Many , many years ago when my children had finished University and were living with partners,they would all return home for family Xmas. One year my youngest daughter called to finalize plans for coming home for Xmas. I sweetly told her we wouldn’t be here, oh where will you be Mom, at your house I said.Have never had a family Xmas since . One year I announced I was going away to South Carolina for Xmas and they were all on their own. My friend was single , had a gorgeous home and we spent Xmas Day, drinking cocktails and eating chocolates and watching movies. Best Xmas. Did a lot of sorting the other day , cleared a cupboard , because I had impulsively bought a new fmq machine and needed to make space, then found I didn’t have enough room for the machine, cancelled the machine but was left with a mound of fabric, storage boxes , baskets etc piled high in the middle of the floor, took me 5 hours non stop to get everything sorted and put away A nightmare. Sometimes I thinkI am quite mad.Turning 89 will do it.
Thank you for the mention although I don’t think I even have access to that tutorial any more… it died along with my old laptop. I do have a stash of the crackers somewhere although goodness knows where. It’s the season for stuffing things away in cupboards… I can do my sorting out in January!
Your "argos" catalogue sounds a lot like our Eatons and Sears catalogues, also long gone in Canada. I had a giggle with your description of the boxes on the conveyor belt. I really enjoy yur posts.

I think that’s absolutely marvellous, Marilyn - you are an inspiration!

Funnily enough, I found the PDF today! I can send it over, if you like 😁
Ooo yes please. Not sure what I will do with it… not make crackers that’s for sure!
I’ll pop it over on Monday when I switch the big PC back on.
Thank you. No rush!
