Santa’s Got A Brand New Bag Craft 6
Santa's Got A Brand New Bag Craft 6. Need a simple and sweet way to present your gifts? How about a fabric bag? The bottom of my tree is surrounded by bags. There are even small bags filled with treats tucked in the midst of the tree branches. Next to the tree is an old German sled topped with larger bags. No two are exactly the same.

Little House on the Prairie The Musical
Little House on the Prairie The Musical finally made a wagon train stop in Tempe, Arizona. Of course, I HAD to go. On the opening night no less. Little House on the Prairie The Musical Melissa Gilbert plays the part of "Ma". There is no doubt about it, the lady can sing! Her song to Laura "Wild Child" made me all misty. Steve Blanchard fills the boots of "Pa" quite well. His voice is like golden honey. The entire cast is truly wonderful! The entire audience laughed and cried ... View the Post
