Lots of goodies courtesy of fellow QP'ers, and due to Yvonne's hard work, some sponsors and donors. These were collectively "goody bag loot", table favours, door prizes and general party gifts. I probably forgot a book or pattern and I definitely ate some of the chocolate.

Susie's Hometown Swap was so much fun; my new friend and I are twins!

(I tried uploading this photo 6 times and no matter what it keeps rotating to its side, just like the fabric photos above)

I have beautiful yellow magnolia blooms on the tree that Mum gave me as a special Mother's Day gift ten years ago. This is the first year it was covered in blooms that actually opened.

Last year there were over 50 buds but a late freeze killed them all off before they were able to bloom. Every other year there were no more than 3 or 4 blooms. It is a beautiful tree that we are planning to move out to the new place with us.
