took them a couple of minutes to make. I have to spend ages thinking about what I'm going to do, but it comes so naturally to them. Spent far too much, but don't we all, bought 9 Stampotique stamps and of course others. There was an American stamp company called Stamp Camp who had come over the pond especially for the show and I bought some fantastic stamps from them, which I'm sure I will be using in the weeks to come, such different stamps that I've not seen in the UK before.
Well I'm off down to my daughters this afternoon for a few days, taking some journaling stuff with me just in case I have any spare time.
I am thrilled to bits that over the past few days I have been feeling soooooo much better, almost normal and I've got everything crossed that it continues, but having spent all those hours at the show yesterday, even though I had to keep sitting down, was fantastic and being able to drive for 3.1/2 hours this afternoon, well I just can't believe it. I can't stop smiling....think I'll have to journal about this, lol.
Hope you're all having a good weekend.
I am delighted that you feel so good - long may it continue! The Port Sunlight show sounds fabulous, shame it is at the wrong end of the country for me. Sounds like you came away with quite a haul! Have a great time at your daughter's and find time to journal.
