Christmas Play

This is my only Grand daughter Ally. She is such a nice young girl. Tonight she and the others shinned in the play. It was a very good play. They all performed well. The skit was great! All about how many names GOD goes by thoughout the BIBLE . It lasted about an hour and was very entertaining. They served donuts water and coffee afterwards to those who wanted to join in the eating area. We left and went to McD's for coffee and cookies. I think there may have been about 300 or more people there what a nice crowd. (at the play not MC D's).

There will be a couple other pictures of the group and then one of her older brother CJ he is a cutie too. A very nice young man.

Sewing today

Mr Moose
Well today I got to sew a little while. I have made 2 tea towels for my daughter. She is an outdoors gal and loves the moose and the woods and etc. I have one more to make for her, it will have a cabin on it. I have some other things for her as well. So tomorrow I will go and shop a bit more. Then hope to be done with it at least by Tuesday we hope. Hubby and I decided no gifts for each other this year! That is fine by me. I need to finish a tad more decorating to be complete. Oh and thanks for stopping by here today. We love company.

I was on the committee for our guild Christmas Party. We had to be there at the church by 4:30PM and it was over by 9:15PM. It went very well and all who attended had a great time. We had 38 members who attended this event. Our guild is around 60members so that is a great turnout! A lot of games and prizes were given out and then our yearly gift exchange. The lady who received mine is our new president for 2009. If you scroll down to last weeks post you will see a picture of the big rotary mat bag I made and gave away. That is what she got. I was thrilled she picked it out of the ones on the table. For some odd reason I got hers. I had no clues whose I had picked then on the card inside it said Jeri Fickes well I got a neat Gripper and great scissor fob to wear on my neck. I was one of the winners of the center pieces as well. I got one of the cutest snowmen glass bowl with candy kisses in it! The first picture is the center piece. The one below here is the Little Gripper it is awesome I think I am going to like it a lot then the nice scissor fob Fons and Porter brand.
The last picture is the I received in the ABCQuilter block swap. It is very cute and hangs in my living room. Well hope to get our tree up and decorated this week. Thanks for visiting and until next time Merry Christmas!!!

He turned 65 and we have been married now for 46 years. Next month it will be me turning 65. My, my where does ones life go so fast.? I hope to get a few more of these made and the tree up next week or by the 12 I hope. Have done some shopping for GK and have more to do.It will be a slim one this year. It will be the year to remember thats for sure. Tomorrow I may go to a little town called Berlin and pick up some DMC thread to make the other ornaments. But for now I am siging off and going to bed. later all
