~Christmas Memories~

Kelly at Charming Chatter is having a wonderful Christmas Memories Giveaway and she invites us to look over her shop and make a list. :-) Did you notice the Stella Blue kit she is going to give to some lucky quilter? I love it!

It would make the most wonderful companion quilt to the MyBlue Heaven blocks I am swapping with Bonnie. Oh, I am so keeping my fingers crossed!! +++

She has some lovely patterns, fabrics, kits and things in her shop. It is so hard to make a list! I've never played with turnovers, honeybuns or any of those kinds of fabric bundles, so I'd wish for one of those and a pattern too. I love the Astor Manor line.

As for Christmas memories~ well, kids say the cutest things... When our oldest DS was maybe 4 years old, my DH got a new camcorder. It was a big monstrous thing and he put it on a tri-pod and recorded DS opening his gifts. DS loved, I mean totally loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Remember those? I found a package of 'turtle underwear' which I wrapped up to go with his turtle pj's, turtle shirt etc. He opens them and exclaims loudly 'underwear! Momma I needed new underwear!' ~totally oblivious to the turtles on them. And he told everyone that Santa knew he needed underwear. LOL Yup we have it on tape and the kids have giggled over that every year since! :-))

Wishing you many wonderful Christmas memories this year!

And who can't use a little turtle in their underwear? LOL

Yes, I REALLY do remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Like yours, our son had SO much turtle "stuff". Infact we still have an ornament made by him to look like the head of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle that he made "back then".

Merry Christmas. Be happy.
