Anyways, I met this awesome scrapbooker and her friend Bronwen (who owns Smalltown Scrappers) while waiting in line for Camp Croppin last year. These Manitoba ladies knew how to have a good time, we enjoyed each other's company. Now I have the awesome privilege to teach with Jill on the Cruise. This accomplished lady is also going to be teaching at the BC expo. Talent,talent!
