Dear friends, I’m on a bloggy vacation, so I’m not going to do an actual post until Jan. 3rd’s Tuesday Tea. I just finished up the quilted tote bags for my giveaway winners last night and will be shipping them tomorrow. While I'm spending this week learning how to sew with my new Serger, I thought I’d leave you with a few sneak peeks at January’s posts. I do hope you are enjoying as lovely a holiday as I have been!

Photo Credit for Top Photo~ The photo of me at the top, was my youngest son's idea. He is pictured with the pool stick in my hubby's office/rec room. He is 16, loves photography and has a photo blog. I asked him to take a photo of my hands drawing my sleep sack pattern and he said, "Just hold it right there, Mom, and look up at me." That boy is just a natural photographer I guess. I certainly would never have thought to do a 'pose' like that. I guess the Lord knew that I needed a 'live in' photographer to help me with my blog. LoL!

Donna, I had the craziest dream last night that I was that a party and you were there too!! I guess I've just had all your awesome Christmas posts on my brain!
I can't wait to read these full posts!
That is such a sweet thing to say! Really, Mommypants, all I do is post what I do..and that's whatever happens to pop up. These are things that I either had to do and or that have come up in conversation with friends. I'm so relieved to know that 'real life' is interesting to read about. Ha! Where do you live? Perhaps we should meet. LOL!

I can't wait to see what you are up to in Jan! I'm glad you had a nice Christmas...we did too...actually the best EVER! Thank you for your words of wisdom in my teen post...you have given me a lot to think about in a way I may not have before.
Oh and I like that picture your son took of you!!
Can' hardly wait, it is such a pleasure to read and the themes are very, very interesting...
thanks for sharing
A new serger ... how lovely!
I am looking forward to the organizing post I think - organizing your sewing and craft stuff. lol! Of course you would be the one to be so organized! Enjoy your break.
Looks like you are all set for next year. Hope your Christmas was great! I wasn't sure what you meant by a "subscribe" thingy. Don't you have a reading list on your blog? That's all I use to see if someone has posted, plus it shows up in the front of my blog. I don't understand??? Oh well, you have a great week. Take care.
Looks like some great posts coming up! Have a great week!
blessings,
Jill
wow, you are one talented lady...wishing you blessings in 2011...I found you while blog hopping, have a super week!
enjoy *~*
Dear Donna,
A new serger...how wonderful! That is something I would love to have one day...what a handy machine to have. I love your new look...and look forward to all your upcoming posts! Girl, you are way too busy! It makes me tired just reading all the things you're doing! Seriously though, I just love reading about your projects.
Have a very blessed day,
Laura
What a fabulous line up Donna! I hope you are going to say that Sweet & Low is bad, bad, bad. That's what my mom tells me anyway. Love your new header by the way, it looks great. And the way you are showing your photos, looks so soft and inviting.
Happy new Year!

Ha!Ha! Maria..yes..I am..but you let the cat out of the bag. The shocking thing is what the side effects actually were... All I was worried about was cancer. I had no idea that all the unexplained problems I was having were due to Sweet-n-low or why. Now I do. I've been off it a year. I should have posted this a long time ago!
Glad you like the photos. :o)
What is your sons photo blog? Would love to visit it :-)
huh, yes, of course you can link. I don't think it is that fabulous (she says, as she sits here with messy hair and an outfit she will NOT be blogging about :)) but sure! Good for your daughter. From what I've seen on your blog, you look just fine! I don't ever want "looking nice" to become an obsession for me (with my personality this is a distinct possibility) ... just what I've been thinking about....
Happy new year!! January is a little bit slower for us. We should pick a date to get together.
That would be just awesome Caroline! Funny...I'm going to be in College Station on January 6th for a square dance with Tim and the kids. One of these days, we should just come a couple of hours early and drop. :O)
