Well, I'm finally home from my first ever CCDE (hopefully
not my last) and I'd like to say hi and thanks to all who
made my week-end great.

I know I missed saying good-bye to a lot of you, for which
I'm sorry. On the other hand I'm shivering sick at the
moment, so you're probably better off not having hugged me
:o)

Photos and stuff will be posted once I'm better.

Hope you feel better soon. It was nice to see you :-) The costume was
excellent!

We never got a chance to say hello, but I did see you. When
they said your name in the Maskerade I started nudging my
husband and going "ooh, it's Graycat from afp!". Great
costume, and you looked fantastic in it.

Sorry to hear that, hope you're better soon.

Ooh, feel better soon.

Looking forward to it. I must try to save enough money to attend one of
these...

Darn. This is the trouble with not knowing who will be/is
there and not knowing what people look like. I don't know
who I could have met, but didn't...

Thanks. I got a lot of compliments on it, which was nice.

I don't know if I got chance to say how much I liked it, or even say hello,
but I did/do.
Great costume and congrats on the prize.

each.

It would be great to see you there. Besides anything else, I want to
introduce you to Affordable Graham[1] and see what happens...*g*

Cheers m'dear- Kate (Our daughter) so enjoys the Maskerades we ended up
getting roped in at CCDE as well as the con in 2004- at least she's not
roaming the streets.

Now to the nitty gritty, could you let me into the secrets of the patterns
you used, or did you draft your own? I like to know which patterns actually
work as we know some just don't!

The way I see it, there are only so many hours in a day and there's only
so much you can fill them with. So, as long as I feel I've packed every
possible second of CCDE with time spent in good company I think it's been
a good weekend.

There simply isn't any way to meet everyone one intends to, and even if
one did it would just end up meaning that it wouldn't be possible to
remember them all.

Damn. I failed to meet you once more. This is more annoying since the
guy we bought a catalogue for a couple of years ago has recently
admitted that he now spends money with you.

Ah, that might have been Liz Ashton, I think... I'm amazed she hasn't
bought more of your stuff in the past ;-)
