Well, here is a picture of our tree this year.....I guess the "want to" did finally win out. I made the ornaments that are on it, think it could use some more. Also, I should have taken the clock down before snapping the picture. The gifts under it are all for me!!!! I did a 12 days of Christmas swap with the women on the HGTV needlework & quilting boards. Starting on Sat. we get to open 1 gift each day till Christmas. I am like a little kid, it is hard to wait.
These are the gift card holders I am making for the grandchildren that like money to do their own shopping. I used a Carol Doak pattern that she made for her yahoo group. They have an opening on the back to slip something in. I still have 3 or 4 more to make.
I don't feel like I have gotten much done these past few days, but guess I have. I also did a few more needle tatting projects. The light purple bookmark is for my mom, I am not sure who is getting the other items.
Till next time,

Great work on both the gift cards and the tatting. I've not tried the tatting, is it anything like crochet? The lavender/purple one really catches my eye.
Thanks, I really enjoy the tatting and right now think it is easier. I am just teaching myself to crochet, but seemed to learn tatting much easier.
I like the gift card holder ornaments. :)
Your tree looks great with all the homemade ornaments. I like the gift card holders. Love the tatting, never tried it but I do crochet at times. It's the first needlework I learned to do. I looked at book yesterday at Hancock fabrics for knitting socks, when I seen it took 4 needles I put it right back on the shelf, LOL.
What neat ideas! I love the gift card holders too!! And I think the 12 days of Christmas swap is a fun idea to do with friends too!!!
