A belated Merry Christmas and Happy and healthy New Year to everyone.

Here is hoping that everyone had a great time yesterday, didn't eat too many sweets or mince pies and got some great presents that they really wanted.

Wishing everybody a prosperous New Year.

Here is the link where I posted the wall hanging before And Karen, yes, the boys were so thrilled about the tree. We'd told them we likely would not go to that expense this year, as there is so much other stuff we've been needing to buy. When my in-laws heard us mention that, they kicked into gear and did it for us. Blew us all away, and especially the boys.

Wendy, we are back in Texas (Houston area). Almost all of our family is here in Texas, mostly within 30 minutes drive-time, some a bit further away. Only my dad lives out of state (Colorado), and one of my husband's aunts (Missouri). It is so nice to be near family again -- my grandparents are only 10 mins. from where we are now!

I posted a photo of the wall hanging somewhere around here...I'll find it and upload to this thread. I had posted I think asking for info on how to do a hanging sleeve; I *think* I showed the photo, but not sure....

Merry Christmas everyone!
Heather that was such a nice surprise for you all. I bet the kids really enjoyed seeing the tree all decorated there. Welcome home!

Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year to all the TQS family and friends

to all of us merry christmas and happy new year!!!

Where are you now Heather?

You make me cry thinking of your wall hanging and your grandma's reaction. That is so good.

Happy holidays and happy wishes for the next stage in your life

Merry Christmas everyone. Welcome back to the USA, Heather. Great story re your Grandmother's wall hanging. Love to see a picture.

Merry Christmas to you, as well! We are having our first Christmas back in the US as residents instead of visitors, and it's quite nice! My mother in law & sister in law surprised us on our arrival with a tree set up & decorated in our temporary home -- such a wonderful treat! And I put the hanging sleeve on the wall hanging for my grandma & delivered it to her yesterday --- she cried! She absolutely loves it, so does my grandpa, and she took down the artwork she had hanging over her sofa and hung the wall hanging instead! Made my Christmas!!

I need to find the calendar where I jotted down mug rug swappers for January so I can start on that....

Hope all have a wonderful holiday!

(and I see I need to go update my signature and such, as we are not in Brasil any longer! oops!)

Merry Christmas to you too, Margarita, and to your family--may you enjoy this time with those you love! Happy holidays to all!

Wishing every one a very Merry Christmas. Hoping everyone has a good day. Everyone in the way of storms, rain, snow and ice please take care of yourself and your families.
