Gosh, it's hard to believe it's been a week since I spent forty-eight hours in the company of these lovely scrapbookers and crafters (and the most beautiful baby) at our fourth Bloggers' Weekend ... And apologies to those of you whom I didn't manage to capture up close and personal ...
As part of our preparations, we enjoyed a kind of Chinese Whispers for scrappers, known as Pass The Page - it was so intriguing to see all the layouts laid out in order, and spot how themes had developed, grown, faded away and - in some cases - reappeared magically further down the line. And so we're laying them out, in order, for you to peek at too. This is mine ...
If you've landed here in the middle (you'll see I was the recipient quite far down the line), please do go back and see how the thinking developed, remembering that each of us had only ever seen the page just before our own (apart from Julie, at the head of the queue, of course!). Here's our running order ...

Thank-you to all of you who've come over for a look and - of course - to the wonderfully inspiring blog friends :).
Fab photo montage! Love the elements you've taken from my page and then made it in your own style.

What a great way to record us all. I love your page - such a cheeky fun photo - and your interpretation of Fay's page is lovely - keeping the same freshness but very definitely you!

Such a great adaptation of Fay's page - it has your signature style too.
Could I have a copy of that photo of TownMonkey please?

fantastic collage! & love how you've altered Fays page to match your style, it looks so different & yet I can see perfectly where elements came from

Love the page and love all those happy faces I see! So sad not to be there with you all but glad you had a wonderful time.

It's nice to hear you've had a nice break [or any break at all]. I imagine that lifted your creative spirits no end!

It looks like a very inspiring weekend. The cereal tower made me smile, I think it's in the Nana job description to supply supplies for grandchildren. My youngest always comes back from Morrisons or Tesco with a small bag of his own supplies courtesy of Nana.

Of course I couldn't wait to see what you had done with the page; but almost better even than that are the photos of everyone smiling and being busy, working away. How wonderful!

Very nice page. I like your change of the phrase about live / cherries to cereal. I'm going now to wander through the other pages :)

Thought I had commented on this post the day it went up, and just discovered it still sitting on my husband's laptop! It was fascinating to see how the layouts changed, and how little from the first layout ended up in the last one. I love your CAS layout, as well as that delightful photo of the boy with his cereal! That's what grandmas are for!

Your weekend looks so much fun! I would love to join in with that group and meet more of my bloggy friends in person!

Well, this is what I think makes for a super weekend. Thanks for the collage and the look at your page. Sweets for a sweet young man are certainly in order. I'm looking forward to treating myself to reading the oher blogs over the course of the day.
Cheers~

What a great looking collage! It sounds like such a fun weekend! Your pass the page is super cute ~ that's a gorgeous photo of your wee boy!

Looks like a fun weekend! I love your page. Pass the page sounds great fun, I'll come back and look at all the others later (I'm doing Julie's 300 comments in 30 days for October). We do something similar at our crop, but we each pass round a page and add to it. It turns out some interesting results!!

What a fabulous weekend to be surrounded by so many creative people. And I love your layout. That cheeky grin is just scrumptious!

Oh my what a wonderful collage of your weekend - definitely see some familiar looking faces there. I love your interpretation of Fay's page with top and bottom borders and the word Life in script.
