Blog Hop Day 10

It's day 10 of the Cross Country Quilt Designers Blog Hop. - Into double digits already.

The featured designer today is Carrie Nelson from Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. I don't know what she has designed but all of her designs are great and I am sure it will be nothing short of great. Find her project here.

Today's topic: Favorite gift from a child.

Hmmm it is hard to pick just one.
It seemed that almost every year the kids would make some sort of a Christmas decoration at school. I loved to see the excitement in their faces as they rummaged through their backpack to find that special something. Sometimes it was a bit crumpled, but that just added to the charm of it.

Here are just a few of them.
These were the first two ornaments given to me.

Anthony was in preschool so that makes this ornament about 27 years old.

This is Abby's preschool ornament.
The cutest part does not show.
She "signed" her name on the back.

I think Abby made this Origami Santa.

This cute little guy was made by Abby.
It was not made in school.
She made this one day while we were crafting side by side.
I love his face.

An angel from our little angel.

One year all of the classes in school made spool ornaments.
Abby put a big smile on hers.

Anthony chose to leave his plain.

This all natural one was made by Anthony.

I love all of these ornaments - and also the many that I did not picture.

Every year I hang them on the tree - front and center.
