AGM and lots of show and tell.....

Hiya, I'm sorry I'm a few days late with the photos of the AGM and I neglected to get a photo of the new committee,  my apologies..
I managed to take one photo during the proceedings, which is below.  As you can see from the photo the executive is hard at work and the members are busy amongst themselves, waiting for the opening of the meeting..


The photos that are below are of the show and tell that was held after the meetings and morning tea.  I tried to get the names of as many of the creaters as possible, some I missed, sorry.  Enjoy

January shisha mirror challenge

Hiya again...  last year we were set a challenge to make an ATC incorporating a shisha mirror.  Some forgot, some couldn't decide how best to go about it and some lost theirs.  Below you will the results that were swapped yesterday..  I have named the ones I know, sorry I should have but didn't take a photo of the backs. 
 Enjoy
