a cute little penguin

Debbie, a friend I met at Silver Bella and again this weekend at Charlotte's, made Alfredo this adorable little penguin. I thought it would be fun to have a little movie of him playing with it so you can see how much he loves it. Thank you Debbie. It's wonderful.
I'm a little late getting these out...this is a peek at the Valentine matchboxes for Heather's swap.

Valentine's is favorite holiday, second only to my birthday. Alfredo and I are going to be making some Valentines this week. Do you want to be on our list?

I never really thought about Valentine's Day until Loopy was born one week before. Now, it is one of my favourite times of the year.

PSssst... we would love to be on your list of sweetheart friends.

Amy,
Really, really, really cute matchboxes! The things inside look so tummy...such wonderful colors and cute details. I just got mine out, too, so you have company!
I think these swaps have helped me fall in love with the holidays all over again. I felt just like a fourth grader making my little boxes!

You did a super job with your project this morning in Teresa's e-zine. Gosh, I love it. I actually went out and bought embroidery thread and all kinds of pretty things to do embroidery. I remember loving it as a child and teen. I wasn't GREAT but it is such a calming activity and gave me a lot of pleasure.

Can't imagine anything sweeter than a valentine from you and Alfredo...

Hugs,
Suz

PS: I would love a valentine from Alfredo-- even if it's a virtual one!

Lynne said...

Valentines are so much fun! How 'bout a swap? How fun would it be for Alfredo to get Valentines from near and far?
hugs to you both!
