amberdreamsI'm back! Did you miss me? He he he of course not. But now GISHWHES madness is over and we are on our post-Gish-blues downward spiral, which means it's time to share some of the STUFF!
Honestly, my team this year, chaps...I have no words for our wonderfulness. One team member had some home issues to deal with so ended up having to step out, but other than that, we went at it full pelt. Some of us UK-based team members managed to have a full day together in London to try and achieve as many tasks as poosible that needed more than one person. Something I've learned from GISHWHES (not that it changes the way I live my life) is that 90% of my human contact these days is online, so if I'm asked to get a group of five people together to do something - I'm struggling! And trying to get the big ticket items done when you don't know any one with the right kind of contacts - impossible. The odds are so stacked against folk just trying tweets and emails to stars and their agents - those guys get so many, the chances they'll see ours amongst the dross is infinitessimally small. Didn't stop me trying, mind! (Apologies to the management company for Adele, 5 seconds of Summer etc, to the Gay student society in Dublin and any number of other random folk I contacted to try and get tweets or whatever done!)
If you want to skip all the woffle about my contributions and just want a summary version, our lovely team captain,
dean_hugs_sammy, put together a video with highlights.
So I tried sand sculpture - and as a result I've decided this is not my medium!
In case you can't tell, the challenge was to sculpt your fave SPN character in sand (or ice or snow) - Poor Bobby and Sam!
Then there was the usual Misha and the Queen picture to produce - this time they were to be 1950s pin up BFFs so of course they both demanded to be Marilyn.
It was nice of Misha to shave his legs, don't you think?
I won't post everything in one post, I think I'll just do random posts in the next few days when I need a boost. :D
Glad and sorry it's over, and I don't have any illusions that we will be the winning team, fabulous though we were (ain't that rightthursdaysisters, theymp, 
jj1564, xlittleangx, sigrundora & dizzojay?), but I'm hoping we will get at least ONE item in the damn coffee book this year!
