GUESSING COMPETITON

Win yourself a RAK and guess how many sashes are hanging on the line...
They are all in view...

The person the gets the closest guess will get a RAK in the mail...

ADDIT: Bear in mind when guessing the amount, that these are for a whole wedding reception.... so think how many would be going to a wedding. The guesses so far are all really cold!!! There are 8 lines full of sashes....

Here are some balloons from the Dorathea McKeller Peotry Awards today.....
So thats a few things... more to come!
