IS IT OVER ?????

I don't know about you..but I've been in a Christmas Whirl Wind...and I loved every minute of it.
I twirled.... and whirled... laughed..cried..smiled...heart felt thank you's...Secret Santa stuff- co-workers partt's... family party...served....shopped...wrapped...baked...over indulged with goodies...hugged...kissed..and pinched my self when it was all over!

But my biggest project with my New Bernina was making 22 embroideried pillow cases for my grandchildren..( & 5 -duds  )( that would be mistakes beyond repair.. learning process) Here are just a few..

Now I'm looking in my sewing drawers to find some forgotten projects...

and my mind is running wild with possibilites with my bags... ya hoo

I'll set back and have a cold coke and just like Santa..put my feet up and then start all over again!

Happy Holidays to All & A Happy New Year

It's a wonderful time of the year!

It's such a great time of the year....I'm sooo thankful that I have made some great memories with my children & grandchildren!
 
                            I HOPE THEY WILL REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS!

It's Cookie time at Grandma's.... this year..I decided if the kids wanted cookies.. they needed to come and frost them!
                                              " WHAT A GREAT IDEA IT WAS!"
 
                                                      DO YOU BELEIVE.... I DO!

                                           Caught my grandson's playing games....hmmm

 

FUN..CRAZY...MESSY...LOUD...

BUT WELL WORTH IT!

I COUNT MY BLESSINGS... ONE BY ONE!

With all the crazy hussle and bussle..of Christmas...

lets not forget the reason for the Season.

 

REMEMBER TO "BELIEVE"

 

 

                                     It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

                                                                (E. H. Sears)

                                                It came upon the midnight clear,
                                                That glorious song of old,
                                                From angels bending near the earth
                                               To touch their harps of gold:
                                               "Peace on the earth, good will to men,
                                                From heaven's all-gracious King."
                                                The world in solemn stillness lay
                                                To hear the angels sing.

It's that TIME OF THE YEAR!

IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN... A TIME ..
.(TO SET ASIDE ALL THAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR TROUBLED GOVERMENT ..)  

 

For me it is a time to present the "POLAR EXPRESS" 
I was inspired to write my story and combine it with "BELIEVING"
and with the help of many talented friends and family.. I've been able to enjoy this opportunity as well as touch many hearts since 2008!
I hope as you prepare for this Christmas Season that you will have that special feeling in your heart... and never stop BELIEVING!

                                   When it seems the magic slipped away...
                                   We find it all again on Christmas Day.

                                    Believe in what your heart is saying,
                                    Hear the melody that's playing.
                                    There's no time to waste,
                                    There so much to celebrate.
                                     Believe in what you feel inside,
                                     Give your dreams the wings to fly.
                           You have everything you need, if you just believe.
