Get together with FRIENDS

I had a wonderful time yesterday with our yearly get together with the Local OSS girls. I was great to meet Sally she was the only one that I hadn't met yet. Of course there was way too much food and Pansy brought more than her share of wonderful sweets. I tried to be really good but there was so much lovely handmade food, the sausage rolls Jaki made were just divine, Maria made her little cute puddings and Glennie had a plate of beautiful fruit with this cream and something dip oh it was just delicious I think I nearly ate the whole platter.. The kids did enjoy the marshmallows and dipping them into chocolate themselves. We did get a lovely surprise from Tracey she was able to take sometime off and enjoy sometime with us.
Thank you Jaki for your handmade Chrissy card and little decoration to hang on MY Christmas tree and Thank you for the chocolates too Pansy. I hope all you ladies had a great morning cause I sure did, Jamie did go to stay with his nanna and he of course was a little angel.

This is the Chrissy card I got from Jaki and her little hanging decoration (THANK YOU again) and also in the mail yesterday I got this beautiful handmade card from Sam, thank you I love it and so much work has gone into these... thanks for one they are special....

Afterwards I went and caught up with Nikki and we went to lunch and did exchange our Christmas gifts... She gave me the Designing With 2007 calendar, this is just so awesome something I liked but would never had bought myself.... Thank you Nikki I love it.... and I did give her a PINK of course AMM Urban Chic Tote-ally cool TOTE, she has been wanting one of these for ages and I finally found one....

This is the calendar if you haven't seen one before.

Ok on the Chrissy shopping front, well I am getting there. Have to find something else for Charlene and Matthew, have bought Charlene a few things but have to take them back because next minute I find out she has already bought them!!! She is hard enough to buy for and she keeps going out and getting everything for Stephen to buy her for Christmas. Am going to go to the Hyperdome first thing in morning and take back a shirt I bought from the HOLDEN shop, cant believe I picked up the wrong size. I was in such a hurry and thought I had an XL but there was actually a 3 in front of the XL so this is definitely way too big for my hubby....

I think now Mum's shopping is now all complete, just have to go do the grocery shopping early Saturday morning I think. I am sure it will be an awful day to tackle the shops but if I go early and get a park I think we can get out of there before it gets too busy.

Oh I forgot this is my photo of the day, the mini quiches I made for our little get together!
