December 2nd

Eight of us gathered at Nancy's for a seasonally festive time of eating, exchanging cookies, and Yankee swapping -- oh and talking about the books we read too! (I think most of us had read at least one of the books...) Consensus was Astrid & Veronika was fabulous and interesting. Those who read the Mallory book loved it too.

The bag Karen made using her scraps of book fabric was definitely the coveted gift of the evening, but since Darla picked it and was in the prime position of #1, we all knew it was hopeless to swap with her. Lisa's gift of fabulous dishes snapped up that Mesa going-out-of-business sale was a close second. It was fun, but we're a tame bunch when it comes to Yankee swaps.
