What I Came Home With

Opening Night Drinks

A happy heart, really, really sore feet, a fire in my belly and a few less red dots than I set out with.  All the ingredients for a very successful night.

It was a fabulously fun, amazingly wonderful evening.

Thank you to everyone who came along, and to those who sent messages of support and well wishes from near and far.  This journey is made so much sweeter by the amazing people that I'm traveling with.

Extra big special thanks to Cathie for those amazing cupcakes, to CurlyPops for all the assistance of various sorts, and of course to Ms L for being my rock, my greatest supporter and number one fan.

And look at all these gorgeous flowers I received.  Talk about spoiled.

Congratulatory Flowers

I hope to have some more photos to share soon.

********************************************

Next order of the day.  Get my Etsy shop reopened.  Stay tuned for news on that front. 

First though I might enjoy the weekend off.

    It was a wonderful night ... so nice to chat with people without our hands engaged. Those cupcakes were amazing and I love the home to the indigenous Australians that runs through your work. I'll get the best of the photos I took to you over the weekend when I've had the chance to download them. Enjoy some well deserved rest.
