October placemats
 
1 Attachment(s)
At 61 i'm lucky to still have my folks and 2 wonderful aunts - tho they all live "back home" more than 1000 miles away. Anyway - i was trying to think of something "different" to make them this Christmas - and altho i admit it's kinda weird, i decided to "enroll" them in the "Place mat of the Month Club". Every month i'll send them a place mat for the next month. I want the mats to be something that will make them smile - and that will remind them i think about them every day. I'm sending them out early - with an "enrollment certificate" .....so started with October. Here's what i came up with...[ATTACH=CONFIG]490881[/ATTACH]Thanks for looking.

Those mats are so cute. I bet your family looks forward to the next month and can't hardly wait to see what you send them. How kind of you and you are making them have a smile on their face. Love the cat one with the skinny neck. Cute, cute, cute. Please share with us the mats you make in the future.
