Another busy day today - but think most people's calendars get pretty full this time of year. I'm hoping to stay home tomorrow and work on Christmas cards!! I went to a Southern Living Luncheon today. We had 12 ladies there and great food. We each made something from the Oct, Nov or Dec issue of Southern Living. Yum!! We had appetizers - meatballs & bruschetta; 2 salads - a pear and lettuce salad and another one with broccoli, cheese, mayo, cauliflower; potato-onion soup; 2 kinds of bread - Sour Cream Cornbread (my contribution) and Jordan yeast rolls; ham and sweet potatoes. Then of course we had to finish it off with 2 desserts - a fruit tart and apple cake. Needless to way, I could have waddled home!! Luckily, we only have these luncheons every 3 months so we can diet in between. I made little favors for everyone as seen below. I used the cute Candy Wrapper Die from the Holiday Mini (it will be carried over after Christmas!) I put a couple of chocolate nuggets in the box and they looked so cute on the table.
This evening we met my mom in Mooresville for a Christmas dinner/party with her Blind Association group. Our family was well represented with mom, my sister, Angela, my sister, Marianne & her husband and me and my hubbie. My mom is legally blind - she has Retinosa Pigmentosa. They also did a Chinese Gift Exchange. Since, I didn't go home after our luncheon to get my gift for the exchange, I used the gift I'd received earlier in the day. So, when my number came up, the gift was still available, I picked it and hoped no one would "steal" it from me. Well .... I should have known - my sister, Marianne, stole it!! So I got to pick another gift. Unknowingly, I picked the gift she had brought - a cute pair of soft slipper socks with a cute reindeer on them. When we left, she gave me back my gift - I would use them more than she would. She just stole it to "get my goat!"
I promise - I'll have some cards to share with you tomorrow!!
