<\/a><\/p>\nI loved our tree. David wrapped every single present you see except for his own presents, which I wrapped, but not nearly as neatly.<\/p>\n
This angel has stood atop our tree for many Christmases.<\/p>\n I actually did not remember I had this Santa holding Labrador dogs, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found him among other Christmas decorations.<\/p>\n The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.<\/p>\n A sailboat that we got in the Virgin Islands a few years ago nestles in the tree.<\/p>\n We always had Spritz cookies at Christmas when I was a girl. I got a new press from a Pampered Chef party a couple of years ago and I tried it this year or rather, David pressed the cookies out. He has more patience than I do.\u00a0 My daughter mentioned remembering them when I use to make them years ago.\u00a0 Don’t know why I stopped making them.\u00a0 I think my old cookie press was not very efficient and I lost all patience with it.<\/p>\n Here is the quilt I gave our granddaughter.<\/p>\n Thirty blocks of Little Garden Girls. Each one different.\u00a0 Each one holding a bouquet of flowers I embroidered or sewed on.\u00a0 Almost every one has old lace or eyelet sticking out from under her dress.<\/p>\n Here are just a few of them.<\/p>\n This is the label I sewed on the back.\u00a0 I already had another label on it telling when I started it and when I finished it. It took me two years to complete this quilt.\u00a0 A labor of love, I tell you.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
