Beachy at Whispering Poppies is hosting a Home Sweet Home Holiday Blog Party and Giveaway. Head on over and look at the great photos full of Beachy's Christmas Cheer and dont forget to join in the fun, there is great Christmas music and lots of people linking up on the Mr. Linky.
Two weeks ago we had our family Christmas celebrations as Mel and her fiance Chris will spend Christmas and New Year with Chris's family in Connecticut. Our first ever Christmas apart. So we set about making the best of it and got the tree up on December 1st. Mel put all her decorations up and we had a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
Mel, Lein and I made our own wrapping paper using wallpaper lining, stamps, glitter, sequins and ribbons. A special time for me, crafting with my two daughters. It is not often we all get to be together.
I finished Leiny's cardigan in time for our family pre Christmas Christmas and she was so happy to receive it.

That sweater is gorgeous! I wish I could knit like that!!
It's really hard when our children grow up and move away and Christmas changes. This year because of that we are doing a destination Christmas. It feels so strange not to be at home for the holiday. The sweater is gorgeous!! Happy Holidays. ~ Lynn
The cardigan is wonderful...no wonder that your recipient loves it!
I also enjoyed your trip to Vienna. Sigh. How else could I travel the world?
Thank you!
What a beautiful sweater. I love home made gifts. It would be a treat to recieve a gift where the wraping paper was hand made too. What a great idea! I hope you and your family have a blessed and joyful holiday, Carol
