so know I can tell you about my afternoon tea..yay!


Firstly it was the best fun ever, really was! It was so good to see so many familiar faces and so many new ones.

I was so exhausted but it was exhaustion that i absolutely loved in the end.
Loved because I worked hard and achieved even more than I myself expected.

The love from you all was absolutely amazing, you girls are absolutely awesome!
The list of genuine fabulousness is in no particular order because you are all equally beautiful


My beautiful sister, my gorgeous sister-in-law, my lovely friends Louise, Teresa, Miss Holly, my gorgeous cousin and beautiful friend Vera for taking pics for me and of course the lovely Nikki for opening up her studio for us.


The raffle prizes were a m a z i n g  and people loved them all.  The online raffle was also drawn on the day and the winners were as follows

Ms Chunkychooky won Little Miss Vintage
Ms Jennie won Walter (sorry Hayley)
Teresa D won Lil Mim
congrats ladies!!


So after a recount, the final tally for the afternoon tea was $929..I know..eeeekkk, plus the online donations and personal donations of $345,
total  $1274, take a bow ladies, that is absolutely fabulous, well done!!!  

It's all going to a great cause that has touched the lives of many, not just mine, so thank you, thank you to all involved.

OK, totally exhausted and off to watch Ms Curlypops' favourite show, Offspring. More pics over at Nikki's

I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies! If you haven't visited them yet, why don't you pop by for a visit and enjoy their fabulous blogs! So to give back to the good Karma giveaway fund, I visited a cake decorating store for some inspiration...and I came out with a box full of cupcake papers, that's about 600 or more. I think I was in that shop for a good 45 minutes, I am not joking, it's like a kid in a candy store...or a fabric store for my lovely sew crafty blog friends :) Now all you have to do is leave a comment, nothing much, just a hello or share a joke.
