12 Days of Christmas...


My secret sister on the hgtv message board signed me up for a 12 Days of Christmas swap this year. I have been having a blast opening up a little gift every morning! :-) We aren't supposed to show photo's on the message board until all 12 days are finished, but I don't think anyone from the message board follows my blog except Bingo~Bonnie and I know she won't tell. (LOL, Hi Bonnie!) ;-) If there are any hgtv lurkers out there~ now would be a good time to say 'hi'. ;-) LOL

So here are my first 9 days of gifts~ a scissors holster, a little reindeer necklace, a couple of porcelain pieces with that gripper stuff (I think I am supposed to make pincushions~?), a starfish ornament and a yo-yo ornament, a basket, a small notebook and a pin, a crocheted thread pouch with a little extra rick-rack, and a lacey fridge magnet~ which I think I can use as a needle holder too~~it is too pretty for my refigerator. :-) Three more little gifts to go~~ :-)


Now I am off to sew!

Hope you find time for a few stitches today too!

Until next time~


Happy Stitchin'!

You are a strong and disciplined person to play by the rules and open one a day. I'm weak :) I would probably play nice for a day or two and then rip into the others by day three. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Crazy, your secret is safe with me! I can't tell what I don't read... sorry I've been away form the HGTV's blogs for so long.. akk!

But your not the only one who's posted photos in a swap where one of the rules was NO photos..

uhhamm, Round Robin 2006 *cough*cough* LOL but you didn't hear me admit that! LOL

I would have done the same thing as you, only...

#1) I would have started on the day of Christmas (that's the real 1st day of Cristmas) and

#2 I would have posted a pic each day of each item as I opened them..

Sounds like you got lots of goodies and everyone on the board had a lot of fun with this swap..

Love from Texas! ~bonnie

I'm late...but now I know! lol By the time the swap was over I had the gifts in use and didn't feel like gathering them up to take a photo.

There is so many blogs out here. I wonder how many we can add to our favorites before they stop us? Well, anyhow...your on my list.

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
