Checking in from Paynesville ~ "Oh what a night"

WOW......What a fun filled night we had last night in Spotlight Bairnsdale!

Carolyn made the trip down with me and we sure had a fun night with the BAIRNSDALE Spotlight staff and customers........this store has great leaders in Kelly(store manager) and Coral(craft manager)........and it was obvious from the moment we arrived in store that we were in for a fun night of crafting!!

The whole staff were enthusiastic and passionate about what they were doing......and after being invited for dinner before we started.....we had some laughs and fun before the doors opened.

 

        

Here's Kelly on the phone which she was using all night as a loud speaker to announce door prize winners.......this lady is so enthusiastic and passionate about what she does and the rest of her staff are amazing.....well done to all of you ...and thanks for making Carolyn and I so welcome.....we had a great night and were flat out all night with Make'n'takes,,,,tools demoing......and just sharing our love of crafting with others in the EAST GIPPSLAND area.......thanks everyone!! xoxo Lyn

Honk Honk.......

Hi everyone,

Just checking in from down here in East Gippsland where Carolyn and I are having a lovely crafting time by the water.......

Well....what fun we had driving down the Princes Highway on Sunday getting honks along the way......

We actually got 5 honks on our journey down here......so  congratulations to

Kelly S   and Roseblossom both are Fiskateers.......fantastic ladies.......so we have 2 winners as you were both correct........well done!!

Thank you to everyone who played along with us....it has been fun.....could both winners please send through your postal details so that I can post out your prizes......you shall both get the scissors and stickers.

Carolyn and I are now relaxing and getting ready for a fun FILLED NIGHT TONIGHT in Spotlight Bairnsdale.

Hope to see some of you there.....we'll be there with our Christmas hats on ready to craft up a storm!!

xoxo

RAK ~ Honk if you're crafty!!

                                                           

Well I'm looking forward to my next Fiskars Demonstration and Make'n'take Session in Bairnsdale Spotlight this coming Tuesday.November 10th from 6-9pm for their Xmas VIP Night.

.....woohoo......heading down to EAST GIPPSLAND tomorrow with Carolyn.......stopping on the way for lunch somewhere....hit a few shops to do some retail therapy...who knows what time we'll arrive......LOL!

Don't worry you won't miss us.....I have put the "Honk if You're Crafty" sticker that Rebecca Peck (US Lead Fiskateer)sent over to me on the back of my car........so let's see how many "HONKS" we get driving down the Princes Highway and around town......LOL! I hope it comes off or I'm in trouble when hubby gets home.......he,he.

I'm going to give way a pair of Fiskars 8" scissors  and a couple of these funky stickers to the reader who correctly guesses the number of "HONKS" we get on the 3 hour trip down there...HONK HONK.......so leave a comment and your guess below for a chance to win......lol!!

So what do you think? Shall we get a few honks on the way down? Might also lay an orange boa across my back window ........OMG.......this is going to be such fun!!

If you live in the Bairnsdale area......we'd love to see you on Tuesday Night between 6-9pm for some Xmas fun......YEH!!

I have also put together a few prizes and giveaways for on the night........and my trolley is packed to the brim with Fiskars Tools for a fun filled night of crafting!!

Most Spotlight stores are having this Xmas VIP Night on Tuesday....so why not pop into your local store for a fun night..............of "crafting" Each store is alos giving away a sewing machine to one lucky participant on the  night..........how exciting!!

Hope you have a great weekend and maybe get some crafting into your day!!
