Hahaha no wayyy!!

You did this all by yourself. All the preparation, the effort, and the love you poured into every little detail, that’s completely your credit. I was just your cheerleader on the side!

So my biggest congratulations to you. You should be incredibly proud of yourself :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Jade, reading this made me so happy! :face_holding_back_tears: It sounds like the workshop was such a fun morning full of smiles, laughs, and tiny crafting chaos. I love how the newbies and pros naturally teamed up, it’s basically the perfect combo :sparkling_heart:

Honestly, it feels like I got a little peek into a room full of happy chaos and “I need another kit now” energy. You really created such a joyful space, and I’m so glad everyone got to be part of it!

I’m so proud of you, sis :face_holding_back_tears: Even though you were nervous, you really showed up and made it such a special morning. From what I can tell, everyone had an absolute blast! PAT YOOO SELF ON THE BACK :pinching_hand:t3::pinching_hand:t3::pinching_hand:t3::pinching_hand:t3::pinching_hand:t3:

@JDisaduck This event turned out to be everything I hoped for — partly for me, but mostly for you @JDisaduck Walking in as a total first‑timer, not sure if I’d enjoy it or even survive it, I somehow became deeply invested in my little build. I was genuinely sulking when the time was up. The crowd was such a fun mix — younger folks, older folks, and the enthusiastic male participants — and the “old‑time bookstore” Rolife I got to work on was just adorable.

I even caught myself muttering away as I figured things out, celebrating every tiny victory like I’d just solved world peace. Honestly, I was so chuffed with myself. Thanks for @JDisaduck for including me in this lovely event you managed. Well organized and well done
