Oh boy! My Santa Sack swap package arrived yesterday! It's a wonderful grocery tote in the Christmas colors that I love WITH pinwheels! Truly, it pales in comparison to the one that I sent Melissa. She went totally out of the box and made me a tote while I made her a sack. I'm actually embarrassed! So now one of my gifts is shifting gears. I feel I need to make up for it. That's just how I am. Oh! I didn't realize it was REVERSIBLE too so that I can use it year round! I need to step it up!

| Oh! I wonder what's in here.... |

| I let Amelia do the opening... |
 |
| TA DA! Is it for me, Mama?? |

Melissa - I love it! Thank you so much! Now I have to be patient and wait for December to open the rest.
Oh. I should probably show you the sack I made for Melissa. Sigh.
I also won a couple of giveaways in the last couple of weeks. First up is from
Michelle. She split out a FQ bundle 3 ways. Only thing was, we didn't know what colors we would get. Here's my share:
Sorry for the lousy lighting. I took the pictures last night. And that cute "Laugh" plaque. I needed to hide it from Punk. She was ready to claim that too. Thank you Michelle!
And from
Wendy:
A super cool sewing basket pattern and some sewing inspired fabric! I was ready to head upstairs last night to start that sewing basket but it was after 7:00 and the pattern looks like it really needs my full attention. But I will be making it. I think it's so neat! Thank you Wendy!

With all this good cheer that came my way, I feel that I need to pay it forward so I'll be doing a giveaway soon. Before the end of summer. So stay tuned!
That is all for this Sunday. I need to get some light housework done around the house. It's tough going. I twisted my lower back last week doing the same thing and I'm still not right. Standing for any length of time can't happen. My back starts to spasm. I haven't been walking my 2 miles every morning and I'm starting to miss that exercise. I think I need to call the chiropractor. Ugh. I hate going there. Good news is that in the pool, my back is fine. So I'll be hitting that thing in a couple of hours!
Enjoy your day!

The Santa Sack Swap sounds like lots of fun, cute tote bag. Have fun swimming, we'll probably be doing that later too.
ReplyDeleteJen, I'm so glad you like it :) And you don't need to make up for anything! I love the sack you sent too :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome goodies! Such fun to get *good* mail!
ReplyDeleteYou twisted your back doing housework? And what lesson did we learn from THAT, Miss Jennifer? Hmmm...? I think I hear the pool calling your name.
Sorry to hear about your back...that sounds miserable. What a great sack you received. Your sack was nice, too, you know she will use to gift something and it will be darling.
ReplyDelete:( on your back issue. I hope it resolves on it's own.
