Hi my friends. - Yes I know I have been gone forever. My old PC wanted to retire - and my hubby had a new pc for me just around the corner. So here I am, back in business with my new pc. :)
Thanksgiving is celebrated this weekend in US. We don't have thanksgiving here....but never the less, we have loads of things to be thankful for. So: I really, really want to say THANK YOU to all my blogfriends!! I so appreciate your kind komments, e-mails and sweet words. :) :) I know I'm no good at commenting and leaving love on your blogs - yes, I really want to do better....
Anyhow: decided I wanted to give you, my blogreaders a little gift. A tiny, tiny mini-class. :) :)
I made myself a little before-christmas-doorhanging the other day. Had really fun making it. So, here is how I made it:
