November Challenge



November: your choice - any medium.

It must be be Christmassy.

Well we are into the last month of the challenge and Christmas is fast approaching. I hope you have had a great time doing this challenge, it has certainly been a wonderful time for me...meeting new people from out there in blog land. it has been a challenge for me also with some of the things I set down to do.
there is a surprise at the end of this challenge...when the draw has been done so keep an eye out.
 
I recently went to Gatton with Hubby for the "Christmas in the Country fair". and I must say it certainly is looking a lot like Christmas, even if it is hot here in Australia.
 
I was so inspired by all of the challenge entries I have had and the Christmas fair that I decided that I was going to make ALL of the Christmas presents this year. I must say I have had a head start with all the challenge Items I have made.
 
well Ill health prevented me from drawing the challenge on time for October but here's hoping that won't happen again.
 
I would love some feedback on your thoughts of the challenge over all...I would love to do it again next year but am not too sure, so here is your opportunity to have some input...what worked and what did not??
email me privately and I can respond to you...
 
well happy stitching, catch you soon

October Challenge Entry

I have another entry for the October leg of the challenge...the very lovely Lois has posted her entry.
and what a cute little Christmas bear all dressed up and ready for Christmas...


Have you noticed how the Christmas stuff is creeping into the stores...I drove past some of our local landmarks last week and saw that the council had the big rigs out putting on the massive Christmas decorations to the giant trees we have around the city. they do look pretty when they are all lit up.
I love Christmas...not for the silly thing that it tends to become because of commercialism...but because it reminds us of the true reason for the season, the birth of our saviour.
I love to celebrate and that is what it is all about the celebration of the birth of Christ...after all we can't Christmas without Christ...
come on ladies get those entries in...not long now.
big hugs

Amanda
