GIFTS OF LOVE--

I really don't know what I would do without my blog friends--
between emails and cards and gifts--
you have made my holiday a great one--
and I want to share some of my 'bounty' with you!!!

This sweet star and very glittery card is from Anne-lise in Norway--
thank you so much--love them both!

and this cute little doll planter and the 2 pieces of fabric that were tucked into the the planter, along with this cute cute chicken picture frame is from Lola--
I love them all and my little brain is working on how to use them the best way!!!
thanks you so much--love!!!

and this cute tree card and this to die for "pink pink" knitted scarf is just luscious!!!!
and is from Nola--
Now Nola we do carry this yarn at the shop--
but--but not this color--so I can't thank you enough for this oh so delightfully pink scarf!!!
and this is something I would not have made for myself--
so thanks alot!!!

and this nice collection of gifts came from Sunny--
we both love the word -Believe--so we always exchange a gift every year with that word on it--
she made that beautiful counted cross stitch pillow--I just love it--
it is soooooo pretty and that little cat ornament--

Will be treasured all year this year--
and I love red and white and the word 'joy'--that was my word for many years--
before the word Believe !!!!!
Thank you for all my lovely new treasures,!!! I heart them!!!

 

I got alot of lovely's from my friend Alice--
here is one set---the little silver angel also has the word Believe on it--
and just look at that chocolate--what was that you said, Alice--
ahhh--yes there 'was' two chocolate bars--No Alice I wouldn't have eaten one already--
what--you say that it looks like the bag of chocolate has been opened, too?????
oh not me,says Di--had to have been Miss Gracie!!!!!

And she knows I love organic peanut butter--
but look at the word in orange--'wild'--so if I am alittle 'wilder' than usual this next month--
you can blame it all on Alice!!!!!
and yes, a mouse has already been in the jar of peanut butter--what can I say???
I just love these gifts toooooo much not to eat them!!!!!!

and here is a neat snowman and some cute cute mini baking cups---
I almost bought me a new snowman for this year--
so glad I didn't--it wouldn't mean the same as this one!!!
wonder if the baking cups are a hint??????

and it would not be Christmas if we didn't send aleast a one or two pieces of cloth--
love love these two--can you see what is in the mittens--look in the upper left corner???
some mice--I love mice!!!

and a set of three heart shaped stacking boxes--
and look what they say one the tops of them---

what a beautiful set--wonder what I can hide in them?????
Hummm-oh I know--some of that chocolate, so miss gracie doesn't eat it all up on me!!!!!!

Plus Alice always send me a really neat card--
see the above photo--
now look--

when you set it to stand up,  it looks like a snow globe!!!!!!
now how neat is that????
Alice I love them all and then some--




I am simply blown away with everyone's thoughts and gifts--

Hugs, love, and smiles :-) Di and miss gracie
