So let's start with hell. Hell must be what it was like in the NEC from 11am to 2pm yesterday. There was SOOOO many people in that hall. The place was absolutely packed. People with bags, handbags, pushing totes or pulling trolleys; people in wheelchairs; people with prams; old, young, male, female. People everywhere, it was bumper to bumper, to the point that the atmosphere was asfixiating!
But then, the place was also heaven. Because for any crafts lover, the idea of a big hall full of crafting goodies and crafty talented and minded people really is heaven. And since in Europe we do not really have the likes of Joannes and Michaels to go shopping every week, or monthly huge crafts exhibitions like the Americans have, for instance, that place yesterday was like being in paradise to me.
And here's what I purchased - budget was limited, unfortunately, but I still managed to get most of the MUST things in my list.
What do you think? I am completely new to Craft Robo, and I am aware this is the simplest version, now being discontinued, but the offer was good and within my skills my view is that I should be able to get quite a lot out of this tool.
So if you are an expert on Craft Robo, have suggestions, recommendations, ideas, links, etc. please do send them my way because it would be great to get a bit of help :-)
And if you are planning to go to the NEC tomorrow (last day), get ready for heaven and hell! ;-)
