Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange-It's My Day


Our last blog hop and there are no cookies for me to share.
I am still trying to hang onto some of the weight loss I worked so hard on, but I did find something that I think you will get a kick out of. I heard this on the radio the other day and I couldn't stop laughing...

(throwback from our 2014 blog hop)

So grab your favorite cuppa, sit back and enjoy!
(OK...maybe I might be drinking and dreaming of this recipe HERE)
tee hee


It sure is and I know that I will likely be indulging in more than I should, soon.
LOL!! 
I've been busy with a couple of Christmas projects to share today.

First one...Merry and Bright

 My embroidery machine has been working overtime, lately. I absolutely went crazy when I saw this on Design's by JuJu. It's applique in the hoop and was so much fun to put together. All the little elements are just so darn cute. It's hard to see, but I used metallic thread in most of the blocks, so it really sparkles.

My second project is this years, "Red Boot Quilt Company"  Christmas Sew-Along.
Toni, never disappoints with her fun designs.


This 46" X 52" quilt packs the cutest gift tags ever. 







I was getting nervous about finishing this up, in time for the hop. My newest grandie's name was a secret until she was born, just two weeks ago now.







Each tag is 5 1/2" wide and 11 1/2" long. How fun would they be on a large Christmas package.
I may just have to make another set of these, soon.
You might want to check out the the Red Boot Quilt Company HERE and grab the patterns, while they are free! 
Now hop on over and see what's cookin' in my fellow bloggers kitchens this holiday season...
Don't forget to leave them a sweet comment telling them just how much you have enjoyed seeing their projects this year.

I do have one last thing to share...



We had a craft day last week during Thanksgiving break. These guys made reindeer out of empty Dunkin Donut coffee containers. It was so much fun. We painted them with chalk paint and hit up the Dollar Tree for hats and antlers, then scrounged through Nana's craft supplies to finish them off. They look more like Bert from Sesame Street in a reindeer costume to me, but these two just love them. No fingers were burned by hot glue guns in the process, so it was a win all the way around!

 

That's it for me. I know it's our last hop together, but I am not saying goodbye to anyone. I will still be here blogging away and I just might jump in on a hop occasionally, or even host one. You just never know, so keep in touch!

To Carol and Carla (who retired awhile back)...thank you girls for inviting me in to share the hosting fun with you. I will miss  you both, but friends are friends and we will see what the next chapter in our lives bring. Hugs!

Have a very blessed holiday season!
