JAI 176- Just Add Blokes

Hi, I'm back from the US and the 2013 South Pacific Incentive Trip. Thanks to Nikki for stepping in for my fortnightly posts. xxxx

Before we get onto this week's challenge, I'd like to share with you an experience I had at the North American 25th Anniversary Convention in Salt Lake City.  I was sitting down to lunch with some US demonstrators...two of them I had met the day before...but as we were chatting I realised that the lady I was chatting to, not only knew of JAI, but she had entered into our challenges! So of course we had to have a photo together. Thanks for chatting with me Karen Page! 

 So onto this week's challenge which is courtesy of Nikki.
