Christmas in October

As some of you might remember I'm on a committee for the

big Primary Children's Medical Center fund raiser held each December.

The Festival of Trees is held the first weekend in December and 

raises millions of dollars for our local children's hospital.

One of the events of the weekend is a boutique with mostly

hand made items for sale.  Everyone that's on a committee is asked to donate 

ten items for the boutique.

Usually I wait til the very last minute.  This year I'm a couple of weeks early.

Here's what I came up with...

Some tags, to be sold in sets of three.

And some embellished battenburg lace stockings.

Everything's all packaged up and ready to be turned in at the end of October.

It's truly a Christmas miracle!

Life Goes On

Thank you all for your kind words of sympathy. Your prayers and thoughts are so appreciated and have helped us with our grief.  Rudy has left a little hole in our hearts. We know his kind soul has moved on to a better place that is free of pain and suffering.  We miss him so much but life goes on. 

I am on a committee for Festival of Trees that takes place the first week in December.  It is a huge fundraiser for our local children's hospital.  Millions of dollars are raised each year for health care costs for children that are in need of medical care and don't have health insurance.  Christmas trees are decorated, donated and auctioned by individuals and corporations.  There is a gingerbread house competition, Santa visits, kids crafts, fun food, and a big boutique. 

Here are a couple of wool felt applique ornaments that I'm donating to the boutique this year.

So if you're in the Salt Lake City area Dec. 1st -4th come on over to the South Town Convention Center.  It's a really fun activity for the family and it's for a great cause.
