Pretty Paper Wreath

I found this photo stashed away in my "to do" file on my laptop just now. Thought I would share it with you, I found it here. I think I need to make one of these for Christmas. I know Christmas is a while away yet but I am going to a "Christmas in July" Dinner tomorrow night with my craft group girls. This will be our second year running and it's lots of fun with a great bunch of crafty critters. We all have to bring a present to put in a lucky draw/secret santa, the criteria is it must come from "The book Depository" and must cost $10 or less. Can't wait to see what everyone has bought. I can't post mine here just yet in case anyone reads this before tomorrow, as it is meant to be a secret santa - you get the picture !

Christmas in July

Cherries on the table Strawberry bouquet Christmas tree A halo on my head ( almost ) On Saturday night my little craft group got together for a Christmas in July dinner. There was no crafting done that night, just lots of chatter, nibbling on lovely nibblies, and a fabulous meal and lots of red wine. We enjoyed the best baked ham, basted with maple syrup - it was so yummy. We also had lovely meatballs with cranberry sauce and loads of roast vegetables and salad. To finish off we had pecan pie, cheesecake and brownies. Leannes little cottage was decorated so beautifully for the occasion, we had a kris kringle and it was a really fabulous night. It was my first, and hopefully not my last, ever, Christmas in July - it is so much nicer to eat hot Christmas type food in winter rather than summer. I think we should change Christmas to July !!
