JuneBillie -- Bonnie is so cute in her Scottish plaid! What kind of dog is she? The fog we babysit when his parents go away looks like Bonnie; I think he's 4 years old now.

tlambling -- I have that same panel ... it's somewhere in my Christmas stash! Can't resist Santas, although no little ones around here to turn it into an Advent calendar.

Love the pictures of the gingerbread cookies, your little doggie is so cute Susan, and I love the advent calendar, tlambling. Have always been gong to make one.....but....that time again!

Love seeing all the posts about Christmas.

It is the 6th of December here today. I think our corresponding time here in Australia to open our Ornament swap will be approximately 6am on Monday 7th December. However, I will be in transit to Brisbane come early Monday morning. We have a busy day trip with appointments so I more than likely will not get to open my package until very late on Monday night the 7th.

In my opinion Betty J, you should get to open your package now! So fun and a teaser for all of us here in the states!!! Bless you and your patience! Merry Christmas!

I just looked at the time zone converter and 1pm Pacific time is actually 8am AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on the West Coast of Australian it would be two hours later. We seem to be approx. 15 hours ahead of the US.

Monale~ I received your package and I can't wait to open!!!!!

18 Hours and 42 minutes!!!!!

Oh how exciting! This bow is a little loose....

But I think he would like the weather better here in Florida than where you are. ;)

Thanks Lynnie, and all for your kind words for little Bonnie. She is my shadow.

RedGarnet those look yummy, and yes very easy to put together. I will keep that one in mind for the holidays.

Teresa that is a very pretty advent quilt.

Ctyankee Bonnie is a Yorkie. She is so lovable, but has attitude for sure.
