Every year about late October or Early November my three sisters and I go on a weekend shopping trip. It is our time together , to talk and just have a good time while doing some Christmas shopping. This year I was watching them look at these picture frames that they really liked but did not feel they could afford the price right now. After they went on I went back and looked them over. On the way home we stopped a passerby in the parking lot and asked her if she would take our picture together and gave her my camera. I went to the craft store when we got back and bought the stones in assorted colors and three wooden frames. I engraved "sister" at the top and put the stones all around it like the ones they were looking at , then I put our picture in and now I have a little surprise gift for each of them at Christmas. Keep you eyes and ears open all the time...never know when you might pick up a nice idea.

Anyone making Christmas baskets this year? There were a couple for prizes at my bible study yesterday and they were so pretty!!!! You can fill them with all sorts of things like candles, cute mugs, cocoa mixes, jar mixes, books, anything fleecy, etc!

hugs,train
