Wednesday, November 5

giveaway winner is Myra!

I was helping a student, ("hi" Christine), piece a Christmas tree skirt in an evening class.
She's reading the directions out loud and says, "...smash it with the iron." 
WHAT?
She asks me, "So.....do I just smash it with the iron?"
I thought she was kidding - she was NOT!
Read #25 - I'm watching the video right now.....
Jackie Robinson really does say SMASH! 
And she SMASHES it!!!!
(it actually made me jump)
All these years I've been using the word, "press".
I must be outdated!
 
 
 
Whew - Now for the giveaway....
I purchased this lovely Christmas Table Runner kit recently.
I know I won't get around to piecing it.
Would you like to have it?
It has very pretty batiks - everything you need is included; the pattern, top, backing and binding!

 
All you have to do is respond with an answer to this question:
What type of Christmas music do you listen to?
I'll pick a winner within the week!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
 
CONGRATULATIONS to Myra!
She won the giveaway Christmas table runner kit.
Thank you all for playing along - it was so fun reading your comments about Christmas music.
Here is what Myra said:
 
SMASH IT, girl! LOL! I like traditional hymn Christmas music and also Celtic Thunder's version of Christmas songs
 
I will email  you, Myra, so I can get your mailing address.  Thanks!

    I like the traditional carols, especially when they are sung by 'oldies' like rat pack singers. I know. I am old. Thanks for the chance.

    I have never heard anyone say "smash" in reference to the iron.

    I like to listen to the classic Christmas carols.

    I love contemporary Christian Christmas music, versions of traditional carols and classics like Let it Snow and White Christmas. Also Celtic Christmas and Mountain Christmas tunes featuring dulcimer notes. I love all but the silly songs.

    So funny about the smashing! I am a child of the 60s and love all the old traditionals, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, etc, but I love a lot of the country songs too.

    My favorite Christmas music is the CD's from all of the stars. I don't like the ones where they put their own spin on it but they sing the traditional version. Of course, who doesn't like Bing Crosby's White Christmas?!

    Every year I listen to instrumental Christmas music. It is so relaxing for me as I go about my work getting everything ready for our family get-together on Christmas Eve. I love it!!

    I love traditional Christmas songs that have been redone by country artists. I also feel in love with the TSO two years ago when we were at Walt Disney World in November. They had an street type area of Disney's Hollywood Studio that was decorated for he holidays and the lights flashed to the music of TSO and it snowed! Only Disney could create that magic!!!

    At our house we love to listen to ALL kinds of Christmas music! If my husband and daughter had their way we would start playing it in August! (The house rule is that they can start after Halloween.)

    I enjoy the old traditional Christmas songs....Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra etc. Laughed at the "smash" termninology. I've never heard or seen that either.

    I love the oldies, Sinatra, Johhny Mathis, Dean Martin, that old group. I have an old tape from years ago I wish I could change to cd.

    Traditional carols and hymns are my favorite Christmas music, but I like a lot of the newer stuff too. There is very little Christmas music I don't like, Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer being the exception. I hate that song!

    The James Galway Christmas Cd is so great. One of our favorites that never gets old. And it's always great to hear Bing with "White Christmas." Hope your Holidays are shaping up to be great!

    I listen to a wide variety from the traditional to Trans Siberian Orchestra. I find Bing can make me get misty eyed but I love love love any version of "Carol of the Bells" and "All I Want for Christmas (is you)" puts me in such a good mood.

    I adore that reindeer fabric in the kit. My Christmas decorations consist of 80% reindeer items. They are just wonderful.
