Ladies Only Champagne Holiday Brunch

For many years I have hosted a 

"Ladies Only Champagne Holiday Brunch"

Besides deviled eggs and a meat tray the buffet includes sausage cheese balls and cheesy hash brown potatoes.  It is something that Julia Childs would approve of, it includes a stick of butter, 2# of cheese, and a pint of whipping cream poured over the top.

I fit 20 people into my little house (That's Billie the cat on the back of the couch)

I made petite fours for the first and last time...Can we say pain in the butt!

And the guest of honor.....Mimosa's

We eat and then do an ornament exchange, it is so much fun to get together with just the girls at this special time of year.

Mommy and me

You know the song, "All though it's been said many times, many ways"......Well, indulge me as I thank you, I had no idea when I started blogging 7 months ago the wonderful people I would meet.  The support and friendship was not something I was prepared for.  It is not that the people in my life don't love and support me, it's that they don't get my shabby, romantic, crafting, world like you do.  I have learned so much, from such generous bloggers.  I feel so intimately tied to your cats, dogs, kids, booths, online stores, craft projects, health, and happiness.  You have enriched my life

So,  "All though it's been said many times, many ways"

Merry Christmas to you!
