For Jill

As you know, from one of our previous posts, the lovely Jill at A Million Little Things kindly sponsored our altered bra challenge.

Jill unfortunately hasnt signed up with facebook or UKS so is unable to access Annies wonderful pics.

So we thought we'd upload a few of them here for Jill to see.

Once again, thanks to all that took part and to Jill for her very generous prize.








And our winner, chosen by you, our delgates was Karens entry:

Wow! What A Weekend!

We cant believe its over already *sad face* but we had a blast and hope you guys did too.

A massive thanks to everyone for making the weekend such a huge success, yet again. Makes all the hardwork worth it.

Wed also like to thank each and everyone of you for being so generous too, we raised an amazing amount for Breast Cancer Awareness.

However, this also wouldnt have been possible without our lovely sponsors who provided the prizes, thanks guys!

Good Luck to our very own 'Moonwalk' Girl, Sheena, Go Sheena!

We'll be back posting later in the week, but in the meantime, heres a few pics, courtesy of Anne Mills.

Quick Update.........

This year, we decided to do something different and source UK sponsorship with the exception of one person/store.

We're very pleased to announce that the Altered Bra Challenge prize will be sponsored by the wonderful Jill, at A Million Little Things.

A huge thank you to Jill and all our UK sponsors, without you none of this could happen.

Without further ado, our sponsors for our Spring retreat are as follows; (in no particular order, as they are all simply the best!)

Claires Class Sneaks

Claire has been working hard behind the scenes creating her class and we're pleased to show off her sneak peeks today.

Claire will be teaching 1 class and we have to say, it looks fab and a lot of fun.

Marias Class Sneak Peeks

Yes, we have even more sneaks today. Now its the lovely Marias turn.

Maria gave us a slight dilemma, as she sent 2 sneak peeks of each of her 2 classs, trouble is which one do you put on show.

Both classes are absolutely gorgeous, we just couldnt choose, so we've decided to let you see both sneak peeks of each class.

Cant wait to do these ones!
