Christmas is around the corner

Yes, its true...Christmas is around the corner. I've been busy getting my gifts ready and my Christmas ornament ready for the exchange. I would just love to show them all to you, but WHAT IF someone who is going to receive one of my gifts looked at my blog and saw the something I made, then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. And I love surprises... And speaking surprises!... You know my mother died in July :( Well, each Friday I got over to her house and visit with my stepdad and look through some of the many things she's left. One day I was cleaning out the corner area near her chair. She loved to collect tins. Oh my gosh have I already found so many tins... So anyway, I'm looking through the bookcase and I come across this tin.

Oh yummy. I love toffee. Unfortunately though, many of the tins I found were empty. So I figured this one was too. Until I picked it up...It was NOT EMPTY. Look what was inside. LOL!!!!!!!! I laughed and was so excited. WHAT A TREASURE BOX!!!!!

oh! My Graden Plot!

Such a busy girl I was stitching away this year... I've got The Garden Plot Thickens by Amy Mitten all framed up. I just love the suede mat. I always love suede mats. I don't care that they cost more. I love them! I picked out the frame and the frame shop FINALLY got it in. Do you know, I ordered it in MAY?! pfffft! I even had to call them like 5 or more times to check on it. All because they offer a 10% discount. LOL I'm only showing part of the picture. Just so you get the idea. And sorry about the glass glare, can't help it.
