Beautiful Friends

I am so lucky that through what started out as a hobby and quickly turned into an obsession I have met and made the most beautiful friends. Two ladies live in the same town as me and we quickly established a beautiful friendship. 
Yesterday we got together (which is a little hard to organise sometimes with work etc) . We went out to the Mountain Tea House for our Chrissy get together. Annette Picked me up at ll.30 and dropped me home at 5.30! We had a lovely day , the only mishap being Annette's car loosing it's antler , cough Kim! hehehe Never mind it is now a unique little one antler reindeer car.
Now Miss Annette would have to been the most thoughtful lady I know, she organised for Julie Winks http://thewinksplace.blogspot.com/ to do a layout for Kim for Christmas. It is a truly special gift and as always just amazingly beautiful. We all sighed and awed and ahhhrrred  and there were tears.

What could this be ?

OMG OMG

Love the happiness

Don't think Kim can believed  it

Yep its true, I think there is some tears of happiness happening there

Sorry you can't see the layout in the pic, trust me it is BEAUTIFUL. It is a layout of Kim and her hubby.

Isn't the gift of friendship the best thing :)
AND Annette and Kim gave me a wall decal of the Eiffel Tower, can't imagine why :) I think Annette is secretly trying to drive my husband nuts, you see being in the gyprock business, one thing he hates is putting things on the wall & he's not to fond of putting Xmas lights up...... Annette has given me heaps of lights hehehehe. He must like her though , as she is still getting in the front door.

Talking about front door's, Lisa Warren http://www.lifeasweknowit-blog.com/ decorated her front entrance, and it inspired me to do something with mine. The tree is a little piddly, but never mind , it makes the entrance more festive and I didn't want to spend to much.

Interesting teacups out at the mountain teahouse

Annette reckons this is a giraffe pulling a cart......right, never seen that before, but hey

If a Teacup can be in a tree....

So no layouts to share today, just beautiful friends and the joy some ones thoughtfulness can bring along with one very talented ladies work . As you can see Julie http://thewinksplace.blogspot.com/ your layout was just perfect. And to top the day off, Kim gave Annette and myself a gift voucher to spend at Craftqueen http://www.craftqueen.com.au/ , so..... we had to go SHOPPING ! :)
Wishing you all such people in your lives 
Cheers
