Cathi the site for Christmas Card Crafts is fantastic! I saw the baskets and remembered my great grandmother and I used to sit and make them during the year. What a wonderful thing for me to find the pattern now so I can get others making them.

Sitting here reading this thread gives me a feeling of contentment because we all are reaching out touching our sisters through cards and the wonderful messages contained within. Blessings to all of you.

Oh and does my front door ever look beautiful, adorned with all the bright colored Christmas cards. Everyine that stops by says "my God," you must have so many friends. I just shake my head, smile and say, "yep but these are all from my SISTERS!"

My home is lovely too! So many more cards than usual!

I am smiling from ear to ear. I just got a card from Hannelore full of photographs of her family, her mom and herself, THANK you so very much, what a nice surprise.

And also a huge hug and THANK you for the card from GodsLittlePencil/Joan, with a gift card for her store. I will be shopping soon too. Yippee, I love this stuff...

You ladies have outdone yourselves this year with the cards. The messages warm my heart, and the pictures, poems, and such, make my day. My mailwoman has caught on and now she actually brings me my mail every day. She says, "Oh look! You got another one!" We may have to make her an honorary boomer! ha!

LONG LIVE BWS!

Sandpiper, when I first found this site the first thing I thought of was to post it here. If nothing else, other ideas can spin off the ideas already posted. I was actually looking for free crochet patterns and found this site. I wanted to use some of my nervous energy and crochet some Christmas gift bags, LOL.

Ho Ho Ho! I am loving the inserts!

Cheers,
Cathi

Thank all of you so much for welcoming me into your BWS family'. A while back I read how you waited for the mail to arrive with great anticipation of the next card. I was amused with myself when I discovered that I was doing the exact same thing.

I don't have time to be here too often, but I look forward to every message.

I feel like such an "under" acheiver compared to all of you. You seem to be so successful and I'm just getting started. Truthfully, I'm a starving beginner.

Thank you for all of your help and suggestions. I'd like for you to stop by and check out my web site www.sunshinehugs.com. You can see for yourself that I have taken many of your suggestions. Others are still a work in progress.


God's Little Pencil,

I'm hanging the cards on our livingroom door frame.

They look so puuuuurty.

Crochet? Did someone say that?
I can't do it, I can knit. If anyone can crochet me an throw, please PM me! I don't mind paying!
