 Good Morning Bloggers...it is December and the busiest time of the year for me! I had a loooooong weekend with back to back gatherings and parties with friends and clubs....what fun....Thursday was my "Stitch n; Chicks" party, and although it was a smaller group this year, due to illness and such, we still had our usual terrific evening! Patricia won the door prize Angel, Debb [me] won the "Christmas" colors contest. We exchanged gifts and of course sang our Christmas song[with changed wording to match our group] and ate a yummy meal!!!

 Next Friday was my Red Hats party with the Social Butterflies.... :) It was at the Vice Queen's house and she put on a fabulous affair...we entered to her player piano playing Christmas songs, all indulged in song yummy food and then drew tickets to choose our gifts that were under the tree, I got a beautiful cashmere scarf and gold pin, then the VQ continued to serenade us with Christmas songs that we all joined in on singing...a fantastic evening...I even won the cutest toy soldier ornament as one of the door prizes....thank you ....
