If it isn't bad enough that back to school sale commercials are already airing on TV (school only just got out this past week!), here I am thinking of Christmas already :-) I just saw today that Verona has received the ornament exchange that I sent to her for the Christmas In July Exchange - I only posted it off on Monday, and it already reached the Netherlands safely. Pretty amazing. When it was time to select something to stitch for Verona, I could not resist trying out one of the ornaments in the new JCS Christmas Ornament Preview Issue...

Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament Preview Issue, August 2008
I am blogging early again today, this time from my lunch break at work... want to join me in a Caribbean Chicken Salad? ... I figure on stitching away on gifts again tonight (I have to!).
A client showed me this yesterday - I thought it was just too funny, and it is only 39 seconds long, so please give this a peek:
... This is one high energy young lady who must have some sort of experience with gymnastics!! LOL
Stitched on today:

I've been thinking about Christmas ornaments too, and your Blue Ribbon ornie is definitely an inspiration!! Beautiful!!
I am going to HAVE to learn how to finish ornies! That's gorgeous!
That video was hilarious! I called my brother in excitement.. only to find out that it's apparently fake. It was a viral video for a Gatorade contest and aired as a commercial. He spoiled my fun but it's no less hysterical. I love it!
Ohhh I have that magazine too! I think that finishing is so pretty... Is that really easy to finish as it looks? And such an impressive look! Great job, Carol! Well done! =)
