Chistmas Cards 2005

[Cyrano]

Received lovely Christmas cards from Kirsty (Squidge) and Nikki (Bonitatime). The troops are getting all excited about Christmas now - not that any of us needed any encouragement :goodvibes

[diberry]

Hard to feel Christmassy when it's a brilliantly bright sunny day outside as it is in Nottingham.

[disneyangel]

Di ,You'll need to come for a visit to Scotland for a visit. WE had lots and lots of snow yesterday some of which is still lying today. Enough to build a little snowman this afternoon. I'll post a photo if we manage before it's all thawed. Then we're going to see Santa tomorrow in the Clyde valley . I think i'm more excited than Jessica :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[diberry]

Oh yes please Angela - I love snow!!! :Pinkbounc

[Cyrano]

Laura, interesting that Marco felt the need for extra recruits :teeth:

[tialucy]

Today I actually made my cards for the Dis'ers on the xmas card list. I've NEVER made cards before, but I felt all Christmassy and crafty so I got stuck in. I'll post them tomorrow. Hope u like them. XXX

[diberry]

Wow Tia - you must have a lot of patience!!! Looking forward to getting mine!!

[Dee8197]

I've just finished writing my cards for the DIS'ERS and its only November. My next challenge will be to get them in the post !:rotfl:

I'm busy for the next couple of weeks, DS is in a show Wed, Thurs, Friday and Saturday X2 and he also has competitions on the 3rd, 10th & 12th Dec. I will try to get on the board during the day but if not I haven't forgotten you all. I guess so long as he enjoys all this we will keep doing it, at least it keeps him off the streets and keeps him extremely fit.

[tialucy]

Wow Tia - you must have a lot of patience!!! Looking forward to getting mine!!

Thanks Diana, well, I've got one stamp in my purse so I'll post yours today!!

[Dee8197]

Noooooo, it's not special treatment. Stop making me feel guilty, I don't want to go buy stamps now, I'm cold! :rotfl: :rotfl:

[dlpSteve]

I have the cards and I've been meaning to write them for a week - the ever increasing display of Christmas cards from DIS people is making the guilt rise so, yes, I think tonight may be the night to actually get them done!

I bought mine, I love the idea of making them but I'm far too lazy for anything like that!

[diberry]

Laura - please what does "bacioni" mean? I've found out that "auguri" means "omens" but I don't know what "bacioni" means! I'm afraid I don't know any Italian!! Thank you!!!!

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

Laura - please what does "bacioni" mean? I've found out that "auguri" means "omens" but I don't know what "bacioni" means! I'm afraid I don't know any Italian!! Thank you!!!!

Bacioni means "BIG BACI" (BACI=KISSES)

http://www.webalice.it/mdinaro/mickeys_dreamers_i000007.gif
Grumpy hates BACIONI and hates AUGURI
Grump!

[Bexx]

Grumpy hates BACIONI and hates AUGURI
Grump!

:rotfl: Marco, you're priceless!!!!

[diberry]

Bacioni means "BIG BACI" (BACI=KISSES)

http://www.webalice.it/mdinaro/mickeys_dreamers_i000007.gif
Grumpy hates BACIONI and hates AUGURI
Grump!Oh thank you Laura!!! Please send extra BIG baci to Marco!!!!! :rotfl: (And to yourself of course!!)
So would you say "auguri" means "omens" or would you translate it differently? Sorry to be a pain - just love languages!

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

"auguri" means ...

= BEST WISHES (GRUMP!)
http://www.webalice.it/mdinaro/mickeys_dreamers_i000008.gif
GRUMP (who hates best wishes)

[diberry]

= BEST WISHES (GRUMP!)
http://www.webalice.it/mdinaro/mickeys_dreamers_i000008.gif
GRUMP (who hates best wishes)Oh thank you Laura - that makes much more sense than "omens"!!!! Lots of auguri e bacioni to you and DGH too!!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/diberry/CAABG63T168x204.jpg

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

Diana, :rotfl2: Marco is wandering around house , asking :

:rolleyes: Do you think Diana and Becky are teasing me ?
:rotfl2: :rotfl2:
Laura

P.S. Yes, Italian is quite difficult,if you read augùri you say BEST WISHES... but if you read àuguri that means "omens" !!!!

Sorry, I sometimes use Italian words without "thinking" of them as "Italian" !

[Bexx]

Diana, :rotfl2: Marco is wandering around house , asking :

:rolleyes: Do you think Diana and Becky are teasing me ?
