I know I know…do we really need sweets?…Um yes…We left one day open in our line up of 12 days in case something came up that we wanted to promote…well…nothing did …so we thought we would help another little business and sell what we think is a great must have can’t live life without item…
In our Subscription Wooly Boxes we always include two of these big caramels that are made by a local candy maker…Some of the box subscribers have stated they want to be able to buy more…cause two really aren’t enough…so…here they are..they are .45 cents each or 1lb for $10 approx 25 caramels...Order Caramels HERE.
Yesterday… It was sleep over at MiMi’s house…Jace came to trim the tree…and help me make candy…He wears his little elf hat and slippers that Sharon made him so proudly!
Only a little chocolate on the face and shirt…
It’s bath time ALWAYS here and Mimi found some new glow thing-ies for the bath… (Thanks Kristi, he loved them..now for more colors!!)
I hope you are enjoying getting ready for your Holiday(s)…I am baking cookies today with my Sister…we are making one of her Mom’s recipes…I’ll let you know how that goes…
So to make today easy…enter a name in the comment section of a person who is special to you…you just have to enter the name unless you want to give an explanation why…
I will be giving away a secret something (plus the caramels) I have from market for this post Jan 1st!
Have a sweet Sunday!!! LB

My son A.J. (Arthur Giles Potter IV) he is my heart and soul. We were married 1 month shy of 12 years when my favorite person in the world was born. When he was 6 yrs. old he gave me a reason to fight breast cancer and all it’s horrible lasting effects and setbacks. He’s now 20 in his 3rd yr. of college with a major in mechanical engineering. I’m so proud of him and the generous, caring, hardworking person he’s become.
Always think of my Grandma and her “Linzer” cookies this time of year. ❤️
Susy Baroch
My sister Carolyn, she always there to mske me laugh.
Making cookies with little ones is special, as is making them with a special sister. My young freshly graduated granddaughter left a couple of weeks ago to work at Powder King, a ski resort on the other side of our country in BC. It is heart wrenching, but everyone of us applaud her trying out her wings, and wish her the very best experience. This will be the first Christmas we will not see her open her gifts and enjoy her stocking from Santa. Love her forever
My son Philip.
Rod, my rock,my other half!
Hi Lisa,
Very nice of you to share your family with us. I love the tree skirt. Do you have it in a kit
Phyllis…I do have it in a kit for a smaller tree like 18” the pattern is in Christmas Gathering book..I enlarged it…the kit for wool tree skirts are expensive so that is why I do not have one…but if you want to enlarge the pattern and order about 2 yds of wool you can!
Debi, my dear friend who recently passed away from cancer. She is with Jesus for Christmas this year and now is my guardian angel.
My sweet sister, Valerie! She’s 19 years older than me and we are as close as 2 sisters could possibly be!

My mom, my role model and my quilting buddy. Now the roles are reversed. My siblings and I are her caregivers, trying to provide for her the love and support and security that she gave all of us for most of her life.
Sheryl F. She is my dad’s cousin but has been a great friend to me, especially in the last 4 weeks. Always available to talk and pray. Life has been very stressful due to recent rotator cuff surgery and the sudden death of the mom of my 16 and 17 yr old stepkids. Sheryl has been there for me.
Ann
Reva – she inspires me, she supports my wacky ideas, we laugh until it hurts. A true friend and confidant
Wow. Thanks Lisa. My husband and I actually visited Menasha in September to visit Primitive Gatherings and to buy some caramels. We brought back 2 lbs for a friend and 2 lbs for us. Still have some. My husband and I share the caramel from the wool box each time. Will there be candy in the Christmas box too? Am hoping it arrives before Christmas, feel like a kid again waiting for Santa. Thanks for making Christmas so special this year.
Just got your book “Wool, Needle and Thread” yesterday from a local quilt shop 12 days of Christmas promotion. Absolutely love it. Will be using it as a resource for sure.
Merry Christmas and a very happy new year.

Thank you so much for making this possible Lisa. Hope to see you again in a class soon.
My sweet is my husband Ron. He is so sweet to put up with my many many hours of stitching wool addiction.I would share the caramels with him if I could.
Merry Christmas!

This is not easy! There are so many people in my life who are special to me, including the obvious choice of my husband, who I’m not going to name. My choice of all of them today, is my Uncle- Beryl Carney. I hope he knows how much he’s loved!
Thanks for asking this question- it made me stop and think about all of the wonderful people in my life at a time of year I often think of those that are no longer a part of it
Laurie McKenna
Jodi my daughter. Alway there to help others. So proud of her

Lisa Bongeon, you are special to me. You are an inspiration and mentor from afar to so many. Although we don’t get together in person, you share so much with me without even knowing it! Question: is there a pattern/kit for the tree skirt under your Christmas tree? I have a an all angel tree that it would be perfect under. Wish I could share a picture of it. I put it up this year after 14 years of storage. Lots of ornaments given and made by my daughters when they were young is what makes it extra special. Thank you
My daughter Amber is extra special to me!

My daughter Jessica.
My husband, Dean. He’s the best!

Your photos of your house decorated are so beautiful! It must be so special for you to be able to say, “making cookies with my sister”. What a special treat after all these years for you to have a sister. Sisters are the best! I have been blessed with so many special people in my life/family but will name my sister CAROL as my special person in this note. Merry Christmas to you Lisa.
My husband, Bob…who doesn’t complain about the “bundles” I receive throughout the year ;o)
I am very fortunate to have many dearly loved people in my life but by far my hubby is the most special person in my life.

My maternal grandmother holds a very special place in my heart. I would visit my grandparents on their farm every summer and spent m as by hours with grandma in her kitchen, garden and at her sewing machine. Although she passed away while I was in college, she would see those lessons I learned by watching her were put to use. She was a quilter, too, and I would like to think she would be proud that I am a quilter too and have used the lessons I learned by watching her.

My sweet daughter, Cherie.
Leah and Benjamin are special to me! I adopted them as infants. I couldn’t ask for anything better than these two. They are now 10 and 7 and fill my days with activity – baking cookies, playing games, sports, and so on. Adoption – such a blessing.
my Mom… always there for me!
Ronnie, my supportive husband.❤️
My mom!!! She’s 92 years old and hanging on with fairly good health and she loves sweets, in moderation, of course.
