I spent all night working on one last thing. A bag for my sister Julie. I am going over there tomorrow night. I got clear down to the handles attaching to the straps and my machine is not cooperating...I just hate that!! I am going to go to bed and figure it out before I leave tomorrow.
I want to thank Barb and Deb too. I got two packages in the mail that are under my little pink tree...I even had to give them a squeeze. Just like a kid I guess but I will have them on Christmas!
Here a couple more things I sent CJ.
It is made out of old laces, trims and ribbons and there is vintage fabric inside...
I also made her a stuffed heart ornament and some straight pins with little toppers.
She got my box and I got hers and we both were so overwhelmed we havent been able to talk about how wonderful everything is! Wait till' you see the stuff she made me...It was just unbelievable going thru my box. In fact, I cried....a lot. I will share soon....Love you all.....melinda
Well it is Christmas Eve and I sat down and my sewing machine and it finished up the bag for my sister just fine..What the heck, but I am glad...If it looks kind of lumpy, it is because I put some things in there...I love this fabric...

I think of you often Melinda, for some reason I haven't been getting the blog updates for yours and a couple others, so didn't know if you were still here. I hope next year brings a better time for you. You have so much to give.
Bless You,
Laurie
I, too, wish a year of blessings for you in 2012....please continue to have the faith that will get you through these tough times. We were never promised that life would be fair BUT we were promised that He would be with us and would also never give us more than we could handle. Sometimes, it's hard to believe that, but...it's true. Hugs to you across the miles, Melinda!
