HI Everyone
American doll store at the mall of America

Here is my holiday.

We had no tree at home this is at my sons house .So this is Christmas tree

It was a wonderful holiday,the birthday,25Th anniversary and Christmas

When my daughter open her birthday present it was empty I got the boxes mixed up.that was the start of gifts.I had wrapped my daughter present we took to Minneapolis for her.When they handed out the gift Christmas morning, one of the nieces from her was missing a gift. Joe went and looked in the truck it was there.I got my granddaughters a Pod Nana wrong color everything will be fixed.

This is the trees after the snow in Minneapolis after Christmas it snowed during the time in Minneapolis.

This is a skate my son had when he was young.Son and daughter in law liked it

and was surprised .Going to do one for myself .

These are the pillow I made for the 25Th anniversary.The pink fabric is from the dress I wore to my parents 25TH anniversary I was very young 8 or 9 years old .
.

I did a silver tree with 25 , quarters
The cake was chocolate with raspberry filling
Cream frosting. Sooo good. Punch was a fruity and ginger ale
Also very good

This is a small cottage next to a house by my sons house. I want one in my back yard.We hope to build a shed this summer .

Do not know where to find that kind of wood. Do love it
Went to the Mall of

America This is in the mall The decoration where very pretty

The trees where very tall They went for a couple floors .Went to the mall two times The day before Christmas and the day after. Like I said before what we do for grand kids

My daughter birthday Dec 24Th
My son and his wife Dec 27 there 25Th wedding anniversary My son lives in Minneapolis.I have planed a small party just some family,I ordered a cake
will make a punch there .I did not know what to get them so I started with these small pillow .Copied the two pictures .There colors for there wedding was red there was pine green and red roses in her flowers so tryed to kind of copy them on one pillow. I had the announcement from
the news paper and copied that sew that on one of the pillows I made the pink flowers out of the dress I wore to my parents 25TH anniversary party ,about 60 or more years ago .

When we where out east a few months ago my daughter boughtcandle with color for the packers football colors .So I'm making candle matts for the packer's and the vikings. Then the candles can sit on them. I just liked the colors of the blue
.

I won a few months ago a package of fabric ,trim,charms and beads .I have started to usw the things. Do not know what I will make from it when I'm done ,it is about 6 inches sq .Any ideas?


This was my sons skate when he was younger. I painted holly and berry's ,then put some floral things and a welcome light in it. Going to give to him for Christmas. He is so hard to give him gifts.Like almost all young people they get what they want.They have allot more money then me.
It looks a bit like junk in the picture , but I think it is nice. When it is dry I will play around with

it.

I'm seeing allot better.

Hope to be buzy this week

SORRY

I have not had a computer for too long .
Could not get any wireless. The only thing good about it is I cleaned and got things cleaned out A friend is have a garage sale this summer . I'm giving it to her for it. There is boxes of things I no longer want.
I had a feather tree up and it started to tip I took it down and put the things away. Do not think I will have a tree ,May do one for my daughter.Will be gone allot before Christmas and my house is clean
I have done too many tree for other peoples . Maybe next year.
I have everything done I will not do any baking
Gifts are wrapped cards are addressed. I think the older you get it harder to get in the holiday mood.
