We left for Welkom just before 2pm on Friday to try and miss Friday evening peak hour on the road ... we were lucky, need I say more. We had a good drive and arrived at the Calodonian Club in Welkom at 4:30pm. We quickly packed out and set up the club for the scrap day on Saturday. After setup was out of the way we headed to Carol's house where we were sleeping over for the weekend, had a quick drink and set off to Jenny's house where we had a delicious chicken pie supper. Before supper Jenny demonstrated to the girls how one makes an album cover from cardboard and handmade paper. I will definitely give this a go. After supper the girls each got an circle iris folding easel card kit from me and everyone got going with the easel card ... with not much help from me, but definitely from some Amarula and red wine flowing freely. Everyone headed home quite late to get a good rest before the fairy scrapping excitement on Saturday. The first four photos below, Conroy took and were taken just before sunset on Saturday. The girls were quity chirpy and one would not say that they had a serious hard day of scrapping behind them. I did not manage to get away by not dressing as a fairy as well and were eagerly given some fairy attributes to put on by my darling fairy friends.

Above: Jane Hayward sported her fairy persona right through the day and the non-fairies judged her to be the most adorable/dedicated fairy.
Jenny Fourie won the Grand Prize.

I just would like to thank all the girls for their wonderful hospitality, enthusiasm and planning that made the weekend such fun. We left for Johannesburg early Sunday morning.
Hey this looks like great fun, what a charming bunch of fairies you all made. My favorite two fairy ladies are in pink with the skirt and then the lady with the green crocks.
