‘Twas the Night before Christmas….

December 24, 2011 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 18 Comments

 
 
 
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The carols are playing, the presents are wrapped, the food is prepared, and the table is set. We are all eagerly anticipating Christmas tomorrow. After a busy week – we are looking forward to a week at home with family to celebrate another wonderful Christmas.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families, peace, joy and happiness this Christmas. We really appreciate you visiting A Spoonful of Sugar during the year, giving us so much support and leaving such wonderful comments and emails. Thank you for following our sewing, baking, quilting, and crafting journey. We look forward to sharing more with you in 2012 – we have loads of projects, tutorials, and ideas planned.
Hope your Christmas is Merry and Bright and filled, with family, friends, and laughter. Believe in the Magic…
