Happy New Year 2012!! I hope everyone had a great and safe holiday. Just a quick story about this card. For Christmas my sweet husband surprised me with a computerized sewing machine. I had my eye on this sewing machine since early September. What a surprise. Hubby and I never exchange gifts for Christmas. Everyday is Christmas and we are very blessed. Anyway this is my first card I did sewing on. Still on training wheels. It is very addicting to say the least. Ok don’t laugh. My mom is a seamstress what happened to me. LOL. She taught me how to sew when I was small. I have to tell you I was board but, I am glad she showed me. It made my sewing journey a little bit easier. Thanks mom. Now I know hubby is thinking. I am going to make him some golf covers for his clubs. LOL.
