….PERHAPS .... ANOTHER GLASS OF WINE!

Now, where was I …OH!
I was making my list and checking it twice.
Well, now I've forgotten what I was going to write on my list.
  Must be the wine?

Actually, Dear Daughter and I have been
spending a few afternoons ‘crafting’.
Here’s a peek at one of our projects.



We’re making these adorable felt Christmas Cookies!
They look good enough to eat.

 

Don't they look SCRUMPTIOUS?

 

Best of all they are ZERO calories!

 

And, donuts! I can smell them now!
*****
I’m not quite sure why we are doing this;
other than we are having fun
and we will be adorned with admiration
on Christmas Day as everyone exclaims
‘Oh, what cute little package decoration’! 

You know that holiday syndrome
…you want everything perfect
and you want to DO IT ALL! 
Why do we do this to ourselves? 
I’m still trying to figure that one out!
All I know now, is that Dear Daughter and
I are having loads of fun!
...and, that means the world to me!

  3. I love the ornaments!!! What a cute idea! I really need to learn to sew. And then I'll come here and copy your great crafts!

    I know what you mean about a perfect Christmas. Once I get the idea for something, if it doesn't work out, Christmas isn't right.

    Have a glass of wine!
