This is our new 'home' for the next 4 days.  We have been given an upgrade.  Wow,  what a holiday.

We have just enjoyed afternoon tea from the Goodies bag.  I would like to thank the members who went to so much trouble.  BLUSH! BLUSH,  I can't remember who gave me these delicious goodies.  Is it possible to list names and goodies of those who are willing ?  I could start a new thread,  will try!!!  Judy and Cookie might sort me out if I mess up.

Good to hear you arrived home safely Gert.
Knock them dead when you walk the catwalk on Saturday. 

It is quite possible if I fall off the runway on to a punter. LOL!

Gert

They should be so lucky! hahaha, wish I was going to see that one!

Gerts biggest fan!

I'm glad DFM is now home safe

Hey everyone,

Thanks for an awesome weekend and making me feel so welcome! I picked up soooo many tips and am pumped to have crammed all of your years of experimenting and knowledge in to 2 days! What a privilege.

Can I also add my thanks to CP who is just fabulous!

Take care everyone x Emma x

I wondered when we were going to hear from you Em Love the avatar!!

You will laugh at this one, girl  from Myer rang and asked if I could model for the TS range of clothes on Sat and would I mind wearing a swim suit?  

She must have seen that bedroom pic of you in the bed   Go for it, wish I could be there to clap and cheer!

PS. I did a little detour on the way home today and what do you know I ended up at the Apple store... I may be a little quiet tonight 

Gretch can you post me some basic instructions on how to upload photo's direct? Chookie was giving me lessons last night but I think I need to write them down

[cookie1]

CP that is wonderful. I am so pleased. You will love it.
I use tapatalk for photos and find it very easy.

I made it home about 10.15 last night, exhausted but happy. Many thanks to Meagan for taking me to the airport, to my lovely housemates, and to CP for having a wonderful idea and following it through. It was a great weekend, and I met some lovely people.
Back to reality with a thud this morning as I unpacked and cleaned up. The family survived without me, but DH is exhausted too LOL
I had a yummy lunch with JD today, as I had some things for her, including all her goody bag items. It was lovely to see her and tell her about the weekend.

How kind of you to take them over ES. I'm glad you got home safely. It was lovely to meet you.

[judydawn]

Today I had a visit from the lovely ES who came all the way from the other side of town to deliver my goodies basket.  How special do you think I felt that all the beautiful gifts found their way to my house and yet my gift is still sitting in the cupboard.  I was able to give Sue a few packets and anyone and everyone who visits will go home with some as well.  

We had a quick lunch and chat about the retreat before I had to leave for my daily visit to the hospital but we could have talked for a couple hours more aye Sue?  

Thanks everyone for your contribution to the bags, I went through it with Sue but will be doing so again shortly and I was amazed at the various ideas that people came up with to make this bag so interesting.  Well done everyone and thank you again Sue for your visit - after a hectic weekend I know you would have had plenty to do at home without having to make a special trip down here.  I appreciate it so much.  

[Amy :-)]

ES, I'm glad you made it home safely

Enjoy your goodie bag Judy, its the least you deserve

[achookwoman]

Judy,  we all found ES to be a very special person.  It doesn't surprise me that she made an effort to bring the goodies to you.  Thanks Runaround sue.  ( this is what Ral calls Sue).
Judy we hope you enjoy the Goodies, you may like to check to see who they are from.  I have started a thread  where retreater may post what they made.  Ral and I had afternoon tea and them Dinner from the Goodies  bag !!!!

What great fun Gert. You look excellent in colour (the orange and red you wore on the weekend).
I can absolutely see why they would want you on the catwalk.

I am glad to see you got home ok. How was your flight and then the drive?

I think they just needed a " senior" to  add to the balance of young chicks!!

Gert

[gertbysea]

You will do great Gert just make sure you have a glass of wine in your hand.

I'm trying to set up a blog with photos and info from the weekend, would you mind if I used some of your photos I'll credit you of course.

Great idea . Go for your life. No need for credit as most were crap.
