 Carol P brought her avocado salsa again since it was such a hit last time!

 Joyce had inherited some vintage hankies so we looked thru those treasures..

 Auntie Mary showed a tote bag a relative made and gave her on her recent trip to
visit family in Iowa (Marys a nurse)

 she showed us a jean quilt design she started..

 and then she worked on her needle punch..

I love how she uses her gifts...
