Christmas Club Challenge 1 Theme is Christmas Food

Hello Folks,  Well this is our first challenge of 2016 over at the Christmas Card Club, and the theme for Challenge 1 is Festive Food and was chosen by  Margaret.   I did think about opting out of this one as I had no food stamps at all, but that was like giving in at the first hurdle, so I found this image on the net and went with that.  The weather here today has been awful and so dark the picture is not as good as the card looks in reality. ( sorry ).
My heart goes those poor people without their homes due to the floods in most of the country.  It really breaks my heart to see the heartbreak of everyone in this position.  Hopefully they get all the help they need to start again.
Hope you all managed a Nice Christmas and New Year and that we all fare better in 2016.   Hugs to You All.  Rita xxxxxx.
