Gifts Received

Dear friends and fellow bloggers,

I have had a lovely selection of ornaments and gifts this year. Thank you to all. I'm still a child at heart and love not knowing what is inside and get very excited at opening the gifts.

First that came through the post was the ornament gift from Katrina. Did you spot it on the 'Stitching Tree' post? He's a very jolly chap, of course a Prairie Schooler Santa and a favourite of many, not just myself. Thank you Katrina, I love our exchanges.

Next came a package from June. I had an array of ornaments, buttons, ribbon, a Mill Hill kit, a fragrance sachet and an angel. The angel now sits on the top of my 'Stitching Tree' as I don't have anything to put up there. The wooden socking ornament and the pudding are on the traditional tree. I am sure to use some of the buttons and pegs in a crafty project. I'm supposed to be crafting along with Ali Edwards' December Daily but it's not going too well. Too much work and not enough playtime! Thank you June for your thoughtful gifts.

Then I had my annual ornament from Carol. I'm crossing my fingers that Carol will be back blogging with us again next year. She's put in a few appearances this year but frankly it's not enough! LOL. Carol has stitched me a lovely reindeer. I was telling Carol I had been to see the reindeers the other day at the garden centre down the road. I just have to, it's tradition! Thank you Carol, I'm always excited at what you choose to stitch for me.

Some beautiful gifts. Thank you dear friends, for your kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity, I am so lucky.

 

I will leave you with a photo of the reindeer. I can't remember what their names were but they were mother and son, the son being born last May.

 

 

 

Until next time ......
