That bracelet exchange sounds fabulous ;) :) <br /><br />I also loved all the food you shared here :) :) Especially the gluten free onion tart. That&#39;s really thoughtful. I&#39;m gluten free and I&#39;m having a hard time explaining that to some friends...<br /><br />Have an awesome Happy Christmas.

If only someone had thought of that for the ladies Christmas party I attended a number of years ago now when I used to attend a larger church. I had just given a talk/demo on gifts and gift wrapping and at the end of the evening there was the &#39;secret santa&#39; under $5 gift exchange that the organizer had arranged. Choose a wrapped gift from under the tree and see what you get. I had brought along a beautiful tea light set. I wrapped it and embellished it with ribbons and flowers. The girl who received it was thrilled. What did I get? It smelled fishy - it was fishy, a tub of fish fertilizer! I just did not know what to say but the look on my face was priceless apparently and the ladies around me could not believe someone had brought fish fertilizer as a gift or that I the person who had just spoken on giving gifts with thought and consideration (even on a budget) got the dud gift of the night! I never found out who brought that and whether they meant it as a joke or not! It didn&#39;t even look like a new tub either and I didn&#39;t have a garden at the time. I laughed it off and avoided the whole gift exchange idea at my own seminars. But now for next year you have given me two brilliant ideas - so thanks Ang and a very Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family from Australia (pray it doesn&#39;t rain for me on Christmas day - planning on an al fresco dinner!)Ann at eightacresofedenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18059024.post-92182318782197099672011-12-19T22:52:04.584-05:002011-12-19T22:52:04.584-05:00I&#39;m for a late winter purse blitz ...<br /><br />I haven&#39;t laughed that hard since we all sat together 17 years ago and the balcony fairy strutted her high pitched &quot;how great thou art&quot; srains ... &#39;member?cityfarmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01123857662106999560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18059024.post-78183619954132053322011-12-19T20:02:04.911-05:002011-12-19T20:02:04.911-05:00This looks like a blast!
