brynn's quilt

i hope everyone had a magical Christmas!

this year was pretty simple.

my favorite gift was a quilt that i was able to help give to the Barton's. 

trae and his mom asked me to get some of her old clothes so they could make a quilt for the family to have when they missed her. (they asked me to do this right after the funeral so since we are a little slow it took a while!). em and erin had to great idea to give her all of brynns old Christmas pj's. her mom loves Christmas and the family always does really fun and crazy activities to celebrate every year. 

we even put some of her old perfume on it!

 deb recognised all the pj's right away and was speechless. she loved it sooo much! 

the sadlers are amazing and gave the bartons one of the best gifts this year. i know its something they will always cherish! 

merry Christmas and a happy new year!

i decided to make all my friends gift this year for christmas. i love home made gifts.

it helps to show how much you care and its fun to try and figure out how to make it just perfect for them.

i really hope they like them!
