Secret Santa Swap questions

I'm participating in the Secret Santa Swap over at the Flirty Apron Swap and we all have to answer some questions for our Secret Santa. Here are my responses:

What are your hobbies? Knitting, sewing, embroidery, stamping and cooking.

What are your favorite colors? I love bright, fun colors. Think Mexican art. Our living room, dining room and kitchen are being decorated in the modern Mexican theme.

Do you collect anything? I collect Peeps. Not just the sugary ones, but stuffed ones, too. Anything with a Peep on it. Chicks or bunnies.

Are you allergic to any fibers or animals? No, but I've never touched an aardvark so I'm not sure I'm not allergic to them.

Do you have any pets? We have four cats: 3 orange tabbies and a Bengal.

Coffee, Tea, or Chocolate? I have to choose? Coffee, definitely, but chocolate is a close second.

What do you like to read? I love a good murder mystery. My favorite authors are Dean Koontz and John Grisham. I've recently gotten into knitting mysteries.

Do you prefer Cookies or Candies as a sweet? Cookies. Definitely cookies.

What is your favorite holiday treat? I love anything pumpkin. Or peppermint.

Describe your favorite holiday tradition. We don't really have any traditions.

Did you believe in Santa as a child? Yes. Love Santa.

When do you open presents? Usually on Christmas Eve, then we can go visit friends and family on the 25th.

Do you put up a tree and when? If not, how do you celebrate? I try to put the tree up right after Thanksgiving.

Does your tree have a theme? Yes, and it changes from year to year. My favorite one is fantasy. I covered the tree in fairies and lots of sparkling things. It's all about the sparkle!!

What has been your favorite gift to give? to receive? I love giving things I've made. I also love handmade items from others. Knowing someone spent time making something with me in mind just makes my heart sing.

My new table runner

Here's the table runner I got from my swap partner, Sharon. Isn't it pretty? I love it on my dining room table.
