Merry Christmas!!!!

I can't believe it's Christmas!  sorry I haven't blogged, just so much going on.  I will get caught up tomorrow. 

I want to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas.  There are 2 videos I would love to share with you.  both  on the true meaning of Christmas.  How it all started.....

And this one......

Both are beautiful, moving, faith building......

With all my heart, Merry Christmas

Grand Illusion Mystery



 

Hi everyone!  Are you doing the new Bonnie Hunter Mystery?  On Friday the first clue was given!  On Monday we got together to cut.  I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted to, too busy having fun and cutting away!  

 

 

Toni made us lunch!  soooo yummy!  turkey tortilla soup.  Toni, my dear, I need the recipe.  so very good......

 

Also toni showed us the quilt she gave her daughter for her 30th birthday.  Charlene quilted it for her.  OH. MY GOODNES!!!  it is gorgeous!  Tony made a beautiful label for the back.  and she had a little tag that said:  This took forever! 

What a fun day we had.  can't wait for next Monday!

A New Sign

Hi everyone!  I have this chalkboard sign in my living room, as you walk in.  I am not good about writing something current on it.  So, I have decided I will let the grands do it! 

Last month Lexi did it.  no picture!  poop!!!  this month it is Zoe's turn. 

They love doing this.  Yeah!!!  Andrew will do it next month.  Then Gunner.  Thank you Zoe for helping Grandma out.....

Some eye candy!

Hi everyone!  a friend just told me that every 3rd Saturday there is a free Handiquilter class at Sew From The Heart  What?  it's free!  What?  I am so there!!!

I don't know anyone's name, so I can't give credit.  But there quilts were wonderful.  I learned a lot.  I will go again next month.  Thank you Gloria, for telling me about this.......

Happy Birthday Andrew!

Andrew had a birthday last month!  My goodness, he is 11 yrs old.....

 

Happy guys

 Hudson kept trying to hug the waitress.

Zoe was there

and Gunner won the tic tac toe game on the menu!

Happy birthday Andrew, we love you kiddo!

A little late....

The other day I was running errands.  In fact it was on Veteran's Day!  this is what I saw while stopping for a stop light. 

Can you read it?  it says:

thank you VETERANS for your service.  God bless our troops.  God bless America

whoever placed that sign, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  It made me smile.

Well I didn't get a quilt top loaded.  it turned into a very busy week.  But, I did get a top done! 

it looks like it's glowing!  I love it.  the pattern is called in grannie's dream.  the squares are 2.5'.  Vicki and I are making this together.  Her's has been done.  Her other Halloween top is done too.  I am still making 16 patch Halloween blocks. 

I worked on the Arkansas Crossroads blocks that I am trading with Thornberries.  I finished 2 months worth.  so I am done there. 

wish me luck in loading a quilt!! 

hugs......

Gas Prices

Is gas going down for you where you live?  it is here!!  yeah!!!  I get my gas where I do my grocery shopping.  we also get our prescriptions there too.  So it all adds up to a discount price at the gas pump!  So 90 cents off per gallon!  it was under $2 a gallon. 

I love it!  made my day!!!!
