Izy,
You told Grandma Cindy that you and your friends are all British ex-pats. May I ask what that mean?

Grandma Cindy

I believe it means expatriots, formerly from and living in England. ?

Izy

Yes it means we are all originally from Britain - ex patriotic, I think you could say it means that all the British who have 'left' their country are not loyal to it!

Its just a phrase that is used to described a Brit living abroad!!

I love the pictures!
Such happy faces!
The wallhanging the Elle is doing is beautiful!

There's a store here in the mall that I came across that has "pictures" that are TOTALLY hand embroidered. AWESOME! Made me think of everyone in Spain.
I tried to take a picture of one of them, but the shop owner wouldn't let me :(

I'm glad everyone enjoyed their "Christmas". Looks like everyone had a great time and I'm sure they are going to ask you weekly if you have recieved any more packages. lol

Izy

Yes it was so funny....they were so keen to get into the bags, just like little kids, infact I have NEVER seen them so focussed tee hee!!

A few of the girls didn't make it to class this week, but never mind it means I get to be mummy santa next week too!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I loved the picture of them all around the table.
Looked sort of like sharks on a feeding frenzy. lol

I loved seeing the pics of your fiesta! It looks like a group I would love to belong to. You can see the friendship through the pictures, thousands of miles away. Make sure you tell all the members how lucky they are to have each other!

Izy

We do realise how lucky we are to have found one another :D :D :D

Glad you enjoy watching us having fun!!! Wouldn't have been the same without all the help of my friends here - you're all great!! :D :D :D

Izy thank you so much for sharing these photos! They all looked so excited and happy to receive their pressies!! I have to agree with Terri about her favourite photo being everyone around the table as though on a feeding frenzy!!! LOL

If this little Santa event is to happen again, I will definetely want to be part of it!!!!! You have a wonderful sewing/quilting group over there and there is amazing talent in your circle of friends!
