a Present a Week {till Christmas} Week 16

 Reuben has had an awesome teacher for the last two years. I'm so gonna miss Krystin next year. We wanted to do something special for her. I asked Reuben to draw a picture on a piece of white linen with a lead pencil and I embroidered over it and made this bag for her.

 He picked the fabric. We found out her favourite colour was aqua and we were going to do aqua and pink but somehow the water monster needed a bit of black!

 I think it turned out really good. It was great that Reuben did such a lovely drawing that was so easy to embroider.

Um, it's apparently 8 weeks till Christmas! 8 weeks, no really? surely it's longer. I think I'm going to have to up the ante a bit. I think I'll have to make two presents a week. Oh help me!!! How are you going?? I know Annabel and Holly are doing fantastic, and some others like Kylie are coming along too. Keep up the good work girls {insert cheerleading waves here} you know you can do it!!!

Kylie I'm picking you as my winner this week. Contact me with your address! By  the way it's come to my attention that a bunch of parcels I posted in the beginning of September are just finding their way home. I can't believe it took so long, I suspect the earthquake must have done something to the mail sorting centre. Sorry about that, and please let me know if you are expected a parcel from me and I'll tell you how it's doing! I posted to MaryAnne, Annabel and Peggy yesterday. I still owe Jessica a parcel, I'll get that sorted this week. My life has been a bit mad lately, honestly, but I'm getting on top of the dramas I hope. If you think of us, please pray for a smooth week for us! Thanks so much.
