Loved everything!!!  Scrapbook items for Fall, pumpkin pillow, Fall tapestry, pumpkins, candles, delicious lollipops, sachet, dishtowel, and a beautiful homemade card.   Such wonderful goodies. Thank you Amy for hosting this amazing Swap, and again, Thank you so much Deb!

SUCH A WONDERFUL SURPRISE!!!

There are such wonderful people in this world, and I am so blessed to have them in my life!!! I wasn't having the best of luck with a couple of swaps, and I was really feeling down and out. I wanted to post this sooner, but I got pneumonia and the flu, which all started on Christmas day, and I ended up in the hospital. So now I want to thank all of these beautiful ladies who have blessed my life. It is people like you that make this world a better place. To my wonderful Friend Amy, from BUMBLE BEE LANE, who took it upon herself to set up such a caring and thoughtful surprise for me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know you are always there if I need someone to talk to... Look at all the beautiful "Joys" I received...

   It has been awhile...had a few setbacks etc., but everything is starting to look good! Thank goodness, Spring has finally arrived. I recently was partners with Francine, "PRIMITIVE STARS" IN Amy's (BUMBLE BEE LANE) annual "SPRING TIDINGS SWAP. "  I had such a good time getting to know Francine,  she is so bubbly and sweet. She sent me some really nice things, as you will see. Some of the pics didn't come out too good, but they are viewable. (kind of like my blogging)

 Love this little vintage glass. And this this sweet bunny egg cup is the sweetest thing ever. I just love it!!!  Abeautiful card, and a yummy bag of caramels, which I already ate...they were so good Francine

 Love these bundle of prim eggs and the pretty tag.

 Love my apron Francine.  Brightens up my kitchen.

 A better pic of the egg cup, isn't the Bunny so adorable?

   The cutest little pillow ever!  And look at ny hook! It goes in the kitchen also.

MY WONDERFUL "MERRY CHRISTMAS SWAP"

Amy, from BUMBLE BEE LANE, hosted her annual MERRY CHRISTMAS SWAP. I had Sandi from THE PRIMITIVE SKATE for my partner. What a beautiful package she sent me...Take a look and

see...    I love all the Snowmen. Everything was just so sweet!                                                                       

                                                           Aren't these just so adorable?                                                                   

                    Thank you so much Sandi. I enjoyed being your partner, and love everything so much!
            Amy is such a Sweetheart hosting all her swaps, and I want her to know how much she is appreciated. You hear that Amy?  I am slowly healing from my knee surgery, and I hope to get back to normal pretty soon. Hubby had his surgery, and is on the mend, hoping to get back to work next week. I have had him home since Thanksgiving, so I am ready for him to go back. {not used to having him home}, but he WAS a big help the first couple of weeks. It is bitterly cold here this week, and I don't think I will ever complain about hot weather again! (probably till summer) I hope everyone is staying warm.Have a wonderful and warm week!

A LITTLE BIT OF PARADISE....AND THEN SOME!

 Isn't this beautiful?  This is where we spent our weekends this summer.

 The waves were just right, and the kids had a ball!

 Why we never went here every Summer, I will never know!

 I love this place...Lake Erie! It is just so amazing, and as I sit here contemplating my surgery Tuesday, I wish I was back there. It is one of the most serene places on Earth, and it is the place to go to relieve stress. 
There was never more than a handful of people on this part of the beach, and I am so looking forward to going back. And to think it was practically in my back yard.

 I told you guys I/ was getting ready for an auction in November, and after working on dolls for two weeks, I still have tons to get ready. So I am hoping everything goes well in surgery, and I have a fast recovery. Yes, I am still upset about having it, but it is supposed to be a life changer. I am praying it is.   Two posts in one day? What am /I thinking!
