More From Christmas

Here are some awesome gift wrapping ideas.

I would love to say I did these, but I did not...

my daughter, Jennifer was the creator.

First is Lego Man & Mrs Snowperson.
Each is made up of 4 individual 
presents.  Samson (the cat) is the
guardian of the gifts. 

Next is the reindeer and angel gifts.  Each of these is made from 2 gifts.

And here they are all together.

They were the hit of Christmas morning.

And here are some of the gifts I received this year.

This is the beautiful jewelry box my dear

husband had made for me.  Love it !!!

Also gave me the money to get a canary,

once the weather warms up.

These wonderful goodies were from my

dear sister-in-law, who always spoils me :)

And all the rest of these great gifts were from 

Secret Santas from the different quilting

and card making and snail mail groups I belong to.

 

 

Do you think I was feeling pretty

special and spoiled this Christmas???

You bet !!!!!

The groups I belong to have the most

wonderful, caring, sharing bunch of

women there is :)

Well that's all for today. 

Back tomorrow with more

catching up :)

Hershel - The Elf On The Shelf



We went out and bought our Christmas tree,

set it up in it's stand and let it stand over night,

you know, to let the branches fall. 

And what did we find in our tree the next morning....

you guessed it, "Hershel" !!!!!

So we became the hosts for this little mischievous character

through the Christmas season...

Now for the most part Hershel was a pretty well behaved guest.

Sometimes we would find him just hanging around...

Or just sitting and watching the goings on of the house...

But, one day, oh my, one day,

I hesitate to think about it,

just brings chills to my bones, ahhhhh

 he committed the ultimate crime...

You guessed it...Hershel touched my sewing machine....

Oh My Gosh, I just about had the Big One !!!!

Ahhhhhh, Grrrrrrrr, Bad, bad, bad move.

So I promptly put Dear Hershel into a lengthy Time Out!!!

'Cause nobody touches MY sewing machine.

Hershel now knows not to touch THE Machine.

So if he can remember that,

he is welcome to come back again to spend 

Christmas with us :)

The grand kids had a ball with our Christmas visitor.

And truth be known...so did Grandma :)

 Love & Hugs & Blessings,

Terry
