Advent Day 8

Today I opened something I was really needing!   It is a card display holder!!  I love it because it says FRIENDS, FAMILY, FAITH with stars in between.  This is soooo wonderful!  Of course, I'll have it filled up in no time!

What a wonderful Advent gift!!!

Advent Day 7.....

Don't you just love giving and receiving FUN holiday gifts???!!!  That's the whole point about our Advent gifts......to be fun, funny, useable, exciting, and sometimes pertaining to cross stitching.

Today's gift was something useful, practical and PAMPERING!!!  I got some Bath Crystals, a Beauty Bar soap and and a pair of Spa Socks!  Oh my....these spa socks are sooooo soft and cozy!  I am seriously thinking of just sleeping in them tonight to keep my feet warm!!!

As you can see from the red tissue paper, I had to squeeze them before opening!!  haha

Advent Day 6.....

On the 6th Day of Advent, Jorja gave to me......this wonderful little notepad that has already been put into my purse!  It is perfect with it's magnetic closure!

I'm always needing a piece of paper to make little notes to myself on.....so I don't forget when I'm out running errands.

Looking for a Winter chart to xstitch up????

If you are looking for a cool and quick wintery cross stitch chart to stitch up, then you need to check out my friend Carol's blog for her iStitch Design Sew Frost.  You can find the link here!  I have already bought it and what a GREAT DEAL for only $5.  Just scroll down on the link I provided above and you can order it.  When Carol receives payment for the chart, she will email you the chart!  HOW COOL IS THAT!!!????

I love her designs and she LOVES it when you email her your finished project!!!

So head on over there and check out her website and see what other wonderful designs she has available!!!

Happy Stitching!!!

Advent Day 5

OOOOOO I can't believe what Jorja keeps surprising me with for my Advent presents.  Today was a pair of new PINK scissors!  And you all know what a scissor fanatic I am.  I blame Carol though for getting me hooked on collecting scissors!  She would always find the best and unique scissors.  I wonder if she has a pair like these or similar???!!!

Now I want to share a pic of a wreath I just made for our Wing Wives donation.  The other wing wives knew I was crafty so  I got to do the project!  Here is my snowman themed wreath!  I loved it so much when I originally bought the supplies that I had to go back and get more of them to make a snowman wreath for my house!  The one I made is a donation though!

I know you probably can't see a couple fot he ornaments because the green just blended right in but when it's hanging up, I have to say it really does look pretty!  Now....to go make the one for my house .... now that I've got all the supplies out!

Advent Day 4 gift.....

Ohhhhh Jorja gave me "Quilt a New Christmas" quilting book for my Day 4 gift!  It has soooo many Christmas Quilting ideas in there.  I hope to get some made by next year's Christmas! 

How FUN this looks to be!  Now to get some made over the next year for next year's Christmas!

Advent Day 3

Ohhhh how I wanted to open this package last night after midnight!  It felt like fabric and I was right... when I opened it this a.m.  Jorja made me not 1, not 2, now 3 but 4 GORGEOUS CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS!!!  I have just displayed them on my couch to get the picture but you can believe I will be hanging them up to show off and help decorate my house for the season!!!  These 4 stockings wer all hand made and they are sooooo professionally quilted that I am thinking I need to take lessons from her!!

You can see them here!

Have a great weekend everyone!
