Wonderful Swap Goodies

 I participated in Amy "Bumble Bee Lane"    Christmas Gingerbread swap.

I felt like a little girl on Christmas morning opening my wonderful box of goodies from

Amy.  Amy certainly spoiled me. I should have posted sooner but my daughter

is type 1 diabetic and was in CCU this week with diabetic ketoasidosis, a very serious condition.

She got home today and is still very weak. I am so thankful that the Lord spared her life.

I am emotionally drained but so happy and so thankful that Stephanie is home!!!!

   I want to show you the wonderful goodies that Amy sent me, and she had everything wrapped

so beautifully.  I didn't know that Amy could sew, she made the wonderful bunny, the Santa ornie,

and the gingerbread man. She does awesome work. She also made the gingerbread bowl filler

ornies.  When I was looking at my treasures I saw where she had gotten me a penny rug purse,

that was designed by Karen "My Colonial Home"  . It is beautiful.!!! Karen makes such beautiful penny

rugs and designs penny rug patterns.  



soap, it smells so yummy!!! Bunny, and ginger ornies Amy made. The penny rug purse designed by Karen.
Thank you soooo much Amy, you sure spoiled me, I love everything!!!!Thank you for hosting such a wonderful swap!!! If you don't know Amy stop by her blog it is wonderful!!!! Amy is a lovely person,blogger friends are the best!!!

Some Christmas Decorating

I just can't believe that today is already December 1st. we are on the countdown to Christmas now.

I will share a few photo's of some of my Christmas decorating.  I love Christmas, the celebration of

Christ's birth, the decor, the lights, the music, the hustle and bustle, baking cookies, the Christmas Carols,

the ringing of the Salvation Army bells, the Christmas plays at church, the sparkle in my grandbabies eyes,

the goodness in peoples hearts to help the less fortunate, just so many wonderful things! Wishing you all a

very wonderful Christmas Season!!!

So much to be thankful for!

Yesterday I went to my sisters for Thanksgiving, her and my BIL always make you feel so welcome.

They have such a beautiful home with some acreage and goats and chickens. I have so much to be thankful

 for. I am still blessed to have my parents and sisters. I have 2 wonderful children and 3 beautiful

grandchildren.I am thankful for my husband. And several wonderful nieces and nephews. I have a warm

home, two wonderful jobs,

plenty of food to eat, good health, and freedom to worship, and many wonderful friends, many

are blogging friends.

 I will post a few pictures of our Thanksgiving. Everyone was present except my one BIL that had

to work and my husband, who is on vacation hunting .And my deceased brother,

I think of him especially on holidays.  My family can't all get together on Christmas,

so we give the children who are still in school small christmas gifts on Thanksgiving. My one

little grandson Jake was so excited opening his gifts that he looked at me and said, "Maw it is Christmas"!

What an awesome fun day that I cherish and am thankful for! Family is very important to me.

Are you thinking about Christmas??

  Wow, can you believe how fast this year is going. Thanksgiving is next week already. I love Thanksgiving

that is kinda like my families Christmas, since we all can't get together at Christmas, so I am getting excited.

  Last weekend my husband and I kept our grandchildren Cole and Riley we had so much fun

with them. We played games and  they made me Christmas lists.  My other little grandson Jake

came a couple days later and saw their lists hanging on the refridgerator. He wanted to make one too,

well every page of the toy catalog was cut up practically so I had to get another toy book for him.

 So when he comes here again we will make his list. My son also brought him

to our house trick or treating last week, since he was away

on Halloween, the cutest bat you ever saw!!!!

  I made a snowman and santa set yesterday,

I will post a picture, I want to decorate with alot of greenery from outside this year. (So

I just put them in a pan with some cedar).

   Our church participated in operation Christmas child and collected boxes on Sunday.

They have to be mailed early so they can arrive to the different countries by Christmas.

That is one of my favorite things to do at Christmas. I would love to see those little faces

when they open their boxes. It is such a warm feeling, that is the true meaning of what Christmas is about.







Cole also has the back page filled up, and I also put a huge amount of pictures in an envelope for him to take home and make Santa a list. he he
