Weekly Update

Good morning to all my fellow stitchers and crafters. We have had a great week here with the weather in the high 30s at night and 70s during the day, with the sun shining. This is our fall.
Still Job looking, but enjoying my time relaxing and stitching and card making.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Here is my WIPS for the week. Progress has been made. We have a great scrapbooking store, Archivers, near me in Katy, Texas. They have great classes and will help you with any problems or questions. I did manage to attend one of the Christmas Card Classes and enjoyed it. I try to make just enough handmade cards for family and close friends each year. There are not enough hours to do all the crafts I want. Crossstitching is my favorite as you can tell.
Also, received a Christmas Card exchange from my partner in Ireland and I sent one to France. What fun.

Your cards are outstanding! They're so much better than store-bought cards and I'm sure everyone loves receiving them from you.

Persy Pig will be a wonderful gift. The Nutcracker will be a fantastic door prize! We seem to be neck and neck on Halloween House!
