This week the Gupshup Ladies Group had a wonderful catch up after our break, reconnecting with familiar faces and welcoming new ones.
Today we made earrings from scratch, some are keeping theirs, while others plan to gift them to loved ones. It was a lovely creative activity that encouraged teamwork and refining their fine motor skills.
