I found a couple of cute sale items of after Christmas goodies. A very cute Santa note pad (with googly eyes), cute gold trio ornament, and a pack of Christmas pencils. 70% 0ff so each one was 30cents. They will make some of those cute extra items we like to add in our package.
I will add these to my 2017 SS box tonight.

Sulabug,
I have been looking at lots of things to make on Pinterest. I seen one thing that was so pretty using hexies. It would make a pretty square table mat, but I guess it could be a round shape, etc. It's not all done in hexies, but to make several of the given pattern using hexies that will form the design (trying to keep the secret) , and then they are appliqued on the square piece of fabric. I may try to find my hexie patterns tonight and begin one. I enjoy having some hand work to do while watching some tv.

JuneBillie.........That sounds great & I will be anxious to know what you have selected. I also got my project pattern off of Pinterest & not to give away my secret, but every sewing person can use one!! Hee-Hee

I do all the after Christmas Sales at JoAnn and Hobby lobby and check out sewing notions and such, I have several totes since I have been doing this for several years, I like to crochet and knit as well, so i make the dishcloths to throw in. Great ideas and thank you

I am glad to see this thread up. I wasn't able to participate in SS and Ornament exchange this year - had some health issues and just wasn't able to get out and do the things this would need. Maybe checking this thread every day will encourage me to get busy and make the things I would like to include.
