I spent the past weekend in with some of the most creative, funny and beautiful people I have had the pleasure of meeting. It was the the weekend of the Bathurst Bloggers Meet and Aussie Bloggers came from all over NSW and even one from Brisbane!!
I left home on Friday morning at 9am this was my view for the next 5 hours!
If I looked sideways this was my view - bright yellow Canola crops everywhere.(interspersed with wheat/barley/oats crops). The wet winter is showing in the quality of the crops.
Make, Bake or Fake Swap presents at the top. And look at all the 'foils'!! Little lucky ticket gifts brought along by those attending!
And onto one of the highlights of the weekend - the Make, Bake or fake Swap!!
Lots of oohing and aahing over during the opening of the swap gifts!
Here is Suze with her Sewing Folder!
Sonia & Janice after opening their awesome presents!
Simone & Dory with their surprises.
Cheryl & Peg with a cute pattern and lovely fabric
Dale (had to take a photo of the coat hanger by itself because it was all blury in the first photo!!)
Fiona - ecstatic with her hand knitted socks!
Sweet Georgina with her surprise!
Googy with a her beautiful coat hanger & Jan with a lovely cushion and bag - you will have to excuse the photo bomber (being Kate the self appointed 'official photographer!!)
Self appointed official photographer opening her swap present - being a photo bomber earned her the privilege of a screwed up face on my post!! lol
Kylie with her sweet bunny pin cushhion
Lea with a beautiful heat pack and Julie with fabric and cards!
And after all of these photos I realised I haven't taken a photo of my swap present - a job for tomorrow and I will include with the next lot of photos!!!
The weekend went way too fast - although I probably couldn't have eaten anymore food or drank anymore coffee, tea or wine - but I could have had a few more days of the wonderful company and belly laughs that filled the weekend.
I will be back tomorrow with more photos of a fantastic weekend!!
Great photos
