A change of plans

Due to some personal matters at home, I was unable to fly down to Brisbane today and meet up with the other Gum Tree Designers.
I know I have saddened the girls very much by cancelling at the 11th hour. They are extraordinary women, each one unique and beautiful of heart, each one a cherished friend. They will have an amazing four days together and forge closer bonds than ever before. I pray this is indeed 'the time of their lives'! :-)
My decision not to go was right for myself and my family, but there is a sorrow at not giving and receiving hugs between us all. 
On Saturday morning make sure you go to G J Walter Park in Cleveland, Brisbane if you can. The girls will be there waiting to meet you! :-)

Hugs
Jenny

How disappointing that your trip didn't come off. I'm sure you will get to meet the girls another time. It is more important that things are OK at home.
