YAY ME!!! The crowd goes wild! I can cross another WISP off my "To Do" list and add it to my sidebar list! This project was SUPPOSED to be a birthday gift for my friend Miss Mary half way through last year. Well ... it didn't get finished, so Miss Mary received a different giftie for her birthday!! Then ... it was supposed to be ready for me to give it to her for Christmas. Yes ... well ...!!! Life interfered and she went away early for a holiday ... project still didn't get finished! But this week, I got stuck in and the result is ...
The wording says: "A Friend's gate is never locked!" A sentiment that I just love! I was VERY pleased to be able to cross this WISP off my list, as I've been feeling rather guilty about it for some time. Of course, Miss Mary is now away for a few weeks, so I still can't GIVE it to her!!! Ah well, when she gets home again we'll have a good reason to catch up for a cuppa!!
And speaking of catching up with cuppas ... why not make yourself a cuppa and take a wander through some of the blogs of May Britt's and my One Project a Month challenge, because I'm starting to get lots of emails from people finishing projects! May Britt and I are also both popping into as many participating blogs as we can (without chaining ourselves to the computer!!) and it's so exciting to see what your clever crafters are creating and heart warming to get feed back from you all about how you've appreciated the little 'nudge' to finish some WISP's! Thank you for all your lovely comments and encouragement - to May Britt and I, and also to each other! I love that we all have such a HUGE cheer squad cheering us on, with members all around the world!!
Oh! Before I forget ... Clare is having a give away to celebrate 50 posts (very pink give away!!), Julia is celebrating her blogiversary with a give away, Lilly Linda is having a give away, Jo Jo is celebrating with a give away (oops! Was supposed to post photos of my rotary cutter and mat, my sewing lamp and my imagination! Visit her to find out why!!) .... oh there are just wonderful give aways EVERYWHERE!! Enjoy exploring and you may find even more!!
And now ... I'm off to choose my next WISP to work on - who knows, I may even get THREE finishes for January! Tee! Hee! Hee! Til next time - Bear Hugs!
CHEERS!

I have been working very hard on my Butterfly garden and have managed to get the center finished ( just two borders to add ) so it has kept me distracted from making other finishes. I hope i can at least have one true finish for January.
But you have done very well to finish a lovely little wall hanging.
i have finished my third!! and about to post about it too %*_*%
love that saying by the way
Leading by Example - Good Girl!

Congrats on finising #3! You're setting a very good example for all that are following along;)

Good Girl Kris - I bet your friend will think the wait was well worth while!
I started a diary at the begining of the year, I planned to write a few things in everyday I wanted to get done, then cross them off as I went, carry the ones I didn't do to the next day.....I only did it for two days!!
Way to go, your second finish this month, right? So, how many people are signed up for the 1PAM now? You should put a little number next to the title in your side bar. I'm amazed how many people there are now. Time for me to get busy on mine!
Isn't it just great how many people get so many projects finished! I love the saying on your stitchery!
Kris, Love your blog, you are inspiring me to go check out my WISP pile and whittle it down so it can be posted to my Monthly Challenge !
Thanks for the great blog,
Beth
