Snowmen Make Me Laugh

Why does this make me laugh?

When I try to explain this cartoon to my friends (yes, I have some)I start laughing and must concentrate to get through it. I'm laughing now just thinking about Frosty picking his nose ...
Have you heard the one about Santa and Snowman poop?

Holly Jolly Blog Bingo



I am playing bingo online quilty style with those creative gals over at The Quilt Shoppe. I love creative people. I would have never thought of something this fun. You can bet your bippy that I am already laughing over this whole adventure.
Here is my word list:
bubble lights
charity
church
hope
lantern
red
nativity
sparkle
sweet potato
toboggan
wassail
wonder
yuletide
white elephant
holly berries
ivy
linens
comfort
grinch
figgy pudding
quilts
love
trumpet
ho, ho, ho
pine cone

My plan was to pick words that weren't all that popular or obviously Christmas ... we will see if that works! Everyday The Quilt Shoppe will post seven words. I will change the color of my words as they are drawn. Did I mention that they have prizes?

The Virtual Christmas Quilt Show!

This is my very bad picture of the Christmas quilt I made this year. I have had a Mary Engelbreit charm pack since last Christmas. I was saving it for something special, but what? Park City Girl had a quilt along for a zigzag pattern and I knew I had to make it. This was very fun because I made it up as I went along. It started out as this: (all the right ingredients) and became this: I have enjoyed participating in virtual quilt shows. There is something special about quilters and why they create quilts. Their stories are little gifts of joy. Now go over to SewCalGal and check out some REALLY beautiful Christmas quilts and experience a bit of the holiday spirit!
