On 4th and 5th May 2012 in the hot and sunny Darwin, Australia I had the experience that will stay in my heart forever. These are “Territory Dreaming” –  mixedmedia and scrapbooking classes made by two brands teamed toghether to make this happen –  7 Dots Studio and our retailer in Australia –  Scrap Matrix. All the event was planned, prepared and organized by the people who are the hearts and souls of these 2 companies: Rae Cooper, the owner of Scrap Matrix with her 2 sweet sisters, Wendy and Angela who made these classes were not only world-class – perfectly prepared in every single detail but also full of good emotions and friendly, supportive atmosphere!
7 Dots Studio was represented by me – Anna Dąbrowska (or just Finnabair) – mixedmedia artist, scrapbooker and journaler who is also 7 DS product designer.  During this 2 days-long event I took care of 34 talented students, who came to darwin from different areas of Australia. Any words can’t describe the amount of emotions and wonderful creative experience I had with this breathtaking group. This time is just unforgettable!
Ladies – thank you again for your trust and faith, your enthusiasm, and great, positive feedback I got from you during this weekend. You made my heart sing!

Here we are toghether:)

And here are some shots done during the classes – we’ve made 2 paper layouts and a handmade journal – all based on our paper collections and a collage on canvas.

Some of the breathtaking projects:

And a great surprise in the end of the event: a very moving moment of saying thanks for everything… here I am in tears with a fish in my hands :* I want to repat once again: Rae, Wendy and Angela – thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the hard, detailed work you did preparing the event – it was made with love and passion. Thank you for inviting me and giving me the chance to meet this amazing group of people – and meeting you! I feel blessed to have friends like you:*

And here I am with Angela, Wendy and Rae – very happy moment!

I’d like to thank to one more person – Tusia, who helped me a lot with all the logistic issues and made sure everything would be on time, ready to go without any extra stress :*

I hope this is not my last travel to the Land of Kangaroos – after wonderful time I had I dream abourt coming back again!
Once again – thanks to you all:*You are just out of this world!
