Several months ago, we (Sam, Lin Emma and I) decided that we'd try and get tickets for this show as everyone who talks about it, says it's fabulous... you have to get tickets in advance, and they're limited, so it was a bit stressful - till I met Chris at the WOYWW crop in May who said she was already on the mailing list so is able to order tickets as soon as they're released.... phew... just the trains to book then, as Sam had in January found a great hotel yards from the venue.... sorted!
Friday saw us heading from our various starting points, to Liverpool Lime Street station... (cue visit to t'other blog for the photos)Saturday morning was wet, but by the time the show started, dry... off we headed.
The reason we wanted to keep it secret was to surprise fellow #PAtwits Lin and Christine; which we did, you could hear the screams of delight miles away!Sam, Emma, Lin, Chris and Lin
We also met Massofhair and Keren and Sarah Anderson who's blog I've followed for ages (another ticket enabler if we'd needed her!) but I didn't get any pictures! (Edit - also turns out I met Elizabeth from the DragonsDream Team I'm on,only she thought I was Julie Ann... nice almost meeting you too, Elizabeth!)
Thanks for a great weekend girls, lets do it again sometime somwhere!

Great post Helen and as always fab pics xx
Another lovely post Helen and a fab time had by you all. Nice little bundle of stash you got there. Love those Lavinia toadstools. I have a confession, lol! I love Lavinia stamp designs especially the fairies and toadstool houses as well as the plants and foliage and have quite a collection for someone who uses them but once in a blue moon, He! He! I just never seem to get the time to use them!
I'm so hoping the PaperArtsy stand has all the latest goodies on at StampMagic in two weeks. It definitely didn't seem as big at the spring show.

What a fun time!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Helen I am so envious of your meeting up with other WOYWW'ers what a fun time you all seem to have had. Oh and the sights of the stalls and people all fun, fun, fun. Now I understand your secretive ways. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs Eliza
It was great to finally meet you IRL! Glad you had a good time and love that you surprised your friends so effectively :)
Looks like you had a wonderful time, so pleased for all of you.
I had this post in my browser when the power went out early this morning. Just now getting it restored, so had to start over.
I enjoyed the photo side, and now I'm enjoying the craft side. You couldn't resist picking up a few bits and bobs, could you? I suspect you spent more on craft supplies last weekend than I spend all year. You realize how much I admire seeing all the new stuff you buy. I look forward to seeing what you do with the bird house.
Not heard of this show before, sounds like a great trip.
