Today was our Newcomer's Christmas party and, WOW, was there a lot of food. But not as much as in the past. Usually everyone brings a dish and it is overwhelming with about 100+ people all bringing food!! This year the alphabet was split in half. The first half brought a dish to share and the second half brought a bag of canned goods for the Soup Kitchen. I was in the second half but I took pity on one of my friends who doesn't cook and volunteered to make a dish for her. Another gal was supposed to do it but she wasn't able to come today. We loaded three cars up with food to take to the Soup Kitchen pantry!! Along with the food we took, we also made baskets for the seniors in the community who are not as well off as some and we brought toys and/or clothing for the children who are in need. These items were loaded on a Christian Missions truck for distribution at Christmas.

Starting to load the items onto the truck - a really foggy day! |
Plenty of food for everyone and more being brought in! |
OK - on to my Paper Craft Crew creation for this week. I turned to MDS and Season of Style Pocket Card kit to create this festive card:
