Oops - more Christmas Cards & unusual present
Good evening ladies.
The oops is because whilst pottering around this morning before going to meet Caroline I spotted that on the top of a corner unit in our dining room I was still displaying 4 Christmas cards. So they haven't appeared in the slide show. Also on Tuesday I was given a Christmas Card that had been left for me at the craft shop down the road & today I met up with Caroline to exchange Christmas stockings & that included her Christmas Card to me. So will photograph them tomorrow & put them on tomorrows blog.
I had a nice few hours with Caroline - we visited a wholesale store on the Wirral & I bought some things towards next Christmas. Yes! I really am getting organised. But - of course I will have to remember where I have put them. Afterwards we went to the garden centre behind Hulme Hall & had lunch & a good long natter. Very nice indeed.
When I got home I had received a parcel from one of the online sites I buy things from. The one I got most of the Christmas raffle prizes from - some more bargains, including a free stamp set. Very nice.
I mentioned above exchanging Christmas stockings with Caroline. Each year for some time now we have made each other up a Christmas stocking - but the weather beat us this time so we have only just managed to meet up. So I have had another Christmas day.
Early in the evening Gareth popped in to see us & he remarked on the Christmas goodies (choccies etc) still on the table in the lounge. If I put them in the cupboard they will probably get forgotten - so I have left them out. That brings me to unusual present. Russ & Nadine gave me a presentation box of a Toast rack & Marmite. I know its not to everyones liking but I was brought up on Marmite. The only thing was they also gave me a bar of chocolate - with Marmite in. I mentioned to Gareth that I hadn't had the courage to try it yet. So! I asked if he would like to give it a try - with me having some as well. He said he would try it - so I opened the wrapping. First thing is a light Marmite aroma. The chocolate bar was quite thin. So courage in both hands - well mouth actually - we tried it. It was actually quite nice. You could sense the Marmite but it wasn't overpowering. So there you go.
Before Gareth arrived I had been up in the craft room & made 3 quick cards. Yes! - three. They were quick ones using papers & toppers again from my stash. I am putting them all in a box - then at the end of the month I will photograph them & post a slide show.
After all that excitement - I am tired enough to think it is time for bed. Whatever you are doing this weekend I hope it is enjoyable. Let's hope the weather is reasonable.
More tomorrow. Night, night.
