I love red...just the good old classic red. Every shade of green looks good with it but I'm especially loving olive and red. I love it so much that I decided to make two seasonal craft stashes...one for me and one for you.
Pretty papers, a finished clipboard, lots of ribbons and fun trim, buttons, tiny vintage ornaments, a scrap of material from a vintage apron, and even some already-chain-stitched lengths of yarn.
Just leave a comment and I'll pick a lucky crafter on Saturday.
In the mean time, I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I read something in a magazine yesterday that said "Keep your fork, there's pie" and it made me laugh. Are there any better words after dinner than "Keep your fork"?
congrats to Kimberly with the following comment:

That is infinitely repeatable and good! I am keeping my fork, for life!
And red and olive? You are right: It is a beautiful combination. I would love play with those colors.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Ooh. This colour combination is fantastic! I was originally thinking to decorate my tree with just white and red (I have a white fake tree) but this red/olive combo is so much better. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hmmm... I think I have the perfect olive fabric waiting to be put with some red...Never thought of olive for Christmas. Thanks!

Olive wouldn't have occurred to me but I love it!!! Love the fork saying. I'm thinking I must incorporated that in my kitchen some where!
