FYI: tomorrow is September 9, 2009...09/09/09 what a great birthday that would be. Well, I just read that not only does the date look good, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101). Hmm, I wonder where I will be then? :)
I shall leave you with this "Wishing Custom"...
If you slice an apple into equal halves without cutting or nicking a seed, your wish for love will come true.
Until next time...

Beautiful ornament, Marie! My baby could be born tomorrow, but that would make him exactly 8 weeks early, which wouldn't be good. :p
Those note cards are beautiful! And so are your ornaments. I really love the way you did the finishing on the one you sent, especially the yarn around the edge! I have one of those name ones to do too, for my MIL. Maybe we need a SAL?
Oh how lovely my dear Marie...I know that Amy is over the moon with her ornament, and Carol did a lovely job on yours :)
Michelle, is the sweetest and those note cards are precious! I'm using the word "precious" a lot because my 4 yo nephew and Ellie (on a recent visit down to Mom's house) used the word precious for everything. My Mom was riding her bike and Braden said to Ellie..."look Meme looks precious riding her bike." to which my Mom nearly fell off her bike laughing and I had to run to the bathroom! LOL!
I love the Joy ornament you stitched! You're a fast stitcher, you'll get your son's ornaments stitched before Christmas without any trouble!
Oh and Carol's ornament to you is beautiful!
Gorgeous ornaments and exchanges! I love those M Designs too, I have Colorado to finish.
Wow! What gorgeous ornaments sent and received!
Hi Marie,
The notecards are just a small token of my thanks for the treasure I received..
I love the ornaments in your swap. I'm doing a name tree ornament right now and it's more difficult than I thought. No miscounting on this one!
I like that wish about the apple .. I will be checking my seeds today when I have my apple :)
Michelle
