What a beautiful day!.... Stitching, Food, Friends, Fundraising.
There were over 30 people here for lunch and a small stitching project all to help raise money for the starlight children's foundation. We raised $465.65 which was fantastic.
Of course I had some wonderful helpers including this one....isn't she sweet!

Busy stitching with a little help from cardy.

I'm oh so tired... Its been a Big day! But thanks to friends like Cardy a very successful one.
