Friday's Spotlight...

For today's spotlight...I thought I'd share our pictures from our Southwest Demonstrator Meeting. It was this past Tuesday night at Karen Reids home. She had her place all decorated so beautifully and had set the tables with her Christmas China. It was wonderful to be with friends and fellow demonstrators, and we added two new one's to our group! Mary Fish and Katie Labadie both moved here to Tucson...so we were glad they could come. We also do a gift exchange and I included pictures of the swapped gifts - some really GREAT GIFT IDEAS for you!!!
