A Very Special Day!

Last Saturday was our annual Exhibition and Craft Fair/Fund Raiser, where my students get to exhibit all their wonderful makes as well as an opportunity for us to raise funds for Bee Blessed and Oasis Ladies Quilting Group through the craft fair and tea/coffee donations.

It takes a small army of dedicated and talented people to get all our stalls, props and exhibits from this .....

Exhibition '13 - Friday Night Set up

And if you want to make a wee cuppa and sit back and enjoy the highlights of our day, here is a slide show of the special day!

I just want to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who submitted their items, helped us on the Friday night, came along to visit and buy on Saturday and despite having very tired legs, help pack everything away again on Saturday!  And a special thank you to Gordon, our resident photographer for the day! You rock!

Over £1200 was raised across both charities!  How cool is that!

You are all amazing!  I'm so proud of my students, and I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such a wonderful team of friends.  You never cease to inspire and encourage me!
