Brunch And A Craft....

 Bells on the restaurant where we had our brunch. This place is where three of my daughters worked during high school. Locally owned and operated.
 Ten of my old school chums came for brunch yesterday. We always have a few laughs. The lady in the red top , just came from the hospital.  Her granddaughter presented her with  a great grand child six hours earlier...My gosh , we are older than dirt !!!
 This is a simple craft...get some Christmas material or something cute.Measure around a tissue box...Sew a sleeve the length.. two and a half times,  the height of a tissue box.  Hem one end, and tack the other end. Make small slits to run a ribbon through. Insert a box of tissues. There's your Christmas tissue box, looks like a small present.
More snow headed through to the East coast. Buttercup in NYC, get your shovel out. You will need your gloves and scarves this week. Everyone take care on the roads. xo

  2. You make me laugh at "older than dirt". Someone gave me a card saying that about me when I turned 50. Ha!

    It's so nice that you all get together for brunch. Must be a lot of fun.

    Yes, more snow heading our way. I was hoping they would close work today, but I don't think I'll get that lucky. I am leaving early and taking it really slow today. I'm working 11:30 to 8:00 p.m. Not looking forward to it. Especially with the schools closed here today.

    Take care, stay warm, and have a good day!

  6. Susie, you are too sweet! Thanks for the shout-out. Luckily my shoveling days are over and my days of trudging to the subway to get to work. I'm having a lazy day at home. I made a big pot of soup and I'm doing blog visits.

  10. I love getting together with friends this time of year. It's hard to believe time goes so fast! Love the kleenex box cover. What a great idea. I think you could just wrap it like a gift and use tape and not put slits in the material...just loosely tie the ribbon, then you could use the material for something else later, and you could always wrap the kleenex box with more material later! Love it!
