Hi Rach

This is a great show to go to. I have been a couple of times and have really enjoyed it. Yes there is loads of new stuff i will be going again this year and i have all ready started to save my pennies as last time i ran out of money lol.

Here is a link to craftwork cards who are running it. THere is a list of all the stalls that are going to be there.

I went 2 years ago, just after I moved from card making to scrapbooking, and loved it.

Unfortunately health problem stopped me going last year, and the same health probs (plus finances) are stopping me going again this year

I'm consoling myself with a Pergamano class at local craft shop on the Saturday instead

maybe we should wear badgers with uks and our 'name' on be nice or silly?

Well, quite a lot of us wore penguins in some guise or other last year, but I didn't see any other 'customers' wearing them, just one of the exhibitors, and no one spotted mine - I made penguin earrings on acetate, but they may have been a bit too subtle!!

Not sure where the penguin theme came from, but I know it originated from the Leeds scrappers!

I'm looking forward to all the new exhibitors this year, as well as the old friends, it sounds particularly good.

I'll be there - would love to meet some fellow ukscrappers - themed badges sound like a great idea

what day are you going Eileen? - think we will be SUnday again

Not got brain in gear to know which day I'm going - will have to check things like fencing competitions!

The current list of exhibitors is:

Craftwork Cards - The Art of Craft - Crafters Companion – Art From The Heart – Once Upon A Stamp – Stamps And Memories – The Stamp Man – A Touch of Craft – Giles Craft Kits – You Create – Crafty Corner – Dimension Fourth – LB Crafts - Mei Flower – Simply Stamps – Brothersleep – Lily Of The Valley – Giglin Gecko – Stamposaurus – Evies – Dianne’s Die Cuts – Card-Io - Clever Cuts – Centagraph – Sir Stampalot – Button-it – Craft Habitat – Crafty Individuals – Stamp Addicts – Ribbon Box – Hobby Horse – Oyster Stamps – Scrapbook Village – Imagination – Banana Frog – Lavinia Stamps – Glitter Magic – The Craft Bug – The Craft Basket – Clarity Stamp – WS Designs – Ideal Envelopes – Horseshoe Crafts – Craft Paper & Card – Which Craft? – Patsy May – The Craft Zone – Davlock Crafts – Practical Publishing

I know Banana Frog is a first and I fear I am in for some serious spending!

I was one of the penguin ladies

Forgot about them till you mentioned it rofl

I was thinking of going, then second thoughts as it is quite far to go but now read the list of exhibitors I'm tempted again

Need to find more money though to spend

**Mell_C** · 01-09-2007, 08:09 PM

One of my team mates bought all the team who went last time a penguin pin. The only thing woz they were small so i dont think people saw them.

Maybe we should put ribbon on to or bags

I wasn't a member of this forum last year, but I did read a few posts when I'd been searching for info on the show and read about the penguins. I spent the whole time trying to spot penguins and was disappointed not to see any. It also took some explaining to the friend I went with that I was trying to spot people I didn't know, from a forum I wasn't a member of, who would be wearing penguins, and no, I wasn't going to speak to them or anything, i just wanted to 'spot' them

**Kirsty262** · 01-09-2007, 08:13 PM

If I go I am going to wear my t shirt which is black and says "Leeds Paper Dolls on it" like my avator so you will see me
