Also all the snowmen and trees and the tea light holder ( Mine said Believe and others said Home Sweet Home) It has been a wonderful time to look forward to each year. I thank you so much Betty.

Linda Kay yours is looking good too.

Been on couch since Sunday so haven’t been to post office, likely on weekend Judy

Thank you for doing that judy, now how old is that new camera of mine lol 2 or 3 years old and i still havent taken it out of box shame on me!
Thank you linda kay
Thank you betty i sure enjoyed this one!
Im looking foward to seeing everyones.

I got mine done. I love how these came out. Thanks so much for doing these kits every year. Especially this year when you are not feeling your best.
Sorry they are sideways, I wish DG would not turn them.

Lovely lindakay, they did come out the right way but seem squatted, maybe your camera,

They are lovely..

I noticed on one it seemed a bit sparse, you could if you wanted cutoff apiece of garland branch or off a pick and glue gun it in.. love them

Who are these for?

Love doing it for you all, already have next year’s project and look forward to #12

Imagine we’ve all been together that many years, true friends

Oh i love those linda kay came out beautiful!

I will add more greenery. I think I will keep one and give the other to my neighbor.
Thanks everyone.

Beautiful!! I have had Dr appts all week so hope to get paint and get mine done over the weekend. Tomorrow is a rest day - Had mammo and ultrasound on Monday, palliative care doctor on Wednesday and primary today. I am wiped......
I love getting out of the house but it sure takes its toll on my breathing. Wears me out completely...
Cat is almost done... Been pushing to get it done by Christmas...

That will be nice lindakay, a. Sure she will love it!

That is a lot 8n a week for sure Barb..wow, almost done the cat, will you get it framed or is it something our Norm can do?

Can't wait to see the finished cat Barb.

Today Marie & I deliver 100 clothed dolls with wardrobes & sewn up drawstring bags to Beautiful Threads, an organization that supports Foster Parents. BT helps Foster parents with clothes, furniture (beds dressers etc) and toys when needed.

WOW! Bless you for all you do.

How is Ben doing?

My job is to stitch the cat - then it goes to Norm to do with it as he wishes..... He wants to have it professionally framed.

Ben is really trying to be compliant to his medication and staying down off the leg. It is getting better. A lot less swelling and the open areas are healing over. Long road to go with more specialists but we're hopeful it will be as "normal" as it can be before too many more months.
We are much closer to being done with our Christmas shopping and it's looks like I can really meant the deadlines.... that is a good feeling. I bought a new tree this year and can hardly wait to get it up.

Glad to hear he is on the mend.

I'm so glad he finally decided to follow doctors orders. Hope he realizes how very lucky he has been regarding his health. The reports of his healing are wonderful Pat and will eventually make his care much easier for you. Best Christmas present ever......

AMEN!!! thanks all.

Judy and Liz, received your $$$

Taking all my time to post, still in hospital,,will catch up in a bit

Get better soon Betty.

Slow down Betty, and take this time to realize that when you're out of hospital is NOT a ticket to go back to your ways of overdoing. PLEASE!!
When I had my heart attack in 2015, it made me appreciate everything & everyone I have. We appreciate you, Betty & want you to be around for a long time. If you continue to overdo, you may be here, in a diminished capacity.
Yeah, I know - I'm nagging, but I'm really worried about you & everyone else here is, too..........

We had a great dinner at the Silver Willows senior center tonight - wow, what a lot of food!
I've knitted 3 of 4 double knitted headbands for friends - I really like this double knitting - so cozy feeling! Wonder how it translates to other knitting projects?!?!

WHAT??? Betty, I did not know that you were in the hospital!!! Are you OK? What happened???

Betty's blood pressure skyrocketed....Dizzy, nauseas, headaches and constant vomiting and I'm sure she was scared. Went by ambulance so you know she needed to be there. She posted on the other thread that she would be in the hospital for a few days.....

Thank you for posting this, Barb

Thanks Barb.

Doctor Haven’t finished his rounds yet but they took me out of isolation, took iv out, potassium ok, blood pressure ok, nurse says maybe home today but they may want to keep me till tmr to make sure potassium stays at good levels but I’m ready for home.

Cross your fingers

Be well Betty... be patient. Hard when it's holidays! Glad to hear you are doing better.

Got ok to go home,sil wanted to pick me up but I know mom, she would be mad so told her to come for 12:30
Here I am in lobbywaiting for an hour..will wait 1/2hr more then taking a cab home

Sure hope she shows up to take you home.

Betty - every time you go home, you start vomiting again. Don't you think you need to stay in the hospital? I'm praying for you........ *Gentle Hugs*
