The Craft Fair was a huge success.

Wow!! The Craft Fair

is behind us and if I do say so myself it was a great success. Thanks to all who helped put this great event together. Two lucky ticket buyers won a beautiful quilt each. Photos will soon be on the blog --- but before then I would like to catch up on what has been happening of late and get those pictures up.
So here we go.
