Gift Bags - October 2010

What: Christmas box and Sweet Box

When: 23rd October 2010
Where: Carol's house, Kleinbosch
Cost: R60 for supplies and pizzas
Patrons Present: Nadine, Vicky, Ana-Rita, Lucy, Janine, Carol, Vannessa and Mitchell, Fiona popped in.
Organised by: Carol

Armed with instructions and a glass of wine, the ladies were shown how to make Christmas and Sweet boxes by cutting, scoring and decorating cardstock. These gift boxes can be used for any occasion. With a small gift and some chocolates, the Christmas box can be used instead of Christmas crackers and the sweet box can be used for Halloween.

While we were being creative, Fiona popped in for a drink and was ropped in to help. (Thanks for the help and Strawberry Daiquiries). No dieting was allowed as we had some yummy pizzas from Debonairs. Despite the wine and the chaos, the ladies gift boxes turned out very well even though some tried to do a "Janine". Guess who is getting one for her 40th.

KKC is a ladies time out but this one we invited the men along as some of them are the main Chefs in their family. We started off with a glass of wine and an explanation by Jan of what we would be cooking, and splitting us up into Teams. We ended off with some more wine and eating a full meal, plenty to go round and very delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and would recommend this as an awesome event. Thanks Jan & Anushka!
