Hello everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I took a lot of time off to spend with my kids and family.  It was great!

My mom and I went yarn shopping on Saturday in Salt Lake City.  I’ll share pics at the bottom if you are interested in my knitting adventures.  lol!

Last week my weekly giveaway was Beautiful You stamp set.

The winner is……

Jean Schultz

Congratulations!!!

This week’s Pink Candy is soooo super amazing!!!  How would you like to win an entire medium Priority Box of my online class leftovers, extra die cuts, embellishments, and a lot of paper??!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week.  Here are some of my favorite pics of the day.  So happy to be with all my 5 children.  We were not all together last Thanksgiving because my oldest was living in Hawaii.

Some of you know that I have a new hobby/crafting obsession.  About 2 months ago I learned how to knit so that I could go with my sister, Christy, on a knitting tour in Ireland.

I started with hats and am now sock addicted!  I LOVE paper crafting and now also LOVE that I have another hobby that I can do while in the passenger seat of a car, sitting on my daughter or sons’ beds waiting for them to fall asleep, or in the living room watching TV with my family.  I encourage all of you to add a new hobby to your collection this new year.

Here is a hat that I finished last week (and made in about a day!) . I knit on Sundays after church.

Isn’t my model the cutest? This is my ALMOST 13 year old, Thomas. Yes, a lot of you have watched him grow up over the years.

Here are the MOST ADORABLE self striping socks that I am working on now (while putting the kids to bed).

I have been asked by some of my viewers who are knitters or who would like to be knitters if I would start a youtube channel just for my knitting.  I have decided that I will be starting up one very soon.  You can click HERE if you would like to be one of my first subscribers.  These are called “podcasts” even though they are videos and I will be doing 1-2 a month to share what I’ve made, what I’ve purchased, and just basic knitting and yarn goodness.  🙂 .

Here are some of the goodies that I got on Black Friday weekend for my knitting hobby.

P.S.  My 12 Days of Christmas starts THIS Friday, December 1st!  I have done this for at least 8 years, and have had great support so I will continue this year, too!

There will be new videos, giveaways, projects and Christmas FUN!!  You will want to check my blog HERE every day during the 12 Days!!
