Happy Birthday!!

Last Saturday was "Crop Day" when Allie and I go and meet with friends in Chorley to (in theory) crop.  We started out as a scrapbook group and we all duly brought along our stash and created LOs but over the years we have morphed into a kind of crafty group who sometimes do some LOs, sometimes make cards, sometimes   knit, sometimes cross stitch but mainly have brews, eat lots of biscuits and cake, talk and laugh and it is that last thing which I think has kept us so close - we laugh a lot!!

This January we worked out it was our 8th Birthday and over those 8 years we have been through all the ups and downs of each other's lives offering support, advice and just generally shoulders to cry on and I would now class us not as a crop group or a craft group but a group of friends - friends for life!

One thing that stood us apart from a lot of crops when we first started is that we allowed children to come along so as well as a group of adult friends there is also a group of children who have grown up together and are also good friends so when we had our "birthday" photo taken (well we are originally all scrapbookers) we had to have one with the kids too
