Dear Friends,
Around Our House....
Belated Happy Hannuka! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Our House is quiet as a mouse (and we're praying none are in there). We're settled in with our families to relax and enjoy this Christmas season. As we looked back over this fantastic year, we are so grateful for the friendships we've formed and the support we've received. Each of you has helped make Our House a special place - and we thank you.
- Our friend, Kitty, gave us two beautiful needlepoint pieces for Our House. They're hanging in the living room area. Make sure you stop and admire them next time you're at Our House.
- Many thanks to Sue Tennill for the beautiful quilting that she did on our Christmas banner. We're going to loan it to our church to use during the Christmas season. To see the banner, go to our website.
- Lynn DiBene Gibbs and friends spent a very productive weekend finishing Christmas cards and gifts.
- Scrappin' Goodtimes held our last retreat for 2009. We all had a relaxed weekend - but productive, too.
