Well … My first day at Ranger U and I have broken a major rule already! They say … No photos on the tour … where the magic happens … like none … nada … zilch … I just could n’t resist … this is one of the production lines … but please don’t tell anyone that you have seen it … and if that part does slip out … please don’t tell them where you saw it :0)
The place is full of magic … so much to oooh and arrh over … just imagine it and I promise you … you won’t even come close to how totally cool it really is … amazing … mesmerising … someone lock me in …. purlease!!!!%5B5%5D.jpg "100_3605(1)")
I tell you what though guys … if you were thinking I was having like a little holiday or just non stop play-time … you would be sooooo wrong! I have been flat out working all day :0) I have learned so many new things already … I just can’t wait to share!
You wanted a blow by blow account so my day today … Breakfast with THE Wendy Vecchi … the lovely Darcy … and Anneliese. Oh yeah … read that part again … I had breakfast with THE Wendy Vecchi!!!! Then I gets into Ranger U and I sit next to THE Wendy Vecchi. You wanna know what she is like … think about the loveliest person you know … and she is probably lovelier … I am trying really hard not to drool over her work … but trust me people it aint easy!

OK … so this afternoon we spent with Suze Weinberg … 
I blinked and the day was done … it went that quick!
Finished the day with a BBQ with the Ranger family … what a truly great group of people … then Anneliese and I managed to tempt … erm … one or two people over to Applebees for a drink and I had the most humungus dessert!
Blimey … well done if you read this far … but you wanted a detailed account … right???? and I shall be back tomorrow … with more … enjoy your Saturday’s people … Laters!

Linda,
I know this is a dream come true for you. Please don't think the rest of the country is like Newark (big grin because everyone always picks on Newark, but that's where most people who visit NYC fly into). Have a great day tomorrow.
Aahhhh yes, Applebee's. We spent a lot of time there! So close, so convenient after a HARD DAYS WORK! Told you it was no walk in the park. They work you hard, worth every moment!!!
Have a great time...it flies by in nothing flat.
Tell Jess and Jeanne from Vintaj hi from me! You'll love them.
You can sleep when you get home.

Julie xx
Sounds like a right old bore to me!!!
Have bought lots of canvas board today ready to be covered with all the boring techniques you are bound to show us whilst boring us stupid about some bloke called T!m.
Seriously sounds annoyingly like you are having a good time and long may it continue (annoyingly!)
Well Linda - it sounds like you are having a complete blast. All that anticipation and excitement was well justified by the sound of it - have you got the class all singing your song yet though?
Looking forward to more feedback very soon!
