Secret Garden Christmas Party

This group of friends really know how to treat ourselves to a great Christmas Party.... We bring gifts and then steal them from each other...making for some really funny pictures...I love these ladies!~ my gift this year were the pots with succulents, I painted chalkboard paint on the rims and then wrote their names, made for terrific place cards on the table. Merry Christmas, Ann, Sue, Sue, Cathy, Helen,Liz, Elsie and Carole, can't wait for next year!
