It just took an alternative venue out of the showers and wind - it just took 4 (+ "Jenny")
Nutters and a group of bloggers and Craft Forum members - it just took some yummy coffees, lattes, cupcakes - it just took lots of laughter and chatter, and hugs all round - to have a fabulous, fun, memory filled morning.
The cameras were clicking madly, but they kept smiling.
So good to see "Jenny" joining in the fun and action - in the middle of the chatter.
Enjoying a latte
- and those yummy cupcakes.
Thank you Fee for our beautiful cupcake of fabrics, and Vicki for the pin wheel.
It was great to finally meet blogging friends in person.
Teresa was one of my first blog friends.
A very helpful hubby manned the cameras for our group photo, until the shower of rain had us all back under cover.
I also gave the girls the sewing kits I made, and some fabric packs. I remembered to take a photo of one of them but not the other bits and pieces.
Thank you Dawn, Fee, Vicki and Joy for arranging this opportunity for us to meet up. It really was a wonderful day.

We did have a fabulous day, didn't we Marilyn. It was really lovely to meet you finally and I had so much fun at the picnic. Great post and love the photos of Jenny!!!

Start saving your money for next March :) xx

Looks like you girls had so much fun. I love Teresa's blog and in fact have linked up with many of these ladies' blogs. Maybe next time I might be able to put aside the time and come and meet them all in real life. That would be fantastic. I love how you had the stuffed toy substitute!! Di.
