Luv My Package...

Oh how delighted I was to find a package addressed to me from Aimee in our Post box today...
Thank You so very much Aimee... I LUV everything.

 Looks like the poor box was not handled with kit gloves.... lol!

 but everything was fine.... and beautifully wrapped.

 check out all my goodies... hmmm, do I read first and then nibble on the treats... or do I nibble on the treats first and then read??? oh, decisions, decisions....

I even luv the gift tags... I am so gift wrapping challenged... so it was a treat for me to receive  sweetly wrapped gifts...
Thank you so very much Aimee....
Merry Christmas to you, your hubby and  Milo, Murphy and Stella too!

My Swap Gift...Awesome

My package arrived today all the way from North Carolina from Tammy Simpkin and oh what fun I had unwrapping her wonderful little gifts. Each one was a treasure.

 Look at all the wonderful gifts she sent. An amazing penguin stocking which I immediately put in the place of my 'Mom,' stocking I had made myself years ago when my boys were small. Socks, who doesn't loves toasty warm soft socks? The photo below shows I love them and after slogging through the mud to find our Christmas tree this evening to cut down, these were a blessing!

A Dish towel (it made me cry) my mom always sent me new dishtowels each Christmas, this reminded me of mom and somehow Tammy, you made her feel a bit closer this year!  There was Swiss Miss hot chocolate which we will use tomorrow as we all gather for the driving to look at Christmas lights and come home to talk about them.

You can't see them, but the box of Sprinkles has 4 large jars of sprinkles to go with that wonderful snowman cookie cutter and we are planning on taking our homemade cookies this year to our local soup kitchen to bless them with goodies!

It was all wrapped in beautiful paper and sent with a card about STOCKING...her word for me!

Thank you Tammy, today I needed this!

All Wrapped Up...

All wrapped up... and hoping the roads will be clear tomorrow so I can drive to town.

"Candle" is the word I choose...
