to swap our secret santa parcels and eat some Christmas goodies.
actually I've been kinda busy this year and missed most of the get togethers,
but I'm hoping for some more balance in my life next year.
{good china is a cup that matches it's saucer}
and set the table pretty and then enjoy each other's company.
Being all crafty girls one way or another, there were lots of creative ways
to make the recipient feel loved.
We are so fortunate here in Christchurch to have developed a friendly group
who get together on a regular basis.
(On a side note, if you live in Christchurch are don't spot your name on the list
send Miriam an email. She's the keeper of the list.)
Must ask Miriam for the recipe for her little fruity balls,
they were delicious.
Juliet made snickers bar rocky road. Yummy indeed.
We are going to see if we can get a national get together sorted for next year
but it's quite a big job, we'll see how it goes.
It's been great over the last two years which have been fairly difficult here in Christchurch
to have a group of like minded folks to get together with (or just keep in touch with)
and I'm sure our friendships have grown faster because of our situations here.
I actually can't wait for 2013.
It's a fresh start just around the corner.
Thank God for fresh starts.
Looks like so much fun Deb! Im gutterd I wasn't there, I love you ladies and its been a real joyful part of my life having you all in it
