Sharing our time together through pictures...

Here's where it begins-the "meeting"! The SF women receive their notebooks to put all their new found knowledge and community ideas together in one place. What are we talking about next month? Organization! Come with an organizational tool you like to use and share it with the group!

Look at all the yummy cookies made for our cookie exchange! Please post your recipes in the comments! Not everyone received copies!

The SF women gathering for encouragement in conversation, learning some holiday recipes to share with others and building friendships.

Bonnie and Camille prepare the fudge into the containers. Diane brought the recipe to share and it is located in the last blog. Enjoy!

Here's a beautiful family tradition in Kristy's family: The ring she is wearing is a family heirloom passed down from her great grandmother to each first daughter on their 16th birthday. It a beautiful antique ring with a beautiful story. May that ring be blessed with stories of a legacy for the Lord that gets passed along with it as it makes it to the next little girl in the upcoming years!

Merry Christmas from the SF women!

The First Post For Savoir Faire!

What a wonderful time of fellowship we had last night! Thank you Diane T. for the awesome fudge recipe and yummy samples! I don't know about the rest of you, but I had Joy's cracker jax this morning for breakfast-it's good for the baby! The Dollhouse ladies are awesome and we are thankful for your time in sharing your home and oven! The spread of cookies made by everyone for the cookie exchange was beautifully presented in the dining room and they were very tasty! Right ladies? If you didn't get to share your recipe, then please leave it as a comment so everyone can get it! We decided that next month's gathering will be at the Dollhouse on Friday, January 23rd at 7:00pm. Please check back on this blog often as there will be new pictures soon, a way to RSVP for next month and more extras! If you click on the link on the right to follow this blog, it will be easy to get back to often so you can check in for all the new posts/info easily. Next month the topic is "ORGANIZATION". Please bring some type of organizational tool you use along with your binder newly girlified and decorated with your name on it. We'll all be sharing what we brought with each other. Several of you shared an interest in wanting to pass organization links that you go to. Please email me with the links and I will set up 1-click links on our blog so all you'll have to do is remember to come here for the site then you can look over them on your own time!
