What do you get when you have a scrumptious lunch at a fabulous restaurant with 3 delightful friends and a whole bunch of 'catchin' up to do?'...why you get a wonderful lunch at Chaps over Cheney, WA. and a whole lot of Girl gabfest going on!
Celeste Shaw is the proprietor of this lovely establishment, 'Chaps'.... a 'must' on you list of places to enjoy when in Spokane.
Old friends who meet up about once every 3-4 months are so very special.... they wait patiently, then they pick up right where they left off, never skipping a beat or a hug.
We eat, we laugh, we muse, we share our hearts & support for each other.
(left to right) Heather, Rene, Juli & Cindy are some of my wonderful Glamping gal-pals. None of us live in the same community, so we don't get to see each other very often... but that's ok, because we have a wonderful time when we do get together..... whether it's a camping trip, junktiquing or just having lunch at one of our favorite restaurants.... we make the most of our time together.
Today was a much over-due visit with Rene, Dixie & Heather.... each of these beautiful ladies has vision & talent. Dixie as a Vintage Artisan Dealer, Rene as a Writer and Heather as a Gourmet Food Artisan... as for me... I am happy to be around such talented ladies. They encourage & inspire me.
I came across a verse, that I feel is soooo true,,,, "Desire to Inspire before you Expire!"
I hope to inspire someone someday as these lovely ladies have inspired me.
My daughter and I took her toddlers...my grandgirlies... to see Santa Claus and oh wowzers! neither of the girlies broke out in tears! I suspect Santa was smart to hand them their candy canes first... lol!
But as nice as it was to see Santa,,, their favorite thing was to hug the ginormous bear.
Merry Christmas and HoHoHo.....
We have been having serious frosts/freezes going on up here..... brrrrrrr!
between the frost & winds it makes for some interesting photos....
Even my garden looks interesting......

I love this sweet little apron pattern and this one will be given as a Christmas gift.
I came across this easy~peasy fleece hat pattern and made one for each of my Grandbabies...
You can embiggen this photo to view the instructions better.
I came across a sweet little apron that I decided to use to make a pattern from so I can make these cute little aprons....
The blue one above and this one are going to special friends and the one below is for myself.
I love the cute cowgirl boots on this one. It only took 1yard of fabric and 1package of RicRack trim to make the blue apron. And of course I always have to add a couple of yoyos....
