My holiday newsletter!

Hello Friends!

Cut to last December 22nd, 8:00 am, I decide that I do not want to stick around Maryland/New Jersey for Christmas so mom and I decide to go visit her good friends Pat and Rick in Florida. Mom and I drove down on the 24th. With only two days notice, Pat created a wonderful Christmas. Her home is beautiful, her cooking better than any restaurant, and lots of very thoughtful presents. It was a great trip! We have even decided to go back down this year!

Then in March, I found out about a scrapbooking retreat in Phoenix, Arizona sponsored by my most favorite designer Heidi Swapp! It was expensive so I worked all summer to pay for it. I went from September 6-12th. I made a lot of great new friends including Mel who by the way won free tuition for next year’s event for her and a friend. Guess who the lucky friend is???

Then for Thanksgiving, Mom and I went to New York City. I have not been there in years and it was fabulous!! We saw three shows, hit two holiday craft fairs/boutiques – one in Bryant Park (you know Project Runway?), went to Tavern on the Green for dinner. We only shopped a little – yeah we were surprised too!

2007 holds more travel, and working to pay for it, and sending lots of love and laughter to all of you – my dear friends! Email me mgerrity_01@yahoo.com,
