More on Valentines

At our luncheon we even had raspberry in our glass...now that is
elegant.  If you know me I'm not a big chocolate person...in fact if it's chocolate I can leave it but....if it's lemon I'm in!  look at that tray of lemon treats....YUM!  they were very good to eat!
Next up are a few more of our swaps I didn't show in last week's post here .  Muriel made a fun honey-pop card.  Brenda created a card with her own free hand cloud and umbrella.  Petti did a wonderful pop-up card using a SU die and also a popper from the envelope maker.  Susan is a terrific sewer so she made puffed hearts.

Hope you enjoy this look at our swaps this year at our luncheon get together with my friends.

Valentine luncheon

Earlier this week myself and some friends had a wonderful Valentine
luncheon at our friend Leslie's house.  She sets a beautiful table with all the trimmings..the food is delicious.  We had beef bourgugnon for the main dish with a delectable salad before the beef dish.  Then after that what I like to call finger deserts so you can have one of each and not feel guilty.

See all our bags lined up as we filled them with all our swaps.

After all of that, we had a valentine card swap and boy, even if I say so myself we are a talented bunch of gals.  We even had some fun with our group picture.  You never know what type or style of card/project you will receive with our swaps.  It seems each year we out do ourselves and this year is no exception.  I will show a few pictures here and remember you can click on any of the pictures to see a bigger view. Maybe next week I'm show some more pictures.  Hope you enjoyed this viewing into our Valentine luncheon.

Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow!

That's the word for the week....SNOW!  it snowed yesterday, will snow again on Wednesday and this weekend. I wish Mother Nature would have thrown her weather tantrum last week instead of this week because she just might spoil my plans for this coming Monday with friends! we have our annual Valentine luncheon shedualed for Monday and I know none of us want to miss it besides the fact our hostess Leslie always goes all out to spoil us.  We also have a card swap between us all.  You can look  here and here to see some pics from past years.  It would be a shame to miss out this year just because of snow.

My postal carrier started down our street around 4:30 in the afternoon yesterday but she didn't make it because our street wasn't plowed, yet.  Unfortunately she stopped to fill our mailboxes (there are 4 in front of our house) and she got stuck in the snow so she naturally she gave her jeep the gas and did a 360 spin.  That ended her delivering the mail to the rest of the street.  Can you believe that our postal service doesn't have 4 wheel drive in their jeeps!  especially here in the northeast with our snow.  Legally I don't think any postal carrier has to deliver mail if it isn't plowed so I give her thumbs up for trying.  We did finally get plowed around 7 p.m.  Guess that's it for today's snow saga.  keep warm.
