Gingerbread Hugs

 

The challenge this week at Phindy's Place is PAPER PIECING. I am still on a mission to make all my Christmas cards before the end of November and I think this one featuring a little cutie with paper pieced overalls should fit the bill quite nicely. I guess I better get all the completed cards out and take a count so I know how many more I have to do.

I am not sure I should have started this post at lunch time when I am hungry. That gingerbread cookie looks good enough to eat. Pretty soon it will be time for everyone to start their holiday baking. I didn't do any last year and you know we really didn't miss it that much. I do admit though to having the occasional craving for a cookie so perhaps this year I will make one batch of something simple. It definitely won't be our favourite because that would be an invitation to eat too many, too quickly.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
