Good news and bad news

First, I received my Needle & Thread exchange from Kathy today. Wow, what fun. She sent a fantastic JBW design made into a Christmas pillow. Included in the exchange was some green and red floss, a spool of Christmas ribbon, and some yummy Butterfinger midgets. I absolutely love it. It made my day, as last night my computer went pfftt. I'm afraid it's the hard drive. Luckily my parents live in the same town so I can use their computer to check e-mail and do my blogging.

Tonight I will put the finishing touches on my USEBB ornament exchange. I'm just one day behind on my schedule. Part of it is drying at my place as I do my blogging.

Hope everyone had a great Monday.

One exchange sent and received

Kathy notified me that she received her N&T Christmas ornament exchange. She assured me she loved everything. She has a collection of 50-60 nutcrackers and mine is her first stitched! What a treat for me to give her one.

On another note, Friday at the Humane Society was a great day. We adopted five dogs. Three of them went to the state of Illinois. I highly recommend the website Petfinder.com as a source for find any type dog or cat you want to adopt.

My sister did really like her name ornament. The men in my family had a fun giving me a hard time about seeing the name. The two brothers-in-law said the only "name" they could see was my initials and the date stitched! Now my sister wants me to do one for her husband so they have matching ornaments on the tree.

I have one more exchange for the USEBB to get in the mail. I'll put the finishing touches on it today and get it ready to take to the post office tomorrow. Then, I have a few ornaments to finish for friends. Have a wonderful Sunday.
