No Peeking

Ok Folks....We've hit the official Chistmas Season, so there's no peeking at your gifts.

I wanted to share a few things I've been up to recntly, but that would give 

all my gifts away, so here's just a few things I can share.

I've been making Christmas Cards, but they still need to be assembled. 

My 13 year old pointed out a spelling error to me AFTER 

I brought them home from the printers. Aggghhhhh!

Look for our card in your mail box early next week.  

I put in a zipper on a a really cool gift.

These are pillowcases made with French seams.  My favorite is the typewritter fabric.

Found some fun Chanukah pasta for a friend. 

We've been invited to our first Chanukah party this year. 

Finally found a good use for the chalk borad heart garland I bought to use at Claire's wedding reception, but didn't use at the reception. 

I made up this little decorative font and decided to use it more this Christmas.

More chalk board fun. I put this one up in the kitchen. 

This banner stretches across the entire front of the kitchen.

Just had to make a banner for our church Christmas Party. 

I was under the gun on this one. 

I had one hour to get it done while I helped one of my daughters make 

brownies, for the first time, from scratch for the party. 

As I was hanging this sign I accidentally mis-spelled Chrismtas. 

Good thing it was an easy correction.

Christmas isn't just about getting things done though. 

We went to a Messiah Sing-In last night. 

Our family has been attending for about 8 years now. 

I am convinced that it's one of the best ways to celebrate 

the real meaning of Christmas. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS
