Thank you to every one who came along and crafted away on Sunday 19th (see here for some pictures) ~ the final amount raised was just over $1130.  How exciting!  Here’s one of the tables of crafty ladies ~

It was such a lovely day, with loads of home-baked goodies for morning tea and lunch and loads of prizes won in the afternoon raffle!

This day was held during Alzheimer’s Awareness week, not only raise funds but to raise awareness.  Karen and Diane from the local branches of Alzheimer’s Australia came along and had a chat to the ladies about the work of the Association and also encouraged them to speak to their doctor or call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500 for further information. 

A big thank you and hugs to everyone who came along to CraftAway – I hope you enjoyed yourselves, I certainly did!  Now onto finishing the promised 500 album pages ~ I’ve only got 83 days to go (what happened to the other 400?).
