We have the COOLEST delegates!

Gloucester 2 Retreat is only 2 weeks and 1 day away now so things are just getting so busy with preparations. Two of the 16 classes on offer during the weekend are about journaling (as I happen to think learning to journal...just even DOING journaling (so many people don't!)...and what to write and how to write better...is really important. As important as the photos. Says she...waffling in a very un-writing-very-well manner - ROFL!!

Anyhoo...one of the classes is called 'Journaling With Chutney' (you have to take the class to find out why it's called that!) and as part of the class I always give away a jar of chutney to remind them of the class. A couple of weeks ago I got chatting via UK Scrappers to Sue, one of the Gloucester delegates, who mentioned she'd been making chutney.

Can you see that little lightbulb above my head?

So Sue went off on a mission to make some new jars of her delicious green tomato chutney for my class. First she had to find more green tomatoes. THEN she had to find more jars, as she'd wiped out all spare jars from every person she knew when she'd made her original batch. Then another delegate who lives in Sue's neck of the woods came up with a brilliant (it has to be said...BRILLIANT!!!) idea. Use Prima Flowers bottles. How cool is THAT?!!

And here are the jars, looking all purdy and gorgeous. Isn't that the yummiest, nicest thing?

Sue...you are a STAR!!!! Big snogs to you.
