Boxing day…….

This arrangement was given to me my a very special friend and this was the centrepiece of our main table yesterday morning for our family breakfast –

Made with Australian Native …..

Our day started early 5am…we had 29 of my DH’s family for breakfast….10 were missing….lots of fresh fruit, yogurt, pancakes, muffins, bacon, egg, sausages, tomatoes, toast, fruit  juices, flavoured milks, tea and coffee……everyone was very happy when they left…

My poor old Mum was not well, so our lunch plans changed a little, but, the baked dinner was still on…..it was just later into the evening, but all good…

I hope you all had the most perfect day …and those celebrating today…enjoy…..

I have received the most amazing swap prezzies…can’t wait to show them to you…..

Happy Boxing Day

Take Care Peg….xx

The moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

Fat quarter…and there is still one more parcel to open on Christmas day…

IMG_7652

There is a story….two weeks ago I sent these off to my 6 Items Swap Partner Jenny…..they did have a little way to travel but only to QLD…

after 10 days…..there were a few emails…. has it arrived? …no….I was beginning to think the parcel may have been lost…we had all checked with the PO…nothing…………..

it was now 15 days since I had sent the parcel…and guess what.. Tuesday it rocked up on Jen’s door…..(I could not have asked for a better day for the parcel to arrive as Jen did need a little cheering up, if you have been reading Jens blog you will know why…)..

So…these are the goodies I had made ……

Thanks Maree it was a fantastic swap…..xx

Happy Thursday (can you believe it) three sleeps…

Take Care Peg….

Keep your Christmas-heart open all the year round.
