What a night! Lauren, Pat, Colleen, Patricia, Donna, and Debb were there, we missed you Denise....We all sat down and of course ate first....the Lasagna was terrific -veggies and salad and jello salad, and so many varieties of scrumcious breads, Patricia even made some green "Friendship Bread" that was like a dessert! Then the decorating began.... T-shirts were given to each member and everyone brought a little "bling" to contribute to the center of the table.
Stitch n' Chicks iron-on designs were available with the members names for attaching to the T-shirts. Everyone got to "show off" their artistic talents...every shirt turned out great!! Some of us also took theirs home to finish and will be bringing them back to show off soon!! :)
Donna got to wrap her "Rainbow Skein" as she was absent at the last get together. Don't worry Denise we still have yarn left for you too.... :)
Here are a few of the photos...check out Pat's "green" St Patrick's Day get-up... and a BIG thank you to Patricia for bringing our "goodie bags" ...she always does such a terrific job!!!!!
We even had a "Blarney Stone" all the way from Ireland!! lol.....and guess who kissed it????

And for the answer to the question, "Who kissed the Blarney stone?"
It was Donna...Ta--Da And she won a cute little prize for kissing the stone!!! Congratulations Donna for following the legend of the "Blarney Stone" when kissed bestows upon the kisser the "gift of gab-and the power of eloquence"
The Meaning of "Blarney"
It from Queen Elizabeth I who said, when the eloquent excuses of McCarthy were repeated to her, "Odds bodikins, Blarney talk!"
Thus, the term "Blarney" has come to mean "the ability to influence and coax with fair words and soft speech without giving offense."
The Blarney Stone Poem
There is a stone there, that whoever kisses,
Oh! He never misses to grow eloquent:
'Tis he may clamber to a lady's chamber,
Or become a member of Parliament. |
