The men enjoyed sitting at the
table eating and drinking. |
There were lots of funny
stories going around. |
 |
 |
|
With lots of food and drink
there was fun had by everyone. Steve loves beer. |
With a video playing on stringer
how to's and lots of good conversation everyone was smiling. |
 |
|
|
Holly is not believing Melanie's
statement that it was "That Big:. |
So she tries her story on Barb
as Tamara listens too. |
 |
 |
|
And so the fun began with
the famous Christmas gift exchange. Kerry's hoping she gets to
keep the calendar. |
Holly thinks, hmm, this could be
glass rods. |
 |
 |
|
Melanie is very pleased
with her gift. But will she get to keep it? |
Cathy likes all the things in the
little box Kerry put together. Ahh, but will she get to keep
it? |
 |
 |
|
Don is protecting Cathy's
present, but I don't think that helped. |
Oooh, Steve likes his gift! |
 |
 |
|
Someone stole the calendar
from me, and so then Steve stole it back for me Here's Holly
and Steve with their presents. |
Barb likes the bird that
Melanie brought but I don't think she will go home with it. |
 |
 |
|
Yes, now Lynne has the bird. |
Heidi likes all the smelly
stuff she got. |
 |
 |
|
Cathy seems quite pleased
with the little house. She lost the little box to Barb, I believe. |
Close up of Holly's earring
that she made. They are little birds. |
 |
 |
|
We did get into the shop.
Here is Joanne showing us how she makes a little blown chili
pepper. |
With some tubing she pulls
out a hollow stringer in clear, sealing off the one end but having
the thin end open for blowing. |
 |
 |
|
Here she coats the thick
end with color. It will be a red chili pepper. |
Now she is heating it up
so she can blow it into shape. |
 |
|
|
Once she has blown it to
the size she wants, she then punties up and shapes her chili. |
She adds some green for the
top of the pepper. Before removing the punty she heats it up
and adds some shape and a twist to the pepper. |
