ABCD Meet Ups - so inspiring and lots to learn

Saffron Craig - Sunday, October 02, 2011
The ABCD Meet-up was on Thursday night at the Three Weeds Hotel in Roselle. Steph and Lisa hosted an interesting experiment, a sort of speed dating where we rotated in small groups. We each answered a question per round, like:

“What do you blog about?”
“What craft would you like to learn?”
“What are you best at? What are you worst at?”

“If money was no option what would you like to do?”

This pictue was taken by Steph.

It sure got us all to open up and talk about ourselves a lot more, share advice about the world out there. It helped us to talk, listen and be inspired. We connected through the questions; there were so many women to admire.

I realised these 10 things:

  1. I have never worked in an office! I guess I feel lucky.
  2. Time for me to start teaching. When I spoke to four people at length about different routes for teaching I am realising that the universe is saying something...
  3. I like to chat! And to listen as well.
  4. I like meeting people.
  5. I like to learn from other people and their journeys. Especially when I feel I am a few years behind them.
  6. There are a lot of ladies out there living their dream. You can too!
  7. Advice and experiences should be shared. We learn so much from each other.
  8. You can achieve a lot by making sure you stay focused.
  9. We are all wishing for similar things.
  10. Steph and Lisa are truly awesome and so supportive and giving.

Here is some of the bounty from the goodie bag which shows a lot about the talent and passion of the people that come to these meetings.

 

My daughter is wearing, playing with and eating most of it as the party planners are so generous.

There is definitely crafty stuff which I am going to make and share with you in the future.

Like this blouse from Roberta of Rowan Tree Design.

As well as these angels from Polli.

All thanks to Lisa and Steph. Next Meet Up is in Summer, January, and I hope we get to wear a frock instead of our winter woollies..

Come along, the more people the more interesting it will be!
