Just wanted to say big thanks to you and your lovely family for the brilliant weekend. I was quite nervous beforehand, but the welcoming atmosphere put me at ease and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I learned loads of stuff and couldn't wait to do more at home.  Liz

Thanks for a fantastic mini-ATC workshop. As a complete novice I wasn't sure how I was going to get on, but you made it all very easy. I really enjoyed using the craft products and trying out the different techniqes. It was a fun day and as you predicted I am quickly becoming hooked, having spent much of the past week making more ATCs! It's so rewarding to learn a new skill and I'm really looking forward to coming along to another workshop. Jo

I've had an absolutely fab day - really enjoying it & can't wait for day 2. Thanks to Anneliese & Sass for making it such a great day.  June.

What can I say?  Going to Anneliese’s workshops have been highlights of my crafting experience.  She is so knowledgeable about so many techniques.  I’ve inked, stamped, doodled, scrapped, beeswaxed, altered books, journaled, laughed, drunk numerous cups of coffee and eaten too many Jaffa cakes but though it all I have left the workshop with so much knowledge that Anneliese has generously shared with all the participants.   I can’t wait to see what her plans are for workshops this year.

It was a blast Anneliese!! Linda and I really enjoyed it! We were so well looked after, but you must be exhausted now! Can't wait for you to organise another weekend class in the new year! Especially, an Art Journaling one!! You are a great teacher. Many thanks and Merry Christmas to you all! Chris xx
