Sunrise, this is why I enjoy the exchanges so much -- I have a small extended family and they prefer $$$ gifts over "love and time" gifts! I remember years and years ago, I spent gosh how long on cross-stitching a Mickey Mouse from Fantasia picture for my young at the time nephew for his birthday - then framed it. It turned out great if I do say so ..... but my Mom asked me why I couldn't just BUY him a gift ! So I don't give up much of my creative time for my family's gifts.


BY THE WAY - my Secret Santa gifts are winging it to someone's home who - I believe - lives on a corner lot somewhere (according to my snooping on-line!) ... Just a hint.

Both my daughter's that live by me could care less for my quilting gifts. Although the youngest (45) asks me for pot holders and I think both of them would like table runners. Some day I may see them long enough to ask!
I intend on getting this in the mail tomorrow. Will let you know when it is on the way to wherever! Now to find out "wherever" is!
