Happy Holidays to one and all!

Tree is decorated or I should say trees. We have a number of those skinny Charley Brown type trees. You know the ones with narrow branches, real narrow branches. They maybe hold a hundred lights and 30 ornaments. And that's the 6 foot one! My family thinks I'm a little strange liking skinny trees with ripped Christmas fabric bows and raffia as tensil. We have a virtual mini forest right in the family room.

Next FabShopHop is in January. If you haven't done so yet, go to their sight and sign up. It is free. New Hop

Next show is Road to California in beautiful Ontario, CA at the convention center on January 13-18th. A-one show. Your can learn more and sign up for classes at Road to California.

Direct following the Road show is the Craft and Sewing Festival in Phoenix, AZ on January 22-24 at the fairgrounds. Always a good turn out. Very crowded on Thursday, easy shopping on Saturday.
