Seeing as I was reallllly slack last year with blogging, I feel I should do a couple of catch up posts, especially some that involved one of my favourite times of the year - Yep - Christmas...
The Tuesday Girls gifts this year centred around 5 smallish gifts using the letters S A N T A,
and a main present...
We could interpret the S A N T A letters anyway we wished and believe me, I took advantage of these loose guidelines..
Before I show what I did, let me show you what the other girls gave me..
The table was looking very festive.
Norreen had taken her gift wrapping to another level by placing all her S A N T A gifts into individual bags - love it...
Here are my S A N T A theme gifts from Nor, can you guess what they are?
S - Snail
A - Angel
N - Noel (on the bauble)
T - Treat
A - Angel
The main gift from Nor - I am thinking a long term project - the kind that last for a long time..lol
My gifts from Teresa... Teresa put a lot more thought into this than we had and I was really impressed with her take on it.. (Mental note to self - lift ones game...) Each gift was presented exactly how she wrote on the note...
Teresa's main gift to me - I am starting a little collection of cute pots and I can't wait to add some plants to this one (probably a herb like parsley)...
Helen's gifts to me...
S - Sue's Relish
A - Apricot and Macadamia Paste
N - Napkins
T -
A- Arse Wipes
Helen's main gift to me... It may not look interesting but sometimes I dabble in card making and I have always wanted one of these - very exciting toy as far as I am concerned...
Here is my interpretation -
S - spools
A - a pattern with kit
N - Needle book
T - Treat
A - another pattern..
Here are my main gifts..
To Helen...
To Nor... I also made three christmas mini's for a frame she owns but I dont have any photo's of them - if I get a photo later in time, I will amend my post..
For Teresa - I did up a collection of goodies from Jamworks (an all Australian company situated at Applethorpe.. They specialise in jams, relishes, sauces etc and they are delicious.. I also tracked down some Teddy bear Sunflower seeds (cause I knew she was after them previously) and made a sunflower coaster as well..
Here is a photo of a Teddy bear sunflower...
We have a tradition within our group and that is to head to The Fox and The Hound for lunch, and this year we stuck to tradition..
Some exploring and a bit of fun before our meals arrive...
Nor met a fella...
Playing with a large poster.
Saying hello to the corgis. They are looking much healthier this year..
Teresa telling this fellow her deep dark secrets...
I wonder if she is amused??
Nor is up for a cuddle...
Wonder if this one is single??
Drinks, dinner and dessert... ummm arrrrrh
Well I think I have covered everything - thanks girls for a wonderful christmas celebration and for your fabulous gifts.....love ya heaps..
