HI Girls

ARE YOU READY???? I sure am!

Since we all have our packages, no sense waiting any longer. SO if you see this post today (Sunday) Go ahead an rip open those packages!

As always, be gracious and thankful. Remember your Santa put a lot of time and energy into your special gift and I'm sure anxious to hear from you. As you open your package, say a special little prayer for your Santa---that her heart too will be filled with the joy of the season of Christmas.

All I can say is THANK YOU CINDYG. You got it just right. The bag looks just like me with all that bling and the smaller bag is great too. However I may be going to save the larger bag for a spring purse. LOl It is wonderful. I also love all the sewing gadgets and the amazing candy jar with candy. I think you girls know me too well. A mystery book I will enjoy reading. O yes I almost forgot the fuzzy socks and a fuzzy duster . Cindy you really spoiled me this year.
And I really love the bling you sent maybe to go with horses I got before or the new table runner kit from Shabby fabrics .
I must have been a very good girl. Thank you Cindy Thank you

Inside the neatest project tote filled with patterns, a wall hanging kit, binding clips, notepad, tape measure, and cutest "hummingbird" threader. OMG! Hope I didn't forget to mention something. I am so blessed! Thank you so very much!!!

One in moose fabric which I dearly love and the other in Texas blubonnet fabrics. And I was needing a tote yesterday to gather up some stuff! Kathy, you are so sweet and so generous!

I surprised I was to get a SS gift in the mail. Chriss took the time to put together a little something for me (only it really was a big something!) I did not sign up this year so imagine my surprise. Included in the box was a A Jelly Roll pattern book, a piece of fabric with a cream background and red print, a fall themed jelly roll by moda, a fall themed panel with matching items to be made into a wonderful quilt, a piece to tone on tone blue fabric, a blue floral print, a hand made combination thread catcher and pin cushion, a spool of essential thread (have never tried this brand but been thinking about it, a butterfly notepad, a magnetic pin holder with some pins and needles, a an American Jane tote bag which I am sure she bought at the show we went to. I will be hiding that from my granddaughter who is coming for winter break.

CHRISS I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR INCLUDING ME! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

My SS this year was Deb (dsf618). Deb thank you sew much for all my wonderful gifts. You are the best ever.

Deb made me a quilty Christmas stocking. She stuffed it full with two bags of horehound candy, a pack of quilter's flat flower pins, a jar of curved safety pins, a pack of John James hand quilting needles, two beautiful tree ornaments (an angel and a bell), a set of penguin salt and pepper shakers (they are adorable), a one year subscription to Quiltmaker Magazine (wow), a carry-along reference guide for Hand Embroidery (another awesome and very useful tool), and a "Christmas tree" made from folded up Christmas fabrics (I don't want to take it apart until I take a picture of the tree).

Again, thank you so much Deb. I love them all.
