Mini Magazine Holder

I have finished 1 set completely! It was so much fun to do.  Deb Valder does an awesome job on you tube.  Link below.  Her written instructions is off on 1 measurement.  So listen to what she says for the measurements.  Have a second one almost done...  Making it for a friend that loves frogs.  She will be so excited!!

So have fun my friends making this.  This set is for a customer that wanted a set of note cards for her sister-in-law.  8 cards/envelopes plus the holder....

So that is it for today.  Enjoy the rainy/snowy day or what is left of it.

What to do on a Winter day.

Can you truly believe it is December already?  Where have the days gone?

 I can still remember as a child that the day was so slow.  That school day seemed to drag along.  Although I really didn't have anything planned except to read a new book that I had gotten out of the library!  I loved to read back then and I still love to read today!  Give me a book and I can loose myself in it.  Please just let me read one more chapter......oops well 4 more chapters.....
Yes, reading is a way to escape life, if life is treating you bad get a book and let yourself go to that place to be rescued by a handsome rogue, a knight in shining armor, a cowboy with the beautiful horse.....  I loved reading about horses....  dream about horses....  had one years ago.  A beautiful quarter horse, Lady.  Very gentle.

Memories.... take the good with the bad.  Remember the Black Stallion Books?  I use to get a new one every Christmas.  I would read that book over and over.  Still finding places that I had missed in the previous read.  I think those were my favorite books to read back then. 
Today, my favorite are the Historical Romances, back in the 1700 & 1800's.  Hard life, but so romantic.

Mail order brides....do you really think that they can fall in love when they meet that guy for the first time?  I do.  I met my husband back in Waterville the summer of 1970.  Met in June, engaged in August, married in December.  They said it would never last....  We will celebrate our 44th year this Friday....  Lilia will be going to the boarding kennel and we will be heading where ever the car will take us....  No plans really.  Depends on the day and the weather.  No times to get back home.  Will ask Sue or Astreda to feed Prince.   As long as he is fed we are all set....

Enough of my ramblings.  Will get my bread going.  Love the smell of home made bread!

Till next time,
