What's the fuss???

Hello ladies..

I just wanted to thank everyone that is playing along in the Christmas Block swap. 

Thank you.....For joining in on another year of fun for me.

 I love love love these annual Holiday Block Swaps. I was beginning to worry that I might have to drop the Halloween Block Swap. I was having a very difficult time getting the swap filled this year. Then out of the blue.. I received several nice emails asking to join in if I hold the swap next year. Yes they are new comers.. I am so excited that they want to play along with the repeat players... Yeah for ME!! 

As far as the Christmas swap.... I was beginning to worry that the spaces would not fill.....But not to worry you artisans are the Bomb.. I am always amazed at your kindness, creativity and trust. You say why did I put trust down. To join in on a swap like my Holiday block swaps.. It can and does run into a bit of money and not to forget the amount of time spent on  making your projects. It's an honor to be trusted like I am. Thank you!!! 

Ok... I thought I might show some of the cute blocks that we received this year for the 2012 Halloween Block swap :O)
