Poppy News
WOW! Have you checked out the Outback Scrap details below...the classes are devine, must I say. They all sound great.

Thanks to Vicki Dowling and Rosemary Campbell who created and donated that wonderful quilt that we are raffling. Proceeds will go to Breast Cancer Research. Thanks to the staff at the Chemist who have the quilt on display in their window. Tickets are available at the chemist and at the Poppy. It will be drawn at our AGM meeting in September. So if you live in Hughenden please support this important cause.

Xmas in July Workshops
We have just had a busy weekend with workshops. The range of activities included Xmas Card making, an Appliqué Wallhanging, a “Present Drop” Santa sign and an exquisite scrapbook layout. Thanks to those who supported the activities and special thanks to those who tutored and assisted in the organisation. Follow up/finish up sessions are planned to complete all our goodies …. at least we have a few months !!! (ps...on a personal note I would like to thank KERRY D and Jen for there help with the workshops. Once again I was unable to be there due to my daughters health. I believe a great time was had, and I cannot wait to see the finished products. Alana)

Community Grant
We have been successful with our application for a Community Grant, which will allow us to air-condition the shop building. This will make the shop area bearable in those warmer months and keep the stock in better condition as well.

Shop Stock
Recent visitors to the shop have commented how they are impressed with the fresh look of the place and the interesting range of items on offer..
