Bpathome that is hilarious!!! Thank Annie for your idea as well. We went with "Merry Christmas from our family, including baby-to-be, on the site of our home-to-be!" Kids had a blast climbing the equipment and our son even got to drive a bit, sharing the seat with the licensed operator. His expression and the pure joy captured in the videos is priceless.

Kudz, I remember my husband showing me how to make these years ago. We had them put up all over the place. I think I will do it with my grandchildren this year. And since I have from the Gulf Coast (Florida) also, I agree with you on the weather. I dcn't think I would live any where else. And I love pot likker and cornbread!! I also just now figured out what your name is. I thought it was from little country in Europe but you are the Kudzu Queen!! I get it now. b

Thanks Peggy, I want to know how much I appreciate this. In our emails I know that we have both had our trials and tribulations, and paying it foreward is one of the best ways to fight depression. In my part, I have been volunteering with the church youth group, sharing my canned goodies and some Christmas goodies to neighbors and shut-ins, it isn't about money but about doing for others. God Bless you, each and everyone. Stacie

Marie, the quilts are gorgeous! I love the small yo-yos, they really tie the border to the quilt. But, a KOKOPELLI!!!! My dh is from Arizona and I fell in love with them when I visited his family the first time. And a ceramics class!!! I wish I could take one!!! Merry Christmas, I would love all of the gifts and I know they will too!!!!! Rosa
