The BIG Reveal!!

This is ME with my beautiful mom!! Do I look STUNNED with excitement or what??

I was ALL of 4 weeks old in this photo.  See the 'loot' behind me? The ROCKING horse mom is trying to balance me on... maybe my OWN Christmas tree in white??

I was the First grandchild on BOTH sides.. AND the first girl baby for my granny to play with. Can we spell SPOILED???? Like.. VERY spoiled??  I have a blissful 3.5 yrs until brother 1 came along...

I'm NOT sure he is enjoying HIS first Christmas as much as I did... just saying.....

====================

So who WAS the cutie pie on my blog ???  

Well Sherri Falls of 'This & That'!! MY NEW BFF!!!!!  She is so adorable.. even more so in person. I was lucky to spend a little time in Houston with her and her husband Paul. Sherri we need to spend a whole dinner chatting next time!!

And only a precious FEW of you picked her, was that dark haired baby throwing you off?

Kersten  is the winner of a fabric and some Aurifil threads from ME!

Sew a bit of Magic

You have PLENTY of time to Sew a Bit of Magic.. and I have a few magical items in the store to help you out!

I think these are the DARN CUTEST snowmen ever! My friend Jan Kornfeind designed these and I just HAD to get some for you! I think a snowman place mat will be a PERFECT item for the Secret Santa Elf gift exchange!! Wouldn't you love to put these on your table all year long?

Click HERE to join the Secret Santa Elf exchange (it's SO FUN!)

I'm working on this "Christmas in my Heart' stitchery and I think it will be PERFECT as a holiday gift to someone who loves the holidays as much as you do!! It would be cool as the front of a tote or as a pillow too. Doing the Secret Santa Elf exchange? Pull a few of the times out and do a smaller version with the saying as a tiny pillow!
