SCRAP NIGHT

Last Friday our scrap/patch group met and decided to continue on into the night! It ended up being a "Scrap 'til Midnight" evening! We had takeaway tea from the Tavern - fish 'n chips. Ladies that were able to come for part or the full day were - Jillian, Emily, Rose, Dee, Linda and Belinda. As it was also the start of basketball we had a few people popping in to visit us and have a look at what we were doing!!! A GREAT NIGHT, and HOPE TO DO IT AGAIN ONE DAY, probably after harvest!

Xmas Cards

The other day I started to make my Christmas cards! Simple, but I think they look okay!

First Christmas

Have been busy lately getting photos together for the layouts for the Hyden Retreat! Can't wait!

Last week we had Graham's family stay with us. His niece Prue, and myself did a little photo shoot with Mietta. The photos came out great, so I am excitedly planning to use some of them in future layouts!
