Gingerbread Bowie

Hello Friends,

     Are you like me, trying to get all the things on your Christmas To-Do list complete?  I'm trying not to stress myself out too much even though I have several unfinished Christmas gifts in my work basket.  I will finish what I can and leave the rest--Christmas will come again next year and whatever I do not finish this year will be under next year's tree.

While on the subject of gifts (and stressing out over gifting) I would very much love to exchange heartfelt holiday cyber greetings with all my blog friends.  However, at the risk of sounding Scroogy, on the slim chance that anyone was planning on sending an actual gift, please don't.  I promise to do the same. 

Ok, how about a Christmas table runner.
Cute huh!  When I made this, I was disapointed that I only had 3 blue buttons to use for eyes.  Daughter Lucky came up with the idea to have one Gingerbread man with one blue and one brown eye--like David Bowie--making him a Gingerbread Bowie.
Hopefully, I'm not the only one who thought this was brilliant.
