Back from Ranger U!

What fun I had last weekend. I was accepted to do Ranger U in the USA, and I flew over there last Thursday, and spent 3 fabulous days playing with inks and paints and utee. The weekend started gloriously as I was upgraded on the flight to first class! I was so amazed when the girl at the gate told me, she looked at me , and said would you like it? Of course! I was sitting, or should that be lying down opposite Jeff Beck and Harvey Goldsmith! ( for those of you who don't know they are a guitarist and a music promoter).
I met so many lovely people,(the class photo is above, and I am the one hiding 2nd row up! ) and we worked incredibly hard for 3 days, learning new techniques and getting to play with almost all of Ranger's products. Tim Holtz, Suze Weinberg and Claudine Hellmuth showed and taught us how to use their products. I already have a good number of Ranger products in the store, but will be getting Claudine paints and canvas too. They are winging their way to me as I type! Yah!

I learnt so many new techniques, and I will be working my round to showing you them on the blog, and on the website.

I have to say that by the end of the 2nd day my brain wouldn't compute with my mouth, and I was completely gaga! But it was fun and so informative, and an experience that I would not have missed for the world!

Finally on Monday Suze so kindly took me shopping! I love shopping and had a small list from the guys back home, Levis (not to be found *sad*) , Jolly Ranchers, a corn scoop, ( don't ask!) and Lucky Charms ( an American cereal) . I did however get to Michaels, and bought rather too much stuff! Then Suze took me to her house, and showed me her studio. I love you Suze, you are such a generous person to give up your time. Thank you , it was such fun. The corn dogs were good too!

We are at Ally Pally next weekend, so I am busy getting ready for that, and if you are coming please pop by the stand ( no 49) and say hello. More on Ranger U tomorrow.
