The postman always rings...
Here are the surprises from AnneMarie. What a wonderful stitcher and a perfect finisher she is!
The Prairie Schooler is my favorite cross stitch designer, so AM did a black bird autumnal design for me. The book is a pretty DMC one featuring fruits. The two kinds of fabric will be well utilized. Thanks so much AM! I'll send you off one of my special collage cards soon.
Today a package came from Angela. She had designed 3 gorgeous scrapbook pages for me! One for my birthday, one for Cosmo the cat and one with a Victorian flair. I'll add some photos and share with you.
I am making some goodies in the form of gifts. The glue isn't cooperating, but I plan to make 6 on these 'items' to start off with. I don't want to say what they are, but I'll show you in a couple of weeks. I put on James Taylor's Cmas cd and went to town. That's the best medicine. : )
I ran across this at Rocks in my Dryer. Shannon wanted to know some cool Christmas ideas. I would say the Christmas Memory Book I did about 11-12 years ago was pretty neat. I went through my mom's photos and added many of my own to the collection. I made nice scrapbook like pages on 8.5" x 11" paper. I went from when my siblings and I were little to when our kids were little. I asked each family member what their best memory of Christmas was. I got some interesting answers! Everyone had their own page which I typed up and used different fonts for everyone. I got enough copied for all my brothers and our mom and put them in red plastic report folders that I decorated with sparkly snowflake stickers. I still look at mine!

I can't believe I'm not the only one prolonging your Bday! It's good to see all your new Bday surprises. Love the Prairie Schooler, as YOU KNOW ;-).
If I can get busy and get yours finished, you will have a Bday/Christmas package. I've spent so MANY hours trying to beat Beta Blogger in a battle of the wills, I can anything else done! If it lets me publish this on your blog, I've won yet another battle, and I just may win the war!

Clever tip. I had to visit and see who else spelled their name like me (phonetically correct!) And I live in PA too - imagine that.
