HO HO HO!!!! DID I HEAR "WINNERS"?

It's a beautiful sunny day here in Utah. The hum of lawn mowers running in the neighborhood picking up the last of the fallen leaves. Kids are riding their bikes and skateboarding, everyone seems to be enjoying one of the last days of beautiful fall weather. Some people find it strange that I love to mow the lawn. Many a time during the winter, I will wake up on a Saturday morning wishing I could "mow" the lawn! My husband thinks that's crazy.......whatever, but I really will miss doing that chore once the snow starts to fly.

Here are a few photos of the new Prairie Schooler, Christmas Eve I have been working on. I really enjoy PS designs, especially the Christmas ones. I have been working on a private exchange for Sharlotte that is nearing completion, I think it is turning out nice. I will share photos of it after she has received it, don't want to spoil the surprise.




I have enjoyed each and every heartfelt post you have shared with me about your favorite gift you have either given or received for the Grand Finale Giveaway. So many wonderful memories, some happy, some sad, but nethertheless memorable. I would say the best gift I received and maybe the best gift given came when I was born. It was Decemer 23, 1969. I was given two wonderful loving parents who loved me and I was one of the best gifts given to my brother and sister. I came home from the hospital on Christmas day in a big wicker basket and I was wrapped in a snow white blanket with a big red bow. My brother thought that I was the neatest thing and he carried me around all the time. (Mother told me that story many times while she was alive.) Memories, what would we do without them?



Thanks for visiting my blog and as always I love to read your comments. I have to say there are so many wonderful and friendly bloggers that share my love of needle and thread and the various forms of art we can create with them. I have had so much fun with my blog this past October and I hope in some small way I have helped make this month fun for you also.
