Who'd have thunk it?

So I go to the annual trade show at the NEC as part of a lovely, if not very short, weekend away with my hubby. Ofcourse he drops me off in the carpark so I can play in peace and he retreats to visit friends in Solihul. By the way, big thanks to Mike and Caroline White who treated us to a lovely curry Saturday night and arranged the hotel for us too. Kelvin caught up with me for the last few hours of the show and trudged around patiently, especially hard for a non crafter type. As a large group of enthralled ladies watched Tim Holtz intently as he distressed and inked his way through the day but Kelvin remained unimpressed. The fact is, he just didn't get it!



That is ofcourse until we moved over to where Dyan Reaveley was demoing for Ranger. As soon as he took one look at that dark temptress's altered art journaling he was a fan. He's even going to go to her classes.  This week we drove over to her studio in Harrogate so he could stock up on some colour washes...he couldn't wait to make a start.

So the philistine is converted...who'd have thunk it?
