What did Santa bring?
Several CDs (which I listen to in my lair) and a gift certificate from
my LQS. And a few other fun things as well--including a purple cutting mat. DH got a laser level, he was a bit surprised bit will understand once my next quilt is done. Mary |

What did Santa bring?
DH & I stopped exchanging gifts years ago. If we want something, we buy it.
We have an agreement with everyone else, that we only buy for the grandkids. DH & I usually buy some different types of food to eat that we don't normally eat throughout the year. We have different cheeses, crackers, and smoked sausage. It varies from year to year. We do the same thing for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with black-eye peas added. I keep seeing reference to a Bernina Swiss Army knife. What is this? Sherry Starr "KJ" wrote in message news%Crf.674611$xm3.174045@attbi_s21... I'm patiently waiting reports on what goodies Santa brought you all. Santa came early this year and took me to Scotland with all the shopping exeditions included. Oh, I guess I did get a new set of tires on my van the other day. Merry Christmas to me! Almost as expensive as my plane ticket! Hope you all had a great day. Time to slice the roast and set the table. KJ |

What did Santa bring?
Well since i don't have a DH i rely on my 2 children to buy me a gift .. and
they done well.. I got 2 cd's ( Matt Dusk and Anouk) and 2 books ( Jane Fonda's My life and a beautiful love story by Carol Drinkwater ) they also bought me a lottery ticket to win 20 mil Euro on new years eve (yayy) and my son chose a very beautiful black and very soft scarf for me to wear at work (when the airconditioning is on i often feel the cold on my neck and shoulders). He has good taste. I told them that in the new year i plan to lose some weight ( yes again..) and they bought me a scale with body fat monitor to weigh myself on . I guess they want me to be serious about this huh? lol I am very content with my pressies and am going to bed now with Matt Dusk singing to me to sleep..... see y'all tomorrow.. All you wonderful people: have a wonderful day !! FiederhummingtwoshotsofhappyEls. "KJ" schreef in bericht news%Crf.674611$xm3.174045@attbi_s21...

KJ Nothing from Santa this year, but: - a pot of hyacinths my friend Julia potted - a pot of daffodils Julia potted - David Copperfield, from Keith - a mirror trinket for the Welsh dresser from William - a lovely owl bookmark (thanks Sally!) My sister is putting together a box of things to send later (I think she's looking for a pair of trousers for hard-to-fit-Jo). Merry Christmas all. -- Jo in Scotland |

Omelets in a bag? Enlighten me!
KJ "elspeth" wrote in message ink.net... A beautiful leather coat my DH brought back from Argentina (unfortunately I need to lose a few pounds for it to fit well), a computer cam and microphone/headset combo so we can chat "live" while he is away in Denmark for the next 6 months, a quilt square a day calendar from my granddaughters, a James Avery charm necklace with several new charms to add to the vintage charms I have picked up on E-Bay. We made omelets in a bag for breakfast -- lots of fun and very tasty and I didn't have to cook them! We are waiting for the legs of lamb to be finished and then will sit down for lamb and couscous to be followed by a chocolate fountain fondu. All in all an absolutely lovely day. It sounds like others have had a great day also. My happiest Holiday wishes to all. |

What did Santa bring?
The only quilty thing was a subscription to Love of Quilting magazine.
But I got a nice fleece top, a beautiful gold chain for a locket that was my Mom's, a silver bracelet with a pink ribbon charm, a pedometer, a silicone oven mitt, and some nice lotion. Best of all, I spent the day with family Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |

What did Santa bring?
The week before Christmas, we traded in my 2 wheel drive pick-up truck
and treated ourselves to The Beast- a big Dodge 4 door 4 wheel drive pick-up truck. It's burgundy and has a HUGE hemi-magnum engine... horrible gas mileage, but man does it growl nicely and it rides like a dream! (My poor arthritic joints really appreciate that!) And I was so touched... at 55 y.o. and a couple of marriages behind me My Hunky Mr. Collins gave me a birthstone (dark blue sapphire) ring and necklace with (petite) diamonds and matching birthstone post earrings- the FIRST jewelry I have ever received from a man other than a wedding ring! He also gave me a box of chocolates, a burgundy colored compact umbrella to keep in The Beast, a lighted fishing bobber (for night fishing- I usually have to shine a flashlight out on the lake to see if I'm getting a nibble!) and a snazzy bookmarker- I tend to use rubber bands or pieces of paper. vbg DDS#1 gave me a book- Quilter's Computer Companion. Now I can try to learn to design with my computer rather than graph paper and colored pencils. DDS#2 and DDIL bought us a laser level. I see several of us received them- how do they apply to quilting??? His DD#1 and DSIL gave me a pretty basket filled with goodies- shower gel, small quilting supplies, some lovely candies and 4 FQs. My parents gave us a set of sheets- yummy 550 thread count, but they are the size for the guest room bed... I didn't say anything as it would have upset mom that she bought queen instead of king. Oh well... the guest room needs sheets, too. ;-) And my dearest Big Sis (you know her as Pat on her hill) sent us a marvelous "document" with the Collins coat-of-arms and family history. What an amazing, fascinating gift! We had all our children and spouses and the granddarlings that live around here for dinner yesterday and had a wonderful time. I think this was my best Christmas ever- and that's not even including the gifts and truck! Leslie (so happy!) & The Furbabies in MO. |
