This has been a week of catch up after a full Thanksgiving holiday. We had lots of family time and food and meals and talk and food and dishes and food and....well, you get the idea.
One little tradition we have is to put out a jigsaw puzzle when there is a family gathering. This year we finished two puzzles. Gathering around an activity like that seems to encourage conversation across the generations and limits the awkwardness that sometimes comes when people gather only a few times a year.
So...I have more to share but the husband is ready to go shopping so it will have to wait. But....just one thing.....there is still time to "like" or "+1" my entry into the Iron Quilt challenge. The voting is open until Sunday. All votes appreciated. I would love to get to 100 (my combined votes are at 73 now) I know that won't be enough to win but somehow that number seems like an accomplishment. The links to the voting pages are on the previous post here. My local quilt store put a post on their Facebook page about the quilt...that was exciting!
I'm off to help the economy......wish me luck in finding just the right presents for everyone.

ReplyDeleteHi Nina, hope you get those extra votes but you know you're a winner without them! Love doing jigsaw puzzles too - didn't know there was a Wizard of Oz one ... 'Hey DH, where's that list?'
