Hi Diane, Happy New Year to you.  I sent you an email with photos of the children hanging on to their stockings, "Ho Ho Ho" and "Santa Poinsettia Tree".  They LOVE them and so do we, they're fabulous.  Thank you so much for lovely work, we will indeed treasure those stockings for many years to come.  All the very best from New Zealand.

Very best regards, Tine - Auckland, NZ

I just wanted you to know that we got your stocking and how much we love it.  I just can't get over how beautiful and how much detail there is.  Thank you so much for sending Zander  "Candy Express".

Today was a perfect day and the stocking you made created a precious gift.  I have just finished hanging "Santa and Snowman with Gifts" on the mantle and it stands out among all the rest.  You are so grand to have gotten it to me before Thanksgiving.  I look forward to lots more creative times with you.  May your holiday season be as special to you and all your family as this adorable stocking is in our home.  God Bless you and Thank you so much.

I just got back from a 15 day trip and opened the package that my son had picked up at the post office for me.  "Candy Express" is just unbelievable!  Thank you so much for a job well done.  My grandson, Deacon, is getting ready for his first Christmas and I hope he will treasure the stocking for many years to come.  Thanks again.

Hi Diane~~Just received my "Procession" stocking!  It's absolutely breathtaking!!!  I love it and will be so proud to hang it up this Christmas!  Thank you for all of your hard work!

Diane, I received "Tree Shopping" and it is absolutely perfect, the beading, the stitching; it's truly a work of art.  I cannot begin to thank you enough.  My niece will be 1 on January 2nd so I know she won't quite understand the meaning of the stocking yet, but I just know she will have nothing but joy from this very special gift as she grows up.  My sister's and I have similar stockings that we just adore and I know Abigail will feel the same way.  Thank you again.

Diane, I received the first stocking today, Saturday, "No Peeking".  You did a wonderful job on it.  My granddaughter will love it.  Thank you so much.  Can't wait to see the others.

Diane, The "Sugar Plum Fairy" arrived yesterday and certainly exceeded my expectations.  It is beautiful and makes me want to be a little girl again.  I hand smock clothes for my grandchildren, so I can appreciate the expert stitching.  It is so well done!!!  Thank you for such a beautiful stocking.  I can't wait until Christmas.

I received "Santa and Elf" today, and just like the other you have done a wonderful job.  I can't wait to see the "Christmas Feast".  You are wonderful.  I do not know how you do it.  I have made ten of these for my family and it took me months.  Of course, that was one a year for several years, not three or four in months.  That is the reason that I decided I would find someone this time to make the others for me.  You do know know how much I appreciate your hard work.  I know what goes into these.  At least I know how much time it took me.  I can not believe how fast you are.  And the quality is so wonderful.  Thank you so much for your hard work.

'Hi Diane, I received "Candy Express" .........it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!   I am very pleased with it.  It is for one of my daughter's best friends whom we refer to as our third daughter.  It is going to be a surprise baby shower gift for her.  I'm sure she is going to LOVE IT.  Thank you again.

Hi Diane, I just received "Christmas Joy" this afternoon.  It is gorgeous! You should be so proud of the work you do.  I know that Kelsey's mommy and (later) Kelsey will just love it.  Thank you so so much!

Hi, one of my fondest memories of childhood is hanging out with my mother when I was  a kid, watching her labor for hours on these handmade stockings that she made for us for Christmas.  They were made with the some type of "kit" that had lots of little felt pieces in it, with all types of yarn, gold thread, sequins and the like.  Even though the items were patterns that had to be cut out, none of the work was done for you, it was all done by hand, and it took a long time to complete each one.  I remember the process very clearly.  It took her what seemed like forever.  These stockings that you make seem so much like those that it is uncanny.  Mine and my sisters's stockings are one of the things that my mother brings out every year at her house that I treasure most.  For my life, my stocking is THE one that I will always remember.  I hope our kids like the "Nutcracker Trio", "Candy Express", and "The Procession" that you made for them.  They are really special!  People don't often take the time to make things like this anymore, it reminds me of a very special time in my life, and I want to thank you for that.  Thanks again!  Merry Christmas.  You are so special in the Lord's Eyes!

Hello Diane,  I received "Santa and Pets" and "Snowman and Lights" and they are beautiful and thank you.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. 

Barbara - Shavano Park, TX

Got my "Snowman and Friends" today and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!  Thank you so much.  It is beautiful and you are so talented.  The detail work is wonderful!  Just out of curiosity, how many hours (days) did it take you to complete the stocking?  I will send you Christmas pictures when we hang our stockings and send you a picture of our new baby beside his or her stocking.  Thank you so much!

Hello Diane, Dailey's stocking arrived today and all I can say is "WOW"!  It is equally as wonderful as the "Sugar Plum Fairy" and I know she will be thrilled when she sees it.  It is obvious you have been very busy and I am not sure I can wait until Christmas to hang these.  I know my four little grandchildren will be thrilled to come see their stockings at their "Bebe's" house.  These will surely be a special heirloom for them.  By the way, I made your French Toast Breakfast Casserole from the site and it was fabulous.  It will surely be a keeper for our family and thanks for sharing the recipe.  Take care and I will anxiously await the arrival of Mary's stocking. 

Regards, Tellene - Waynesboro, GA

Hi Diane, I received "In The Workshop"  today and I LOVE it.  It is beautiful.  I wish I could have done it myself but it would never have gotten done.  Your work is perfect.  I have one similar to that that my aunt made me when I was a baby.  I am so glad my daughter will be able to have one too.  I will definitely contact you if/when I need another stocking.  Thank you so much.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate the time and the effort you put into this.  We will keep it in our family for generations.

Good Morning Diane,  I received "Sports Santa" and it turned out wonderful.  I showed it to my daughter and she just loved it and said that Wane will love it too.  Thank you so much for making the changes to this stocking as it is truly one of a kind.  When our 2nd grandchild comes along I will be sure to have you make a stocking for him or her.  Thank you so much!  Have a very Merry Christmas too.

Hello Diane, "Santa's Sweetshop" arrived and it is just breathtaking.  Mary has not seen it yet but I can assure you that she will be overjoyed.  She is such an appreciative five year old and loves anything that someone does for her.  She will probably want to hang it up now.  We may have to have Christmas in September, even it is still 100 degrees.  Each stocking is so special and I can honestly say, I don't have a favorite.  I do think these will all look great together.  Thank you for being so prompt in getting these done and for such wonderful customer service. 

Tellene - Waynesboro, GA

We received the "Sports Santa" stocking yesterday. It looks great. If we get any more grandchildren or another daughter in law, we will need another stocking.

Thanks,

Dear Diane;

Diane,

Diane,

Yes, thank you I did receive the "Black Bear Bonfire" stocking and it is beautiful. It is finally warm and summerlike here and yet I can't wait until Christmas so that I can hang it for the first time!

Thank you so very much,

Darrah - Bakersville, NC
 

Diane,

We got home last night and had your beautiful "Polar Bear Family" stocking waiting for us. It is perfect and I absolutely love it. Thanks again and I can't wait to see the next one. I'm starting to wish we had a much bigger family so that I could see them all in real life!

Darrah - Bakersville, NC

Hello Diane, we received Owen's "Pop Up Santa" stocking and it is FANTASTIC!  You are amazing!!  And more importantly, you have such a kind heart!  We not only appreciate the work you do on the stockings but the communication and the note you send with the completed stocking; that is more than thoughtful.  We are keeping your note in Owen's stocking so when he is old enough to read and understand, he will know you and the care you put into creating his piece of art.   When do you stop making stockings for the current year?  I am thinking about buying more.  Thanks again, you are very special to us....

Sam - Austin, TX

Diane,

I received "Caroling Snowman" today and it is even cuter than I had hoped it would be. Thank you so much, you are very talented and we will love your stocking for years to come.

All the best,

Update...When I finally got around to putting Celia's stocking away until Christmas and opened our Christmas box, my husband and my stockings seemed so bland so I'm ordering two for us.

Darrah - Bakersville, NC

Hi Diane,

All the stockings are lovely!  The "White Christmas" is truly lovely...one to be used for years, as are all of your stockings. "The Procession" is wonderful!  I am surprised more people haven't ordered it.  It would make a lovely gift!  I do think it is very special.  I love it and know to which child I will hand it down. I will think of you every Dec. when I unwrap all your lovely stockings!!

Thanks so much,

Sally - Imperial Beach, CA

Hi Diane, loved loved the "Gingerbread House" stocking.  I can't thank you enough.  I never realized how much work goes into making a stocking.  I truly hope to be calling on you for next year.  Maybe I will order early and just hold off on a name.  Is that ok?  Thanks again so much.
