A Surprise in the Mail

             My Christmas apron swap partner was Gail at Faithfulness Farm. She not only sent
             an apron for me, but one for my g'daughter too. Isn't that sweet? Starlet will be coming
             over before Christmas so this will give us a chance to both wear our aprons while we
             make Christmas goodies together. As you can see, Gail included a Gingerbread man
             cookie cutter, gingerbread house cupcake holders with matching little pics, and sweet
             recipe cards too. This was my first swap and I have to tell you it was fun. I enjoyed
             making up Gail's gifts as much as receiving mine.

 

This is the apron I made for Gail. Then when my MIL saw it we decided that my sis in-laws would like one too. So I made two more.
Then my MIL hinted that she would like a new apron too. So apron
number four was made. Now you understand why I wasn't posting
much last week! All I can say about it is, "No more aprons please!"

                                    I did manage to get the dining room light decorated.

                                And I experimented with decorating my wooden dough bowl.
                                 On to more decorating today and then boring you with
                                 more photos tomorrow!
                                 I have to tell you I am getting some really good ideas from
                                 many of you for quick and easy cookies/candies this year.
                                 I'll try to do a post showing what I've found soon so you
                                 can try them also. If you haven't already.
                                Hope you have a great day,
                                              Kimberly
