Christmas Stocking Swap

It seems like lately, I just don’t have time for my “creative” side.  That’s why I was so happy when my sweet friend, Sherry Bamsey, invited me to join her
Christmas Stocking Swap!

My partner was Denise Hahn. I love Denise!
She’s one of my cupcake girls!  I had a great time
putting a stocking together for her!
Here it is:

I received a stocking from our hostess, Sherry!
I was so excited!

 

Here’s how it looked when I opened the box:

You can bet that I couldn’t wait to dig in there are
see all of my treasures!

Spooks, treats and holiday cheer!

So, that's me on Halloween!! I went as a brunette Sookie Stackhouse from "True Blood". We stuffed ourselves with Mexican food and then took the kids trick-or-treating. Then we came home and made ourselves sick on candy, cupcakes and caramel apples! Fun times!!
