Hi everyone,
I want to thank everyone so much for their support this year. This has been an extremely hard year for me. We now have my dad's estate finalized, we are buying my sister's half of the house and my baby will be moving out soon. This is my last Christmas at home with her, so want to make it really special. But I am having my big Giveaways just in time Christmas, so just leave me a comment and you must be a member of my blog to enter.
First, is one of my all time favorites The Snowman in wreath, this is made from a pattern by Country Friends. I love her patterns. This was made on a 12" grapevine wreath, wreath has a little string of lights on it and greenery. This is a large piece.
This is the Original model from my pattern #424 Trees of the Season. This is a set of 3 trees on bobbins with Christmas songs on the trees. I love this set. Tallest tree is about 14" tall. Lots of moss, rusty bells, safety pins and prim tags.
I plan on having a couple more free patterns in the next day or so, so please keep checking back. Hope to have them posted tomorrow.
Next my good friend Becky from Orlando, HI Becky, sent me this recipe to try. Sound easy and yummy.
Easy Cinnamon Sticky Buns (what's not to love?)
2 loaves of frozen bread dough thawed, (You can buy it in the freezer section of the supermarket, any brand)
1/4 pound of butter melted
1 box of vanilla pudding (not instant)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup of raisins ( I like golden)
1 cup of pecans
Add all of the ingredients except the bread dough to the melted butter. Spoon the mixture evenly into the bottoms of a 2 muffin tins. Break the bread into balls and place into each section. Cover with clean dishtowel and let the bread rise for 2 hours in warm dry spot.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Hi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower of your blog and would love to enter your giveaway.
This is our first Christmas with no kids at home anymore. Our youngest daughter moved out last January. It seems strange to think that on Christmas morning, it will only be Mr. D and me...but both girls and families will be here later that day.
Hope you are having a Happy Holiday Season!!

ReplyDeleteHi Sandy! Can't wait for my trees to arrive! Please enter me in your awesome giveaway! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your daughter, and the New Year is much better for you!
ReplyDeleteSandy, I am so happy that I discovered your blog this year. It definitely has been a long year for you and you had so much to go through. Enjoy this last Christmas with your daughter and I'm sure it is going to be a very memorable one for all of you. And just think of all the new traditions (along with the old traditions) that you're daughter is going to be able to start making for herself. And if she's anything like me......there's nothing that keeps me away from my parents on Christmas to this day (well....it helps that I also refuse to move more than 3 houses away from them!!! LOL) Happiest holiday wishes to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, please enter my name in your great giveaway. I'd love to win!!

ReplyDeleteMy Dad was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer the day before Thanksgiving, admitted into the hospital Thanksgiving eve with the addition of having a heart attack and is now home for my husband & I to care for him as long as we possibly can. I can only hope & pray for the same strength you have displayed this year.
Your heart & generousity to always think of others is commendable. I'd be honored to display your wonderful creations!
Merry Christmas Sandy.....~.~
