I've lost my Mojo.....

......and it's so sad, really. I have been in a crafting funk all week. I don't know why, but the creative juices have stopped flowing altogether. That's not a good thing since my plan is to have a home made Christmas this year..... I've tried all the usual pick-me-up's......I've flipped through magazines and looked through all my patterns and pictures, but to no avail. I need a magic pill. Does anyone have any Christmas spirit in a bottle they can give me???? And, BOO HOO, I still haven't recieved my ornament from my swap partner......I am thinking I won't be getting one either as she hasn't returned my emails. Okay. Pity party over. ***************************************************************************** On a much more pleasant note, I received some happy mail. Julie and I recently swapped wall hangings. This is what she sent to me. (Sorry--no pictures were taken of the wrapping because I picked up my mail on the way to pick up Ragan at school. There was NO way I could wait until I got home to unwrap it!!) On the outside of the package, this little guy was taped. How cute is he???? I can't wait to hang him on my tree! Imagine my happiness as I unfolded this beauty! It is so spectacular.....and perfect! I know right where I am going to hang it! This picture doesn't even do it justice!

Julie blanket stitched around EVERYTHING. What a patient woman she must be!

Thank you so much, Julie. And the next time I pass through Utah, I will be sure to give you a call! Thanks for the invitation.
