We had a really fun evening - in addition to the Jam Jar Exchange, we made gift cones from Christmassy fabric, we had a delicious (and huge) buffet, and we admired the completed Seascapes from our last Playday, we also had a silver-themed raffle, and a picture quiz (with some very happy winners!)
Happy Christmas to all of our readers!
