Post 696 question:
** What is the (one) thing you most would like to have in your 'Secret Santa' package?
I like scraps as well. And I did wonder if my SS would like to receive some. What do you all consider a scrap? I mean I save even tiny bits. Does your scrap need to be bigger than a postage stamp? Do you want a layer cake stamp or 1/4 of a jelly roll strip?

Post 756 question:
I like jigsaw puzzles. Does anyone else? Another good question! Love puzzles. They remind me of time with my sweet motherinlaw. I've been hunting a fun quilting puzzle.

Oh and because I keep forgetting. All my flower pins are bent and I always wanted a pincushion/thread catcher that goes by my machine. My girls both have one. Lol

Default Machine embroidery lace bookmark

Here are photos of the lace crosses I was asking if anyone
liked.

I added hotfix crystals to them, but the only one that you
can really see the crystals on is the dark gold bookmark.

What a great idea, good for you. I just started the adult coloring! Love it. My first color book is all owls, every page. I just spend a few minutes every now and then and this in order to slow myself down. It works.

My oldest daughter has requested "adult" coloring books for
her birthday. So I went to Michael's and found an awesome
book for her PLUS I ordered a 50 pack of colored pencils, and
a 50 of markers, also a small "pocket size" book.

Than I found tons of free coloring pages to download and print
that was free. So I printed 145 pages.

I think this will help keep her de-stressed some.

With her heart condition she NEEDS to try and not get stressed
to much, as it is we find out next week if she is going to have to
have the defibrillator implanted or if the meds are doing the job.

Louise, your crosses are beautiful. I can see them as bookmarks now. Where did you find your coloring pages and did you use regular paper to print them on?
