To celebrate our first year up and running, we had a brilliant party, loads of laughter and loads of goodies. We had a great crowd out, joining me was Barbara, Heather G, Jackie, Dorothy, Georgina, Pat, Anne, Hilary, Heather, Margaret, Gillian, Rebecca, Ingrid, Jennifer and Rosemary. Michelle from Blythswood joined us and was delighted with our donation, she spoke to the girls and told them how much everything that we have done is appreciated. Pat also celebrated her 55th wedding anniversary - fantastic!!
Well girlies - here we go - party photos:
Firstly, many, many thanks to our supercook Jackie who baked us the most gorgeous madeira birthday cake. She covered the cake with hearts and hands to represent Loving Hands and we appreciate all her effort with that. Also, she brought homemade apple puffs and german biscuits - yumm!! Here is her cake:

Most of the girlies realised that I am easy confused and left their weeks donations to next week (thanks girlies).

Finally, I counted up how much has been donated over the past year, and here are the totals: 256 blankets, 18 adult jumpers/cardis, 175 childrens jumpers/cardis, 404 hats.
Well done to everyone who has supported us over the past year and I look forward to many a laugh in furture meetings.
