Hugs, Lidia

Very nice get together with friends and loved ones. Your mom is a trooper-great pic of you both side by side

All looks such fun and most delicious. Love the picture of you and your mum. Hugs Sarah.

Wow it looks so pretty and everybody looks so happy. What fun you must have had. Congrats and a great day.

Well, I can tell you all that a fabulous time was had by all of us, the camaraderie and laughter was as free flowing as the punch and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I came home exhausted and with a sore tummy from the laughter. What a fabulous bunch of ladies, we had an absolute blast!
Chris is the most elegant hostess and puts everyone at ease with her warmth and openness. The table was a picture that no camera could really capture to full effect and the food was perfection.
I feel so privileged to have (again) been included in this annual luncheon. Chris has been organising these for years, for her friends, and I'm the new kid on the block, though I'm starting to feel like I have known these ladies for years, they are all so warm and friendly.

Thank you Chris, for a truly fabulous day.
And My Heavens! The beautiful gifts you made for each of us.......
beyond words.
I took photo's of each of the ladies with their gorgeous aprons Chris made for each of us. I'll apologise for the poor quality, but the I-phone 5 is not a patch on the Nokia 95, unless lighting conditions are perfect.
Now let's see if I can remember all the names.......

Yes, I have been sick for some time but have had a few set-backs in the last couple of months. I ease in and ease out most of the time because I spent most of my time in bed or in a chair with my legs elevated. I sure do appreciate your thoughts and prayers. The crippling arthritis has gotten worse, almost with a vengence in the last few months, PLUS my computer crashed a few days ago. My son was pretty sure it was a goner but set his mind to getting it fixed and it is now back running and I did not have to buy another one OR start from scratch compiling all new designs. I do still have a mess because my desk-top looks like scrambled eggs. Alot of my designs are misplaced in other folders along with several companies designs all being in the same flders.. My son restored yet another Computer!!!! I got several serious virus and ended up downloading several trojans from a site that I went to from Cute Members postings. All of this happened the same day. It was about 4 days ago. I do not think I have been to sleep since it happened. 99% of my designs are on my computer only. I bought the Singer XL 1000 as soon as it was put in the stores. It was a very new product. The computer collecting started right after that! I would hate to think about how much money/designs I would have lost if my son had not been able to salvage the computer! That along with being sick has just about taken all of the air out of my sails! I am now trying to get my mess cleaned up and sort out just exactly what to do with all of it! Hugs, Linda

Dear Chris,
I'm impressed with your table decorations, they are just gorgeous! I see lovely smiles from you and your friends, this is so special! Love and hugs, Yoriko

Chris, everything and every body looks so nice. I wish there were more people out in our country area that enjoyed sewing as much as I do.
Have a wonderful Christmas. Hugs, Judy

Thanks for sharing your great photos with us. Pleased your dinner was such a success. Hugs Shirley
