JCS Ornament Issue

Let us know - I nabbed an issue as I wasn't sure if I would or wouldn't.

I have a question. I have a two year subscription to JCS. Will I
automatically get the Ornament issue, or should I go out and buy it?

another copy in the mail but I probably won't get it till
November.

I've been a subscriber for many (at least ten) years. The Ornament
issue is NOT included with the subscription. I've never even seen one.

Got my issue Saturday and found easily 20+ that I'd like to do. Maybe
2007 will be the *Year of the Ornaments* for me! Has anyone tried any
of the recipes found in these issues (any year, not just this one) or
do you consider that more "fluff" to make the issue bigger?

Some of the recipes sound good, but since I don't do holiday dinners any
more, I haven't tried them.

I'm not sure it's "fluff" to make the issue bigger, but to help each
designer fill up her page without writing a longer essay. I always find
it intriguing to see what other people cook for special occasions.

In my family, Christmas Eve dinner was a German dish that's most easily
explained as wonton soup, with extra-large wontons. Traditionally, "7
makes a meal". You get 3, with broth. Then you get 2, without broth,
and put some salads (a standard lettuce salad and a cucumber salad, and
whatever else the hostess was in the mood for) in the bowl next to them.
Then you get 2 more, your choice "with or without", whether you prefer
more broth or more salad. Mind you, this is seven 3-3.5" square
"ravioli", each with a good-sized dollop of ground meat filling (nearly
golf-ball size), plus the broth and the salads, so seven of them is a
goodly amount of food.

I got lucky and didn't have to buy mine :-)! Since I did the
finishing for Poetta's **darling** Santa design (
http://www.ladybuglane.com )so she sent me a copy. Aren't I the lucky
one!!! I was VERY pleased to see that the chart, etc. is in a nice,
conspicuous place in the magazine, too. There ARE several really cute
designs this year that are tempting. I doubt if I will stitch them, but
they ARE worth thinking about :-)! CiaoMeow ^;;^

Mine hasn't come yet, but is part of a special order package from Susan
Greening Davis. I ordered the "kit" to make her cute little cookie
plate with the tiny gingerbread cookie buttons in it. The autographed
magazine will come with it.

There's a design by DebBees Designs that I really want to stitch.
While traveling through Conway, Arkansas, I stopped at the stitching
shop. When checking out at the register, I hoisted my purse up onto
the counter. Then noticed it landed on something. Pulled the item out
from under and saw Debbie Rowley's stitched ornament model. (If you're
reading this Debbie, I'm so sorry!) It was very pretty.

That being said, I just loved browsing through a friends copy! Still
trying to pick others that are a "must stitch".
