ABCD Sydney Winter Meetup - better than a birthday

Saffron Craig - Saturday, July 02, 2011
This week's ABCD Meet-up was the biggest it has been. I suppose winter is the perfect time to spend an evening inside a pub eating pizzas and having a glass of our favourite bevvie. Our private room at the  gorgeous Three Weeds Hotel was full of wonderful people. There were many delighted faces when people greeted each other. I felt like I have really made friends now and my initial nervousness was not to be found this time. So much to talk about with one and another, sharing tricks of the trade and contacts. So important to have nice thoughts bubbling through my brain.

The goody bag was seriously amazing. I took a picture of half its content and have started a wee scrap book for all the wonderful cards, tags, stickers etc. that come with the bag each time. What happened to the other half? Well it went into little mouths, got clipped into hair, made into drawings and put on shelves to decorate my house. Better than a birthday. More stylish anyway :)



You might want to check out a few fellow bloggers.
