On The Tenth Day of Christmas...

Wednesday December 23, 2009
ON THE TENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your true love gave to you - ten Lords-a-leapin'...
...nine ladies dancing, eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.

After the Lords get done leapin', this is what they use for their sore muscles.

Displaying Holiday Cards

Wednesday December 23, 2009
'Tis the season for holiday greetings. Do you receive tons of greeting cards from friends and family? How do you display the cards you receive? Please share your fun and unique ways and they could be featured here! All you need to do is use this simple form...

Here is how I display the Christmas cards we get:

Sorry, I don't have a pattern for this quilt... I made it a few years ago and there was no commercial pattern... It was part of a kit I purchased from a quilt store and the directions were simply printed on a piece of paper which I can no longer find! :-( The main part of the quilt is simply a panel, with 6X6-inch squares down the side. Each square has a pocket sewed to it to hold the cards. Then I simply added a border. The fun part was quilting this. I stippled around all of the pictures in the panel.

Don't forget, you can check out ways other people display their holiday cards and then share your own ideas and photos.
