[theknittycat]

December's ami-along themes are:
Dessert and/or Christmas




Free Christmas Tree . ........ . Free Santa



This website has some really spectacular designs!
Browse around and enjoy! :o)

Our apologies that this month's ami-along announcement is quite late. Crafty_Shanna and Snuffykin are very busy elsewhere and I am still in exile from our home (while the roofers are taking their time and hopefully doing a spectacular job on ripping off our, and the neighboring houses, roofs). I'm slipping this post in while taking a little break from getting Christmas gifts ordered over our shakey hotel internet connection. Please forgive the briefness! Well, relative briefness... I am a bit link obsessed. ;o)

Wishing you all the very best
during this holiday season, and always! :o)
