Two Crazy Crafters

Merry Christmas to all the lovely people who have read our blog this year. It has been such a pleasure getting to know many of you. Today is our 1st year blogiversary. We will have a give away, but know that everyone is busy right now, so we’ll do the giveaway in an upcoming post after Christmas.

We have already had one ‘Christmas’ celebration with my dear friend Susan. Many of you know Susan as the friend I grew up with and is a breast cancer survivor.

She knows me so well that the gifts she gives me are always what I want.

This set of Hallmark ornaments that I collect.

These calico mice are Hallmarks from 1978. She knows how to pull my heartstrings.

This wonderful Folk Art Pfaltzgraff snowglobe for my collection and

a set of glasses to match.

When we were growing up we were big Beatles fans and she had this pillowcase specially made for me.

It was a fun evening. I didn’t take pictures of the gifts I gave her, but then, she likes ‘practical’ things.

One day last week the mailman brought me a special surprise. It was a sweet gift from Holly of Girls At Heart. She made a cupcake picture for me by repainting a thrift store frame and making the picture herself. She even put touches of glitter on it. It was so sweet of her and the nicest part was that she made it for me! Thank you, Holly!

MaryEllen of Art Kissed gave us the Christmas Cheer award. That was very thoughtful of her! I love MaryEllen she is such a hoot and a great artist. If you aren't reading her blog you should do yourself a favor and start!
