Return from Creative Training Course again this year after a long wait from the time of the much-awaited day has arrived for Creative Education
and this year the wait did not disappoint our expectations!
The climate that reigns here is that camaraderie that is achieved only in the company of friends or new found passion and cultivating the same in front of which there never stops!
We left for Tuscany on Friday morning, the trip was pretty slow for the presence of several trucks and several stretches of motorway where the speed was max 100km/ha due to construction work in progress ....... the weather was still merciful and all in all a pleasant trip. Our proverbial sense of direction (I and Helium) has not been denied even this time ..... even with the GPS trying in vain to get us out right, we were able to ignore the exit Prato est and we had to continue until Scandicci ..... After a ride of about 20 km tour, we ended up at your destination .... luckily we did not have any commitment to the Friday!
Systematic room I started to snoop around 3 classrooms all of the courses that were already crowded with busy scrappers and French teacher to work with its translator who explained that in our course was the highly efficient Danda!
I tried to disturb as little as possible but the greetings are flakes anyway.
In the first classroom to
Is @ that was also my teacher was the shop on Saturday
Patty . I had promised to look and not touch, but I did not ...... behind the counter were so many bags already aligned with the buyer's name written in marker and which has been added mine too .... In the classroom next
was
Sandra with the shop of stamps
Florileges , there too many bags with the name written in marker and to whom, you can imagine, it's going to add mine too .... Fortunately
in the third classroom
Magalie there was no shop would otherwise have been another attack!
Late afternoon also got Anna Maria, Rocco Oronzo and a friend who is keen to scrap and that would be involved with us in the course of Saturday.
For dinner we decided to go to Prato in Mimmo restaurant run by an Egyptian now a naturalized Italian, and from which last year we had found good.
Elio and I have eaten fantastic grilled sea bream with spinach sour. Anna Maria is that I, with the eyes of scrapper, we noticed that the napkins were in kraft paper that there would be very useful for our work ...... what else could do but ask the waitress to get some nice paper? Having said that .... arrived with his hand in a block of about fifty pages for us all ..... But in return he wanted to know what we would have used ..... and of course we did not pray to give her explanations that .... But ..... We are so pleased that he asked her a page with a photo of her baby!
Obviously we said no and we promised that we would have done it to him on Sunday evening, after which of course she had delivered us the photo of Marika, which has consistently done the next morning in the hotel!
Saturday but we had a course of Sandra, at 9 am after breakfast we made in class and we were immediately handed the goody bag at the time were unable to immediately look at the content but then I've done quietly at home .... there was really any good things .... look a bit 'here ..... thanks!
all contained in a very nice red handbag ..... of course could not miss the flower sewn on badge. The legendary
Tortellini Bologna gave me that fantastic keychain butterfly and also I was also donated the beautiful flower brooch ... sorry .... I can not remember and I can not recognize the signature ..... if anyone can help me!
We took a table where there was apart from us 3 Elisa, a dear girl Belluno with which we were very good.
The course was not difficult but quite complicated, so that the purpose of the course was not the assembly, which we do at home, since the preparation of the different timbre of the album pages with techniques and punch.
It 'been a busy day but fun and we arrived at night with all the work done ..... course, now we lack the assembly of the album but we also have all the explanations and pictures of the pages!
In the evening there was a meeting place for all participants to exchange swap of Halloween, for THE award of which had been prepared ..... But I was cooked and I left the room to rest.
Sunday it was decided to go to Pisa, but the rain began to keep us company as early as the night. In the morning, after breakfast we decided to go undeterred in Pisa, hoping for a miracle. The 80 kms from Pisa to Prato have been covered in the pouring rain, then .... arrived in Pisa and parked in two steps from Piazza dei Miracoli .... the rain had diminished to almost cease. With a few short burst allowed us to walk for about an hour photographing the tower, see the Baptistery from the outside because it was necessary to visit
go somewhere else for the ticket and we gave up, see the Cathedral, enter for a small tract within the church that was blocked by a rope fence because they were saying Mass ..... as if the tourists were not able to hear mass.
Al Duomo di Milano access is always allowed ... during the Mass .... mah!
We then went to lunch at the restaurant "The tourist
" given to us by Lucy where the service was perfect and fast.
I got the grilled fish while the others at the tacconi to Pisa, a specialty of the place of pasta .... what to eat while there is ample opportunity of choice, we can not say it's the same thing in the choice of guests and can happen to find yourself at the same table with some people .....
We had lunch without concern also hoping that the copious rain would turn back to the end and it did. We headed to the car wash and we're not back to the hotel under the water ..... in fact we can only say that our little miracle of the day we had no water.
At the hotel, after choosing the cards for the page Marika, with Anna Maria we have started to build the classroom of LO @
Is that allowed us to take possession of a small table. Apart from the cards but we had nothing and then I went around the tables of scrappers to work to borrow the cutter, the stamps, punches, tampons ...... In short I was wandering around the tables trying to steal what I could without disturbing the work.
the end this is the page we have done.
the evening but I was too tired and Helium in the room while I went with Anna Maria Oronzo and Rocco went to Prato and have sent the page, as I was told, is very pleased.
That's it, three days have gone quickly and now we are again waiting for Creative Education
2011!
Until next time, not I just finished my album! Thanks
Is @ 
and thanks to the perfect organization of
Patty and those who have contributed to the event together with the sponsors!
to create this wonderful albumetto I was able to finish almost everything .... there are only one of the stamps and photos. However I do see there: 
course could not miss the traditional group photo 
We were not many but the day was pleasant and too few hours together! 
We are gradually loading the pages in the gallery of site and soon you will see all posted .... so if you are interested and ... you are a little 'curious ..... go see them! 
We took possession of half a table already occupied by other friends Lombard Elisa, Monica, Silvia and Charles. 
There was the shop of Patty and the author's impressions of already besieged by locusts:) 
We brought our groceries in the kitchen was full of bundles, bags, drinks, etc.. etc. surplus food as usual, too, in my opinion .... 
and not just him .... comments wherever you feel welcomed. We work .... Well its not all .... some people ... Pretending and chat with the promise to end the album at home! 
Elio photographing everyone and in every position and attitude .... nothing escapes his shots! 
and delivering a numeretto that will be used for the extraction of premietti ..... please, Guard them carefully, "says Fiore .... and I, forgetful, do all that I put this in your pocket! 
And it's time the draw .... almost all get a premietto and I also won a very useful package of ribbons! 
After that I thought the number would serve no more, and so throw it away .... Error ..... that was used for the exchange of blocks and in fact when Flower came to ask me ... are dropped from the classic pear:) Patience is the exchange was the same and I got what cute Nadia 
and you my .... which of course I forgot to photograph! 
Late afternoon also got Anna Maria, Rocco Oronzo and a friend who is keen to scrap and that would be involved with us in the course of Saturday. 
We took a table where there was apart from us 3 Elisa, a dear girl Belluno with which we were very good.
