Christmas ATC Swap

Janet arranged for those of us in the ATC swap who wanted to do a Christmas themed ATC to exchange them at the Christmas Party.

Above are the results, a fun collection. These are the fronts of the cards and below are the backs - each positioned to the relevant front. Aren't they great?!

Thanks for the photos, Marion.

By the way, if you double click on the photo you should get an enlarged version. At least, I do on my computer, so give it a try.

The Fibres and Fabrics Christmas Party.

A most enjoyable Christmas Party was held at the Yacht Club on Wednesday, organised by Anne T. A lovely large crowd of members attended, many of whom dressed for the occasion. "N" was the theme this year and if you click on Nita's Nose below you can see a gallery of photos of many of the outfits.

Besides Nosey Nurse Nita and her Naughty arsenal of Narcissistic weapons, the proceedings were blessed by Nun, Sister Anne. We all had lots of fuN, ate well, laughed a lot and ended the year on a high Note. Next year the them will be "T" so you're forewarned and have a whole year to think about it.

Merry Christmas everyone, near and far. Hope you all have a safe, healthy and happy holiday season and that the New Year is one filled with good happenings. Thanks for visiting the blog.

Joy to the World - the Christmas Fair was great fun again.

The Christmas Fair had a very festive and happy atmosphere again this year and we had lots of fun and laughs selling our wares to a very supportive public on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. I wish I'd got you a photo of Gai's beanie, but she didn't wear it on the day I had my camera handy. I did get a lot of great photos of some of the tables, though. So click on Deb's elfen feet below to go to the album of photos.

Thanks Lyn for organising a most enjoyable and successful fair. Everybody was very happy with your arrangements. I did hear one compaint though .... some people made so much to sell that they need bigger tables please! There was a bigger variety of craft for sale then usual with more people joining in, which is really good. At this rate we might end up having to hire the Entertainment Centre! (Only joking, the CWA Hall is perfect.) I think everyone went home feeling very content with the way it all went.

Sewing for Cancer - November 26

Jessica and Fran are holding up two rugs made by the Magnetic Island ladies for locals in need.

The main work of the day was sewing turbans for people in need through Queensland Cancer.

PS: These photos were taken with my mobile phone so I apologise for the quality. Janet B.

Sad News

We were very sad to hear that one of our members, Val M, had recently passed away very unexpectedly and suddenly from a heart attack. Val was such a vibrant and enthusiastic person and very talented at whatever art craft she attempted. We'll miss you Val but won't forget you. Our deepest sympathy goes to her family.

Member's Albums to be Updated and Added

During the Christmas break I intend to update the members' albums and to add new ones so please send me any photos you'd like to include? You can keep your own album updated by making an album in Picasa (which's easy and great to use). Just send me the address and I'll link it to your name on the list of members' albums. Or if that's not your cup of tea, email me the photos at jungleburra@gmail.com and I'll fix it all up for you. I have some photos already waiting to be added - just haven't done it yet. Sorry! But I'll get there soon. Carol.

Ingham Postcard Exhibition

I forgot to take my camera to the Wednesday social morning today so, sorry no photos. But Marion has sent us a link to her album of photos taken at the exhibition of our postcards in Ingham. To take a look just click here. Don't they look great? Marion would you like to add a report of your visit to the exhibition in the comments?
