[UK - London] Pygmalion Society Midwinter Mêlée - Saturday 12th November 2011

Jul 12, 2011

    1. Just for the record...
      "SQUEE!"

      I'm still mentally hugging everyone for such a fun day out! My sad little 'Rose' absolutely did me proud, and I think I'm the most chuffediest gal in Watford right now. I still can't quite believe it... and it wasn't luck, it was peer votes!
      I'm just made up!

      I've met some truly wonderful, selfless and fun new friends this weekend - it was food for the soul! - and I'm so pleased we helped to raise so much!

      Well done again to you, Mau. And to Suvi, Crowbar, Candy Kitten, Mich, Foolbot and anyone else involved in the organisation of Saturday. It was spot on and smooth as silk!

      I do have a load of pictures on my phone (although, like a dim-wit, none of my own dolls/entries, as I discovered today when my friend wanted to see what I'd done to win. Doh!). But I may not get a chance to upload for a few days.
      I have to now prepare for a pirate appearance at a xmas fete on Saturday, swiftly followed by my 40th on Sunday (the big four uh-oh!). As you can imagine, I'm currently very disorganised regarding anything that hasn't been doll related for the last couple of weeks. But I'll uplpoad and update after that for sure! I just have to step away from the spare room for a week otherwise the distraction will be too great! It seriously looks like a dolly-bomb exploded in there at the moment! ...love it! :)

      So until next week when my life 'begins' (but hopefully sooner to see pics as they appear), thank you all - I thoroughly enjoyed myself!
       
    2. She was beautiful, dim-wit. ^_^ A well deserved win for sure. Happy birthday for next week and many happy returns. <3 Your Jewel was awesome to see - he's so pretty. <3 Blue faceups are the best.

      Sorry that I was a bit late to the meeting table (darn tubes or lack thereof), but I had a blast meeting everyone on Saturday. It was a wonderful day and thanks to all those involved for making it so. ^_^

      The only problem was the balloons, or more the frequency of them being stepped on. At least some still survived until the end. XD
       
    3. omg awesome prizes!
       
    4. Thanks so much for organizing this, Mau - it went fabulously from my point of view (despite my delayed arrival) and I had a great time.

    5. Still recovering from the weekend...in a good way. It was amazing!

      Thanks to all who had a hand in organizing to make it such a good day :)
       
    6. Fantastic meet!
      I had so much fun and it was great to see everyone again :D
       
    7. Another fantastic midwinter meet ^_^ a huge thank you to everyone who organised and attended the event.

      Unless someone beats me to it I shall make a gallery thread tonight, all my photos are already uploaded to flickr.
       
    8. Whee! I am glad eveyone enjoyed themselves. I am still chugging my way through the photos (long day at work yesterday) but will get a gallery thread started today. Promise.
       
    9. We really have to stop posting at almost the same time Mau! I'll let you make the gallery thread, I was hoping to avoid the responsibility XD
       
    10. Yeah! What's with that?

      OK. I only have a few left to resize, so I will endeavour to do that in the next hour or so.
       
    11. Having spent Sunday at a reenactor's market near Coventry, I'm just getting tot he recovery stage now.

      Had a great time at the meet, but didn't take nearly enough pictures.

      Given my previous track records, however, just having the camera with me and taking some pictures is a triumph in it's own right.

    12. got home safely last night

      thankyou all the meet was lovely :D
       
    13. Just to let you know that we raised £275 for Cancer Research UK. That is a wonderful amount. Thank you all so much for supporting our event. I know a number of us have personal reasons why it was important to support this charity this year. We all did a stirling job. Yay!
       
    14. We are hoping to stage our third Midwinter Ball in 2012. In order to help us get it right, we would be extremely grateful if you could take a few minutes to tell us what you thought about this one. We need the negative stuff as well as the positive, so that we can change the things that didn't work this time. Also, if you have any imaginative ideas for other things we can do with this, please do share.

      I have set up a link on the PS forum for this. Do come and visit! Many thanks in advance.
