Scrapping in 2019 #12
I've used what I'd learned at October's Gogo Getaway to good effect and filled in a few blanks in our 2019 album and The Boy Child's album (Volume 6) ...

One Photo | Twenty Words
I don't know how it's possible, but this is my 12th year of documenting December Daily ... my favourite annual project.
December Daily 2019 | Manifesto and Days 1-5

Gogo Getaway | After Hours
Those of you who attend residential scrapbooking retreats will know that sticking and gluing goes on well in to the wee small hours. Most people bring along their own projects to work on (I started work on this year's December Daily), but for those who hadn’t, the GoGo Getaway ladies had two self-paced classes available. … Continue reading Gogo Getaway | After Hours
Gogo Getaway | The Classes
There is always a well thought out class timetable for a GoGo weekend, where delegates chose their classes in advance. Each class has three choice and are graded in technical difficulty.
