Hi Cuties, it's late Wednesday evening. Trev and Ben have set up the tables out the back for me and I've been dressing the table this afternoon.
I've taken shots with a flash but haven't put the little battery candles in the decorations on the table under the centre-piece. Looking forward to catching up with the gals on Friday.
Each lady is getting one of those Shopping bags I make, a Gnome FSL Christmas tree decoration, a Reindeer hand towel for the bathroom, a 6 piece Celtic drink coaster set and a bottle of Chocolates from Trevor. He has also bought an individual little Plum Pudding for our dessert. Love Chris

Thanks Kim and it looks as thought it's going to be another hot day. It's gross outside at the moment at 2.30pm Thursday there's an eerie colour in the sky from all the dust and smoke! Love Chris

Thanks Angie, yes, they all say they can't wait to get here and see what I've done. I leave it up like this from tomorrow on too, only no gifts for our family like I've done for the ladies. Love Chris

Everything makes it look so festive! I adore your quilt and you, for all you do for these ladies. Give 'mum' a hug and Meg too from me. Merry Christmas to all!

Thanks Toogie, I will certainly pass on your regards. Mum is so looking forward to it as she is bringing a friend of hers that often brings her home from her Senior's concert every Wednesday. Her name is Carol and Mum gets on well with her. I take Mum to the concert and Carol brings her home. As Val has died and Babs, her previous friends, she likes to have someone who she knows to chat with. All of my friends get on well with Mum anyway. Love Chris

How lovely. Thank for sharing a peek of your wonderful party and favors. You are an inspiration, Chris. Have a great time and tomorrow, prop up your feet!

Hi Betsey, as they say there is no rest for the wicked. After the party is over I have to ring the Newcastle Court house as I've been called up for Jury Duty on Monday 9th December. I'm hoping that the case has been cancelled, but I won't know till 4.40 tomorrow afternoon. Then at 5.30 I have choir practice for our local church Carols by Candlelight on Saturday from 4-7.00. Life is busy at the moment. Love Chris

Thanks Shirley, the boys were great in setting tables up and moving my sewing table and sewing cabinet. The rest took me a bit longer to get it just right! Love Chris

Thanks Sandy, I'm a bit annoyed at the quality of the pictures as they go blurry when enlarged. I'll have to work out why that is happening. Love Chris

Thanks Miss Lillian, I just pray it's not too hot.
We have had the most dreadful bushfires all up the east coast of NSW and also into Queensland and as I speak I'm looking out my back room and there is an eerie glow of orange and yellow making everything look weird. The atmosphere is full of smoke and people who have asthma have been asked to stay inside. Love Chris
