I find myself repeating those words over and over again in regards to the weekend we just had at Black Sheep Gathering.

Here is a sneak peek at what came home with us…

Blue ribbons for all of our Fiber Arts entries and the shocker of all was that my jacket won the Black Sheep Cup…the Best in Show of the Fiber Arts show!  I still can’t believe it!  More about that later…this post is all about the sheep show.

Thanks to Coleen and Toni for taking photos while we were in the ring!  Coleen did double duty and helped us show as well.

I love showing sheep as a family!
