I have time for just one more post before Christmas, so I thought I would share my prayer group luncheon table. I told myself to take pictures of the party so you would know it was a real one, and not just tablescaping for the blog, but alas, I forgot. That’s what happens when you are having too much fun. I did take photos before my guests came, and I’ll share those with you.
I also found these adorable boxes that I filled with European chocolates and gave as party favors to my guests.
I used my tag paper punch, and some fun Christmas paper to make the name tags. My sleigh was crying for a Santa, so I put this chocolate Santa in there.
I had such a wonderful time with my prayer partners – Jill, Carol, Sharron, and Sonia. (Lore couldn’t make it.)
And since this is my last post before Christmas I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you. You have made my life fuller, richer, and better. I appreciate all of my bloggy friends. Some of you I know in person, some just from comments left here and here. And some of you just breeze in and out without saying much, but that’s okay. However you came, I appreciate you and thank you for visiting.
And while I am being thankful, I thank God that he sent His son here for each of us. It is easy to forget the real Christmas message. He is our blessed hope. To celebrate Christmas, I have included one of my favorite Christmas songs here. It’s an old one from Amy Grant, Emmanuel.
ENJOY and MERRY CHRISTMAS.
