Craft Retreat & Luggage Tag Challenge

Sugar Shack Crafters - 2010 Gympie Retreat

2nd prize in Luggage Tag Challenge

Dear Jane .. I have been very slack of late & have neglected you terribly however I'm sure you'll forgive me when you read what I've been up to. My sister had emergency surgery for her appendix so I rushed to Brisbane to make her cups of tea etc & give her lots of moral support whilst she recovered. As I was on the organising committee for our craft retreat which was held at Gympie last weekend I was extremely busy getting ready for same after "losing" a week in Brisbane however the weekend went off well & the group of 20 ladies from Sugar Shack Crafters in Maryborough had a wonderful laughter filled, fun weekend. We had a Luggage Tag challenge which was judged at the retreat & .. guess what .. I won 2nd prize with my red shoe tag & was thrilled with my prize of a lovely wooden storage box. With a new grandchild due in December I concentrated on finishing a bunny rug .. however with all retreats my expectations before I went were that I would get two done .. I'll just have to burn the midnight oil !! On arriving home from retreat we have taken the caravan out of the shed & getting ready to head off for a few days with friends. I promise I will get back to my DJ blocks soon.
