What a week

Last week was a very busy time for me.....  family BBQ on Saturday 7th, Birthday on  Monday 9th, Tuesday Devon Pixies with the girls.

Oooops no photos of the BBQ, forgot.

Corinne gave me this most wonderful gift..... 

Old Country Roses bauble, my favourite pattern.

Gavan gave me a beautiful bracelet.... its more lovely than this photo shows.

This cute little carriage was from Heather and June.

                                            Then a rest with a coffee and biscuit.

Wednesday was our Tenpin Bowling Christmas Party, no photos there either.

 Wednesday evening June, Corinne and me went to  QPAC  and here we are waiting for the show to start.... it was  fantastic, so glad we were able to see it.

Yesterday we had a lovely lunch with friends at Waterford and then home for a rest with coffee and cake.

Well it was a very busy week and it makes me feel tired just thinking about it but in the nicest possible way of course.....

Thanks to everyone who made this week so special.

 These are the gifts I sent to Dzintra for the 6 Item Swap organised by Maree.

Something for the Christmas tree and something to eat.

                             Something for the sewing room.

                               Something to read and something smelly.

 There is also something for under the tree so I'll show that after Christmas.

 I was working on a Christmas gift today but can't show photos yet.

Lots to tell....photo overload

I am so lucky to be able to call these girls..... friends......

I knew they were getting up to no good...

but I still love them.

We had a great day celebrating my birthday enjoying High Tea at Devon Pixies......

                                   can you see the cute little teapot on the plate ?

These cup cakes were fantastic

Tereasa arrived with a huge pressie for me, yep that's it in that beautiful bag she made.

and this terrific tree was inside..... love it

                                              A wonderful pressie from Teresa

                                             and yes I love this little tea pot too.

 This very fat Bon Bon was from Sandi and tucked inside was 3 Darrel Lea Rocky Road choccies.     No photos of those and I'm sure you know why.

Woohooo I have got a "Tag" of my own...... love it Sandi......

This card brought us all to tears .... with laughter of course.....
can you guess who these  6 funny looking chickens are ?

if you could only see Sandi's little captions inside.... she knows us so well.

          Laurel gave me this Journal and soap.... I am a lucky girl.

These lovely candle holders are from Norreen...... yes love these too.

You girls are so special and I treasure your friendship so much... Thanks for the fun day.

I joined Maree's 6 Item Swap and  I received this parcel  from Cheryl .... 

Something to eat..... there were yummie chocolates in this box but not now.

Something to read...... Oh Cheryl you really did spoil me with this book, I nearly bought it at the QLD craft show but resisted so how spooky is that......

Something for the Tree....  a very cute ornie.

Something for the Sewing Room...... I will put all of these to good use.

Something smelly..... How good is my wardrobe going to smell.

All my goodies together..... almost.... there is Something for Under the Tree, so I am looking forward to opening that one.

  Thank you so much Cheryl.... all these gifts are terrific.
