Home safe and sound and exhausted BUT I have had the BeSt time in Sydney..................
chatting, late nights, eating out, tears, lots of LOL, shopping,
I am so tired...........
thanks to "MY FRIENDS" my luggage was HeAvY.....lucky I had space in my suitcase............
I am to tired to get a decent post organised so will share these group pics that others who were there may want to use.........
Thursday after closing waiting for girls to gather to leave together we had a quick catch up with SueAnne a surprise bonus as I didn't know she was there and I have been following her blog for quite a few years
the blog meet on Friday was wonderful..........
yep they are all bloggers there chatting............
does anyone have a better group photo......trying to get 33? bloggers organised for a group shot I think is impossible..............this one is missing a few girls on the edges.........
Saturday we hadn't planned a blog meet but were in desperate need for a cuppa and more food after a workshop and between a few phone calls and a quick email thank goodness for SMART phones we had another smaller gathering of girls.........
i'll come back with heaps more pics of the quilt show, shopping, catch ups, workshops etc........but for now i'm going to eat some tea and head to bed.............
bloggers are the best......all you girls are just so friendly and so much fun..........
wished I could rewind to Thursday morning and do it all again........(maybe I am to tired for that though)
Catch you later..............
An exhausted Chookyblue........
PS I'll try and go again in a couple of years...............might take that long for me and the bank account to recover lol............

So glad you had a great time. I love my blogging friends (modern day pen pals). At the moment one has a new baby on the way at 43 years old, one is a widow about to marry again, another has baby No 3 on the way - all so exciting and I get to share in it all! I love it!
Cheers - Joolz

Glad you got home ok, I had a good laugh at the weight of your luggage - no surprise LOL. My arm was throbbing on the way home and all day yesterday from carrying heavy bags around!!!

Wow what a weekend. Was fabulous and thanks so much for organizing a blog meet and all the Iintroductions. Now to download some pics etx will be frat to see them all. Ps love your luggage tag, just perfect to sum up a great weekend .
Looks amazing...what an experience!!
Oh Wow!! 33 bloggers - and I know a lot travel from a long way more for the blog meet than for the show - what a boost to Sydney's economy - not to mention the bank accounts of the vendors. Cant wait for more photos from everywhere - of people and goodies.
Yay Chooky Bloggers are the BEST...and you are pretty COOL too!!! Had a wonderful time...wonderful company...loved every minute...I'm so pleased to have put faces to names...I can't stop looking at what I bought ha ha!!! Now I just have to start it! Have a great week...and thanks again for organizing this!!! It was perfect xoxo
great to see you had a great time! Times like this are PROOF that crafting & sewing are good for a person's mental health, methinks... I wonder how much money you all spent, LOL
;-) Looks like you had the best of time !!
Love the photos....what a wonderful bloggy gathering!! Some very happy faces for sure!
I was just so nice to put faces to the names - thank you for making me feel so welcome. Cheers, SuziQ

That's it I'm moving to Australia! What fun it looks like you had.
I had a great day and it was fabulous to meet you. Wish we had more time to chat though...Never mind there's always email. Enjoy unpacking all your goodies...L xo
sounds like fun and memories, thank you for sharing
It looks like you had a wonderful time, how nice to meet other bloggers. It probably felt like you knew them already. I was sorry I couldn't go this time but I'm getting a new sewing room built so the funds wouldn't stretch, there is always next time.
It was the best! I loved the chance of meeting fellow bloggers. Thanks bunches for being the one to introduce us all and now I can put faces to names.
It was great to meet you on Thursday. Next time I will have to coordinate the timing better. I can't believe how many bloggers there were on Friday!
enjoy your well deserved rest.
Id better stop lurking and join the gang!..but, if I was a blogger..who would be the photographer?? (cant wait till next year!)Xx
Bloggy catchups are just the best...you all certainly look like a ball was had by all...mmmm, a couple of years - always wanted to do the Sydney Show...hope you've managed to get some decent shut eye in and are feeling less exhausted...
Wow, great to see so many bloggers together! You must have had a ball!!
Looking forward to hearing more about your adventure.
Chooky . . .thanks a heap for letting in a lurker. . .so nice to have been made to feel welcome . . .and none of you were scary at all! Soory we couldnt turn on a bit more sunshine . . . did you girls paint the town red on fri night????
