Today I went to our blogger group's Xmas party break-up at Garden City. As always we had a great time with lots of eating, talking and a little stitching on the side.
We had a Secret Santa Swap also and the person who was to receive my gift was Sandi. Below is what I made. A Christmas wall hanging and a bon bon with chocolates.

| The bonbon has a Theadora button on it. |
I received my gift, beautifully wrapped, from Teresa. It was a lovely table runner containing some pretty Xmas fabrics and stitcheries.
Thank you so much Teresa I love the runner and the little Xmas Angel ornament. My space sure looks messy doesn't it? We all got a few extra bits and pieces too.
A bon bon with fabric & wine glass markers, some choccies, a little lace angel , a felt star with more chocolates & a fabric star ornament. Thank you to all the wonderful ladies who gave these extra goodies.
Below are some photos of the day.

| Everyone catching up, lots of secret gifts, lots of delicious food. |

A big Thank You to Maree who organized the day, we all had a wonderful time. All too soon it was time to head home so I will close with a photo of our fun loving Helen, wearing flashing Santa earrings and a Rudolph nose.
Teresa, Sandi and I all came with Helen so the fun didn't stop till we arrived home. Thank you for the lift Helen, very much appreciated.
Till next time........ Happy Stitching............
What a great day and sew many beautiful gifts swapped.
