Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	That is absolutely beautiful! And the frame you chose really shows it off. Is it for you to keep and then pass down to your family, or is it a gift for someone? Kathy

CrosstitchQueen Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 477 Loc: Sanford, Florida	Actually, I haven't made up my mind yet. As I was working on it, I planned to give it away, but hadn't decided who to give it to........and now my husband likes it so much, he says he wants to keep it, but I'm sure we'll pass it on to someone either in the family or a good friend sooner or later. The whole time I was working on it I kept thinking it should go to someone with kids or grandkids who would get a kick out of hanging the daily ornament and counting down til Xmas, you know? _________________________ Ann

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	KAth, I was going to ask the same question. I don't blame your husband for wanting to keep it. IT's beautiful. Let him be the lucky kid who gets to ass an ornament a day. My MIL always gave our kids Advent calendars when they were litte. It was great, but the only issue was that there was only one calendar, and they all wanted to open the little window every day. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

chickadee Member Registered: 09/26/04 Posts: 3910 Loc: Alabama	I'm daughter does cross stitch and I can only imagine the time and effort that went into this one. It is beautiful and I bet hubby would love to be the one to hang the ornaments too Dotsie. Are you talking about the chocolate calendar? _________________________ chick ~ Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't ~ ~ Prayer is the most we can do for another human being ~
