I didn't think to take pictures because I was so happy with the outcome of my projects. I had to deliver them right away. I used the Cactus Punch Baseball snowman to make placemats for my sporty neighbors for Christmas. They have one son and live for the next baseball game. In the gift bag I included a big bag of peanuts, some boxes of Cracker Jacks some Big League Chew (Bubblegum) and Bottled water in the shape of Baseballs.

For another neighbor I embroidered fire breathing dragons (one with Merlin roasting a marshmallow) on their placemats, in their bag I put in a Beautiful decorative Candle, a bag of marshmallows, a box of Chocolate bars and a box of graham crackers. Who could resist eating those smores. These were new neighbors and I didn't know them well enough to know their hobbies but I know their Family with 2 sons enjoyed it.
So I felt like I was on a roll and just couldn't stop myself. The third neighbor got placemats embroidered with a cowboy hat, rope and Vest because they live for their horses and the next ride. When I met her she had a broken neck from a bad fall from the horse but has since recovered. She still lives for the next ride. You may have guessed already but their placemats were delivered with Trail Mix. It was the best Christmas I ever had. No gifts were returned to the Service Desk this Christmas :o)

How special for you to do something for all your neighbors - but no pictures? We want to see! It would be nice to have a neighbor like you -
