Where you just can't begin to explain what happened??
I'm sure you guys don't really want to hear about Trash standing in the salad, or (later in the evening) Gillian falling off the couch and me dancing in Annie's kitchen with Lucy Locket tucked in my back pocket do you???
Of course yesterday we had the Trash and Treasure blog meet here in Ballarat and like anyone who has ever had a blog meet knows - it is just so much fun to hang out with people who get it !
And boy do they get it.......
would have to be the most interesting, funny and slightly loopy group of women I have spent a day with in a very long time. We shopped a little and talked a LOT !
If you want to see all the photos you'll have to visit all the other blogs because I was, of course far far too busy preparing things and being a hostess and dropping salad on the ground to actually take many ...... (talking non-stop and eating cake mostly)
It was a lovely day and we were all surprised to see Lucy Locket arrive. (She got a little untidy later in the evening....We told her not to mix her drinks )
and as for Trash........she is EXACTLY who you would expect if you read her blog.......only 100% more fabulously so !!!!
I keep trying to explain how much fun I had and how awesome each person is and I fear I am starting to sound a little Oprah-ish but as I drove home late last night from Annies place , with Lucy Lockett tucked in her seat belt in the seat next to me, after we had been blogmeeting for about 12 hours straight, I looked over at Lucy and she was still smiling that great big Lucy grin..........
and so was I !

Was the salad on a table? ;-)
So pleased you all had such a wonderful time - knew you would. I am extremely envious of the big meet up, but reading about it is a big consolation.
Seeing that pic of Trash makes me realise how much Princess C-Dub looks like her!

Great to hear you had a fun day, espesially Lucy, how funny. Lets know when you do it all again.
Sounds like such a fun day out...drats to the step witch!
Sounds like a fantastic day. I have been reading all the blogs and it sounds like a wonderful time was had by all.
I've been wandering around the house with a huge grin plastered across myself because I am so delighted to have been able to come along to the most fab blog meet - even if I was only 2-D and about 8 years old at the time! Thank you, thank you, thank you Jodie for taking me along too!
Locket xxxx
P.S I did warn you that Trashy really was as mad as she sounds!
Such a great day Jodie! I'm glad it ended well :)
What better way to finish a fab day out! Sorry I missed the dancing.... but VERY glad I was there for cake and talking!!!
Thanks so much for a lovely afternoon. It was nice to meet you and the rest of the bloggy crew! I'm sorry that I missed the end bits ... sounds like it got even better! See you in March!
It was a great day as usual, wish I had been there for the dancing at the end!!! I am quite good at it after a champers or two..or three or four...
Wow, sounds like I should have brought my sleeping bag and a crate of chardy.. I hope Gillian didnt drive home with a hangover!! Sounds like Lucy is a really stayer too, she really did get around yesterday didnt she.. Must have a sewing weekend.. It would be sidesplitting fun!!! Thanks for a great day..Jo
Just one word... Funny! Okay maybe more... What a great time!
Oh b-----, b-----, b-----!!!! Here I was, supervising smelly little children on the beach at the 'Bool....and I coulda been in ballarat with bloggers!!!
Now I am so traumatised I need a lie down....going to Stitchers and craft this year-I need someone to carry my purchases...LOL!!??
Tracey
I think we all wish we could have been there!
Next time, I'm going to do a Lucy and mail myself to you!!!
Your day sounds just as perfect as I knew it would be. What a wonderful bunch of bloggers to meet up with! Glad you had fun with Trashy - she knows how to party :-)

Sounds like the best kind of outing; food, friendship, and people who get it!
An amazing blog meet ! And funny!
Roll on March!
And I will stop with the exclamation marks now.
wow looks like aso much fun........saw tracey's comment about and was it her purchases or all the mags she scooped........
Dancing....nobody told me there would be dancing! I would have stayed a bit longer if I knew that!! What a great day it was.
I don't know if you could tell but I was super nervous to start with! I'm normally very very horrible amongst people but you ladies were such a blast I forgot to be nervous and had the best time! I'm just sorry I couldn't stay longer! Next time I'll rock up with a sleeping bag, you'll see!
Thanks for organising this and putting on such a great show and you know I have never seen a shinier kitchen floor! We could have tossed the leftover salad down there and eaten it!
(Did you know I was reading in one of my grandmother's sewing books that you are to NEVER sew with selvedge because it puckers horribly. You are to cut it off straight away and throw it out. Tsk tsk!)

Sounds unreal. I was so tempted to come to this but Fixit was working strange hours.
Us gals rocked!
Thanks Jodie for organising a fantabulous day. I had a ball meeting everyone and, surprisingly, no-one was an axe-murderer.
I too drove all the way back to Adelaide with a grin and I even managed to find a trash and treasure market on the way home!
Sounds like a good time was had by all!
Would have LOVED to have been there too-sounds like a special, fun day indeed:)
i am SO envious, but also laughing myself silly about lucy locket. sounds like such fun - i'd love to do it one day.

You guys are SO funny! What a fun group of girls. And look -- Trash has a Wilson pose picture!!!
Sound like a lot ao fun!
Oh Im soooo jealous, it sounds like everyone had a blast! Ballarat isnt too far away, so hopefully next time!
Wow, sounds like a hoot!! Cathy
Still not quite sure how it all happened or indeed what but I think on Saturday I seem to have
- have signed up for a quilting course at Ballarat Patchwork.
- learned how to self-pedicure with ceasar salad.
- incite sweet innocent Jude(it is Jude right?) to commit grevious bodily harm.
- and drag Locket into several dens of iniquity which left very tired and emotional by bedtime on all accounts (I wouldn't know I left early;-)
sounds like a lot of fun - good old Lucy for making the effort!
I'm green with envy ...sounds like you all had a fab time.
that sounds like so much fun!!! i love the cardboard cut out of Lucy. that's hilarious!
