G’day all. Well I don’t know about where you are, but where I am it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas… the queues at the Post Office are miles long even before the doors have opened!! LOL I have another big mail out to do before the end of the week and then I think I will be done til after Christmas…. except for checking the mail.
Down to business though…
As Christmas comes around Aussie Heroes quietens down… just a little. I need to take advantage of that because I don’t really get a break through the rest of the year. I am the one who answers the emails and Facebook messages. I write most of the blog posts except for the Happy Mail that Caroline writes with help from Helen C collecting the mail and sorting the photos. During December and the beginning of January I reduce the number of blog posts to three a week. This week there will be four, no post on Thursday, but next week I will only be posting on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday … unless something special comes up and with Christmas and New Year coming… you just never know.
If you think I am going to be bored without the blog to write every night you will be wrong. This is the time of the year that my sewing machine gets a solid work out… I get more sewing done in December and January than the rest of the year, or at least it feels that way… and I have a bunch of quilts and laundry bags on my list that I am just dying to get into!
I will still be answering emails and managing the requests so if you want to request a quilt or bag or you want to sew some just let me know….
So now to Christmas…. does anyone need another gift suggestion? I have one for you… I am partway through reading this book and I have to say I am really enjoying it.
“The Promise” by Jamie Zimmerman.
I was drawn to it because it is a tale of friendship, about a mate keeping a promise to another mate. If you have ever wondered about the bond that forms between brothers in arms this is the book for you to read. I think it will increase your understanding about service and the associated sacrifices that involves. I don’t think you will regret buying it. I am enjoying is so much that I thought I should share it.
Til next time………………..keep spreading the word and happy stitching!
