A Little Handmade Holiday












Finishing up a little of this and that such as making tags to go on the cocoa mix jars, baking cookies to go with the goodie boxes that will be mailed off to family.  We are also including some of the delicious goodness from our neighbor's business.

Abby and Isaac decorated our living area with a long paper chain.

And yes!  we are ice skating today - there were shouts of joy this morning.

What last minute projects are you working on?
Warm wishes,
Tonya

    I finished packaging up the goodies last night for our teacher gifts (and plunked them in the freezer to stay fresh until Wednesday when we will be delivering them).

    Oh what a lovely tree. Your neighbor's treats look delicious.

    I am finishing up a 2 quilts, but one only needs binding. I also have two doll sweaters to finish knitting. Oh and an angel wooden peg gnome. But I know I can do it ;)

    Oh dear, at the moment EVERYTHING is feeling like a last minute project! But actually, just as you have said, it's just a whole lot of finishing up.

    Such goodness you've been cooking up, AND you get to skate already!

    Unfortunately, due to my daughter's operation last month, handmade Christmas had to be postponed for next year :( But I do enjoy visiting everyone that is participating.
