I do agree that my finishes for others are usually better than my own. But maybe that is in part because I usually do a "known" technique for others but try crazy things when I'm doing it for myself.geeky Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311984338621692746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740614756036914018.post-66871450488335913692013-12-28T17:28:55.529-08:002013-12-28T17:28:55.529-08:00Hi Anne, now let me be sure about this.

Really amazing how that travels through the Canadian and US postal systems and arrives in good shape :)<br /><br />Your giveaway prize turned out great!! Really cute...and I love all the starts that you're making. I think I need to expand my list of crafts I do when I retire :)<br /><br />So glad your tree is up--ours is almost finished.

I used to do that as well but stopped after a while when I heard about two envelopes that didn't arrive.<br />The fall pillow you made turned out great. And I also love the bird pinkeep.<br />These snowflakes will look great on your treee when you starch them.

Thanks for sharing the designer.<br /><br />I love Christmas yet between the memories and nostalgia, we can't help but become emotional.
