The final day of our 12 Days of Christmas has come.  We are both sad and a little relieved.  Sad because we have had so much fun creating new things, and relieved because when my sister came up with this idea  and we didn't have the projects designed.  Consequently, we usually came up with the idea for a project each …

We had snow again this weekend in Colorado, and we took advantage of it on Sunday by taking the kids sledding.

In Life, Quilting by Lisa Burnett

One of my most favorite memories of Christmas was when my mom got out the Advent Calendar on the first of December.  She always got the one with the mouth watering, 10 -year old chocolate hiding behind the windows of the calendar.  I didn't care what the chocolate tasted like.  Opening up that window was magical to me- Christmas was one …
