Let me just start by saying that you girls are just too creative for me. Exhibit A:
I just can't think of stuff like that. I sure hope Nancy isn't expecting anything like that because the creativity train stops here.
The letter "C" is for Christmas Music. A girl after my own heart. Love some Christmas CDs. Can't wait to pop this baby in the CD player and get lost in my "hope no one is watching" dramatic car singing.
The letter "H" is for Holiday cookies, which I just baked yesterday. Not to worry. I'm sure there will be a couple more batches before the season is over.
"R" is for relationships old and new. What a nice thing to say. This is their Christmas card (I assume). I could tell by her website that there could be a special bond between us. Nothing says potential friend like a baby in a smocked dress.
"I" is for this neat little book. It is filled with Ingenius craft projects. Do they have one of these for just adults. I seem to be having some challenges in the craft department these days.
The letter "S" (my personal favorite) is for sparkling. What girl doesn't love a little bling, bling? :) This is so perfect. Love it! And the best part...it will go with anything!
And last but not least the letter "T" for tradition. We have read this book and the interesting part about the book is that it coincides with a family tradition we have at our house of a Jesse Tree. I actually have a post started about this, but haven't gotten all my pictures ready yet, so I'll post about that later.
I just had to conclude with this little picture:
In case you can't read that it says "Sorry for the ugly box...tried to recycle".Merritt, you are too funny! I didn't even notice the box because I was too excited about what was inside. You did a fabulous job and I am so thankful for all the wonderful items you put together. Hope you enjoy this Christmas season with your family.
Also, a big thanks to Donna for putting all of this together. I've had a blast. Merry Christmas to all!

Hi
You were so sweet to comment on my blog. It is funny how you can get drawn into blogs from friends. I am on Facebook...Kelly Richardson Weekes. Love to chat.
Off to bed too late after spending the night decorating my blog! How ridiculous!

Cute stuff!! And thanks for the comment on my blog...good to know we are not fighting the "potty thing" alone, huh?
Great gifts, Merritt! Loved the creative touch too!!
CHRIST--way cool! Good Job Merritt, very creative!
What a great gift...isn't this fun?!?
Have a great week!
Wow! I love the creative touch of "Christ"...very very nice!
Neat idea gifting with CHRIST in mind. Sadly we don't think of Him all the time when we are gifting. We lose our focus. Way to bring it back. Also, Casting Crowns is fantastic. I haven't got their new CD yet, is it any good? Silly question...great job!
