Swap goodies from The Calico Rabbit!!

First I want to thank all of my dear blogging friends for the awesome words of encouragement and prayers for my sons full recovery! I wish I could just give each of you a big hug. He continues to improve.
I Praise the Lord for this!!!! He could have been killed or the tree limb could have hit my grandson.

  I have been wanting to post pictures of the awesome swap goodies that I received from Keri, http://thecalicorabbit.blogspot.com/     Char  http://charsethman.blogspot.com/   hosted a spring swap, and Keri really spoiled  me. She gave me a Basil rabbit that she made, I saw him on her blog and was really wanting him sooooo bad, but didn't want to ask her. He He I think she knew that I did.
 She sent me a beautiful paddle board that she made, I love the color. A beautiful bird make-do, and Spring time pillow that she made, she does such awesome work. A rabbit cutter, so cute and beautiful kitchen towel.



 Keri sure spoiled me rotten, I love everything so much, Keri was an awesome swap partner, please check out her blog. She has a wonderful blog, with lots of  tutorials. Thanks you Keri, it was so much fun!!!

Please pray for my son Luke

 Sunday eve. my son Luke was swinging in a swing that we had in one of our trees. The limb snapped  falling

 on his head.

 It was at least 12" around and 12 feet long. It knocked him unconscious and cut a big gash in his head.

 We called the squad, when he came too, he was very disoriented and  couldn't see.  The hospital did an

MRI and EKG and he received 12 staples. All tests came back good and he regained his sight and  became

orientated . I am so appreciative and thankful to the Lord for this!!!

Please pray that he doesn't have any complications from this accident and a full recovery.

 He is thirty years old, but he is still my baby. And he is the most wonderful dad, I am so proud of him.
