My oldest daughter, Alex, came home for Thanksgiving and was able to stay with us from Wednesday until this afternoon. Caroline, the youngest, was here all last week, too. It was so wonderful to be together again. The girls love each other so much. We laugh until our sides hurt and our throats get sore!
At times, a queen size bed held Caroline and Alex – plus their three dogs (Ginger and Mary Ann - Alex’s cute, long haired daschunds and Cousin Maybelle - Caroline’s long legged, loveable mutt!) Craziness… but, oh-so-much-fun! I would not trade it for anything!
We usually have a crafting and/or painting session while Alex is home. When she saw the snowmen that Caro and I had made, she wanted to make a Christmas ornament, too. So, we dragged out the supplies and she chose a few things. It took a while to finish because her whip stitching is very close together! But look what she made. Now, I want one too!
I love the red felt heart that she added.
It started with a few scraps from the craft box. Don’t you just love handmade?
This week I am linking to:
