Barb, your staying in won't be anything but a cheery time, to knit with wool from Brandon's sheep, how cool will that be..love to see the color of blue and gift cards from Joann's, always nice to have, have a couple, will have to make my way there end of January.

well Sue that is indeed not nice of them, wouldn't they rather see it wasn't a good mix than you keeping Bella and just can't manage her???shaking my head

Big sigh here,

did some smiling and some crying this morning, several times in fact

Decided that seeing I hadn't been out since last week that I would make a quick run into town..got oil change, not sure how it ended up $94.17 but say I need special oil

remembered that Walmart had plastic totes on sale, needed a few more of those for under the working table in my craft room and some white thread.

walked in, found one of the smaller carts, no sooner in main lobby did I take one heck of a fall, cart one way on its side, glasses under a counter and me laying on the floor..was rather embarrassed will all looking on..attendant asked if I was ok and I said yes, but drats I'm sore (nothing broken I'm sure)

Picked up what I needed and got out of there as quick as I could, sat in the car and had a little sob, how on earth could I have fallen..

Just about in the drive when I thought I really should have gone to the post office, so glad I did. I was smiling big time..a box from our Thunder (my Santa Warren buddy) and one from Annies

Opened Thunder's box, so many pretty wrapped parcels within the box

thought I'd start with the Christmas card, ohhhh knew I was going to be excited when I found a package machine needles inside.

Heart was pounding as I opened up my first package..omg, this is where I started to cry again
there was an entire Fons & Porter Dresden Tree Quilt Pattern and all the fabric to make it..now you just got to know I'm going to go through my fabric and cut her out a kit as well..just too generous, beyond generous and had that been my entire box I'd have been as happy as can be..so needed something or someone special in my life today and here was Thunder. Ièm anxious to make it..what is to stop me, I now have white thread ...

on to the next, but not without glancing at the kit, what do I find but another pattern and kit, Karen this one could make a tree skirt as well but look how pretty..Thunder put a kit of fabric together for me as well..reminds me of one of our floormats. Cannot wait to go through the fabric and see what she put together..she has a great eye for color.

I started to laugh when I opened the next package and there was a container of glitter..she knows I am the glitter queen right
