Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Thank you Tulsi!

One of these days I'm going to make a greeting card that says, "God Used You!" on the front. Tulsi would definitely get one. On Saturday I got a wonderful Christmas package. I can't take a picture as our camera is really on the fritz, but I will describe it to anyone still reading this blog. It had two magazines, Interweave Felt, and a Holiday Decorating magazine; a box of Christmas Cards, 6 Christmas gift bags, a package of red tissue paper, a cute red mug with snowflakes on it, some sugar 'n' cream with their best of dish cloths book, and two neat tins with cookies in them.

WELL, this year we didn't send out Christmas cards and my husband was getting BUNCHES of them at work. So I immediately put those cards to use by giving them to my husb. for work! AND I picked up the package on Sat. On Sunday, we were headed to my mom's to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family. I was giving my brothers and sister a jar of pickels and a letter about the rest of their gift but I hadn't gotten anything to package their gifts...enter Tulsi's gift bags!

Everything was timely and thoughtful and I'm a grateful girl.

PS. I took one of the little cookie tins to hold my darning needles, stitch markers, and stitch holders! Now I have the cutest winter stitch-holder box in my knitting bag!

December swap received.

I posted on my blog and this is the same thing. My Craft Swap partner, Bev, is so generous. What a fun, fun, fun package. I'm so excited and can't wait to do all of it. I couldn't capture it in one photo. I'll list a rundown and hope I don't forget anything. She sent a bowl full of things fun. White baby booties!! :) A baby afghan in crochet pattern book, afghan hook, lovely butter yellow soft yarn, Sugar and Cream yarn to make dishcloths from a pattern also sent, handmade dish rags, Christmas bear that Mikele will claim, 2 cute ornaments. One of them is also a cookie cutter with chocolate! Scrapbook supplies and a mini scrap book. I may have missed something since there were so many things to see. I can do some things on the way to CA in the car! Bev knows that I'm expecting a grandbaby.

Thank you so much, Bev. I love it all. Now what to do ?

It arrived

A package from Kalysa arrived to day!! Thank you so much. I love the jewelry and the things to make some on my own so much. This is such a fun package. I'm going to make some crochet Christmas stockings for Brie's tree with the crochet thread!! After I look through the magazines. I may change my mind!

Thanks for my package

I am really sorry I can't, at the moment, show you the fabulous package I received from Lori Lynn. I was really excited to have as the magazine Vogue Holiday Knits as I had only the day before been to my LYS and found it out of stock! I have fall coloured napkins and rings to put them in, leaf shaped buttons, a lovely felt colvered notebook and smelly sachet. The project is a cowl to be knit in some fabulously soft bamboo. This came complete with fall coloured stitchmarker. Thanks so much for a wonderful gift. It is all perfect!
