More of our crazy weekend!

Lia kindly granted us permission to post pictures taken during the weekend. What a CRAZY time we all had!

Would you believe she summoned all her courage to dance on the chair?

For a scrap organiser from EK Success and more!!! She was glowing all day :) Well done, E!

Of course, there were quiet moments where everyone had to concentrate on their work....

while some took the time in between inking to pose for us :)

An altered mirror

Don't touch!

WE DID IT!!!!!

What a weekend

Hey everyone,

I think it's safe to say that anyone who attended at least one of our DT classes over the weekend are well and truly still trying to reel back in the whole experience and compose themselves for the start of a new week without our designers, especially Lia and Sharon.

Seeing them off on Monday proved to be a little overwhelming. We're glad they enjoyed themselves here and who would've thought Sharon is now moping around at home, unwillingly to unpack? :) We're also very, very honoured that Lia's teaching debut was held at Shabby Chic! As nervous as she initially was, she did a tremendous job and those in her class (especially her cards class) can now tie beautiful ribbons :)

I know many of you out there are waiting for pictures and we just realised we didn't take that many as we would like to. So to all of you out there who have pictures (funny or otherwise) taken during any of our DT classes, or the stash of scrapping goodies you won/received, we'd love for you to share them with us here by emailing them to shabbychicbrunei@gmail.com.

In the meantime, here are some of the pictures we managed to take. Enjoy :)

A rare scene - silence. *heheheh*

I'll give this to you if you can give me the right answer!

Look what I won!

Listening carefully

Lucky draw prize - SEI album in a box kit!

Madness!!!!

Hey folks,

It's been an absolute MADHOUSE in here eversince Crop Night started! The FUN, EXCITEMENT and LAUGHTER was loud enough to deafen anyone within a one-mile radius!! Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little but it seriously has been fantastically FUN and I know those out there who have attended at least one of our classes will agree with us :)

And with all the buzz happening around in and out of our store, we're truly sorry that our designers haven't had any time to sit down to judge the winners of our Amazing Scrapping Race. Therefore, we're postponing our announcement to Tuesday, 2 December 2008 at 3pm. I know it's horrible to keep you all waiting any further but we hope you understand how CRAZY it has been here over the past few days!!!! Severe lack of sleep and sustaining on caffeine but we're not complaining one bit!!!

One more designer class to go for the weekend - WOW! We've been planning this for months, waited for eternity for this to happen and now it's all coming to an end so soon :(

Here's a sneak of our fun-filled weekend!!!
