Time to go home, we all jumped in the car....looked up and saw these .....

Doesn't's seem as funny now though.....

They looked like robots watching us.....

Car seat covers......

No stitching today.....

Did do these ones earlier though, 40 flowers done so now on to the smaller ones....

We....the Tuesday girls did an advent swap again this year,  it is a lot of fun having a gift to open each morning leading up to Christmas day.....

Teresa gave to me for the first 8 gifts....

Aren't I a lucky duck ?

Thank you Teresa they are wonderful....

On the home front I have been working up a sweat fixing pavers that have sunk since the plumbing that was done a while ago......

A girl has to do what a girl has to do.....

Gavan's health doesn't allow him do the things he used to, Heather did come to help me and I was sooo pleased she did, not as agile as I used to be unfortunately......

Well that's it for now....

Toodles.....

What a day ......

An early Birthday celebration with the Tuesday Girls.......

My choice for the outing was to ride on the Brisbane Wheel and yummie pancakes at the Pancake Manor......

First things first....

starting with these gorgeous gifts from the girls....

Such a beautiful Christmas Tea pot from Norreen....

A very pretty plate and terrific Splendid Sampler book from
Teresa.......

Me of course.....

Creative goodies for scrapbooking from Sandi......

Thanks sooooo much girls.....

 I'm very lucky to get so many wonderful pressies and for your fantastic friendship.....

Love these girls and they are the best to spend a fun day with......

We started our excursion with a cuppa at South Bank....

Sandi brought a little friend along for the day.....

Then on to the Wheel.....

Ooooops don't look down......

The girls looking very relaxed.....

Teresa

Sandi.....

Well Nor isn't very relaxed but she did get better....

That's better.....silly sausage......

No explanation needed here I'm sure.....

A wonderful old building......

"Bananarama"

It was as good as it looks.....

Super......

Then on to the Queen's street mall.....
Decorated shop windows but sadly not great for taking photos....

Naturally being Christmas time one has to see Santa.....
Firstly we had to go on the train, very cleverly done.....
These scenes were all moving but we weren't although it did feel as though we were.....

I saw these gorgeous red shoes in Myer.....

Oh I do love red shoes.....

Mickey is 90 years young ....
NOT ME.......

So much fun to visit Santa......

He did say if we have been good that we should get lots of nice pressies.....
and of course we are ALWAYS good......lol....

Sights around the city.....

Walking back across the bridge.....

Thanks girls for a super day....

Toodles.....
