of Christmas...my true loves gave to me....
Back a couple of months, sweet Elizabeth, posted if anyone was interested in participating in a 12 days of Christmas swap. Time has flown by and we are now in day 2 of our 13 days of Christmas! 13 because we were blessed with an extra participant..and who can say no to one more sweet giftie!!! Besides...13 makes us UNIQUE!
Here are all the gifties under the tree, waiting patiently to RIP into them!!!
The pressure was on....I WAS DAY 1!!! So I wrapped my gifties (because I couldn't stop at one...lol)
a glass snowman globe...
and...
a snowflake fabric cuff! (they also fit around a starbucks cup...lol)
day 2 (which I got to open on the same day as 1 because I was watching Lavender and Logan when the whistle blew signaling the opening to commence!)
Day 2 was lovingly created by Mary Zimany! I actually got to meet Mary IN PERSON for REAL in October at Art-is-You!!!
She created this LOVELY ornament...so many details...(my photo does not do this justice!!! It's a little tin embellished with inks, images and so much sweetness...filled with sparkly goodness it IS peace on earth!!!
here is the ornament on the tree!!! (all the ornaments on this tree are handcrafted...over the years!
I made this Christmas greeting for Maddy and Maxx
...and here are Logan and Lavender...on a Christmas card I created for them! They are getting so big!
and here are Kaleigh's boyfriends three little ones
this is Lydia...
...and this is Mason
...and of course Xander, Maxx and Maddy!
Hoping everyone is taking time from the rush and stress of the season...to enjoy the moments!
HUGZ til next time!

Barbara it's been awhile since I posted to your blog. I have had some problems posting to lots of blogs but hopefully that is fixed now.
The kids are going up fast. WOW!
Love the 12 Days Of Christmas oraments swap you are in. I know you are having fun sending and opening all the packages. Your tree is beautiful.

That should have read the kids are growing up fast NOT going up. :-) That will teach me to proof read before hitting the button.
