Err, yes, no, shall I, shan't I, OK then, here I go ... And I went. And was I glad I did! These wonderful scrapbooking friendships, some a decade in the sharing, were both a tonic and an inspiration ... (Click for a sharper view).
For some years, I've made a 'magazine spread' - 2013 here and here, 2018 - to celebrate and honour our time together. It's beginning to feel a bit of a tradition. And although there were fewer of us than in previous years, as blogging has ceased to be part of the lives of some of us, we've already booked in hope for next year ... With grateful thanks, as ever, to you all :).
What lovely, happy faces! It looks like a great time was had by all!

It certainly looks like a good time was had by all. What a blessing that the friendships survive, change & continue.

Always a treat to see you pop up in my reader!
And what a marvellous spread to record what was obviously another successful crafty weekend!

Oh, how lucky to have had such a wonderful time with long-time and like-minded friends! Loved the photos and the commentary. I finished my 2018 Project Life book, and decided it would be my last. Not sure what's next for recorded keeping. ALWAYS delighted to see you pop up in Feedly! And thanks for the kind comments on my blog. They are appreciated!

This was such a boost in my feet from major houseworking. Such a brilliant idea. Wish we had one for the very first year when we all met, that was epic. Is it ok for me to download this and put it into this year's December album Alexa? I can't even remember what I was doing, was it the stitched star? I've found some others to try lol.I've even considered a bit of blogging! Big scared though xxx

This looks like a lovely friendly crafting group.
It's a wonderful idea to create a magazine spread Having read all the contents I was really wanting to read the rest of the "magazine".

What a lovely spread to commemorate what was clearly a joyful craftfilled gathering. I actually recognize the middle 4 in the photo from blogging days gone by, Miss Wookie, Jo, you and Becky. And as always I love your lyrical way with words.

Absolutely wonderful again Alexa! I do love these! And it was lovely to have your company again this year. Looking forward to seeing you again next year xx

Such a lovely spread! Looks like y'all had another great time.
I do miss the days when more of us were blogging.
