| Friends who flock together to craft, chit-chat & makan-makan. |
There is nothing more special than celebrating our 5th year together as a crafting group than having good company and sharing good food. I'm probably the last one to blog post and report on this special day, but I'm sure you'll notice I'm trying to catch up with everything else. It is good to note though that my crafting is ahead of my blogging, this blog afterall is about my crafting journal. But before I go on about this eventful day, I'm posting about the preparation that goes into hosting this special event. It's a picturesque post, so get ready...
