I was totally spoiled by Karen this year, and this last package was no exception!! In addition to the wonderful package she also included a lovely 123 Stitch Gift card!!! Here's a snap of everything that tumbled out of the stuffed mailer......

.... included with the lovely stitched ornament were some great finishing fabrics, two needle minders, a cute holiday pad of paper, some gorgeous scissors and a hot pad baking set!! I immediately got the ornament on the tree......

Karen didn't know, but, this is one of my top 10 favorite Christmas Carols, so it makes it that much more special - Thank you so much Karen for a lovely year of super exchanging fun!!!!! Have a Merry Christmas and Wonderful New Year!!!!!!

Edgar - My likes - BBD, SB, CCH, LHN - and similar designers. I also like Samplers, Quaker, Shaker, Americana, the Four Seasons, Sheep and Primitive things. Colours I Like are usually Muted and Earthy - I usually do not care for the neon of overly bright glow in the dark colours.
