Junebug,
Thank you so much for the adorable mini scrapbook/album. I can't wait to fill it, (when I find the time) ! As you can see having a new baby in the mix makes me belated at everything...including my thank yous! Sorry for my delay in acknowledging receipt of your thoughtfully crafted giftie.
Please know that de-spite my de-lay I am de-lighted!
Happy Spring to all!

Hey y'all!
I've received the most precious cloth with a honey bee and honey jar embroidered on it......of course, from the embroidery queen.....Aunt Jenny!!!!! I love it!
I received it a couple of weeks ago and my regular life has prevented me from coming online. So sorry for the late gratitude, Jenny!
Blessings
Catherine

Melissa (sqrl), your package arrived today, and I am amazed at your talent! The hearts (I don't know what they're called but I know that I'm going to hang them on the headboard post of my 4-poster bed) are gorgeous, and the bunny is soooo cute. And the flower pin is adorable, too. My dd watched me open the package and now she wants to be a FarmGirl! You're so thoughtful and creative.

I want to say a big THANK YOU  to Patricia (Utahfarmgirl) for the gift I got today. It is a little pillow with a type of patchwork back of pale green, yellow and lavendar squares. In the middle is a bunny that has been embrodiered on. So cute. It is like Patricia saw my bedroom. I have the same colors - pale green, yellow with lavendar accents. The pillow now sits on our small stuffed chair in the bed room. Such a perfect fit. If I can get DH's digital camera, I will post photos. Thanks again Patricia for the wonderful gift.

Jenny,
Thanks again for doing the exchange with me even though I signed up late. The pillow you made me is very sweet and putting the words on it "Make a difference" just made it even better. What a great reminder! You are such a sweet and wonderful person!

Cynthia, I did the exact same thing in the last holiday swap! Guess who stepped up and made an extra goodie to swap with me so I could participate? Yep, Aunt Jenny. She's a sweetheart.
Melissa (sqrl), your package is in the mail. After you get it, I have something to ask you, okay? I was going to make a journal and matching stationery and things like that -- the journal to chronicle your trip and the stationery to keep in touch with loved ones -- but when I was at the store getting the materials, I saw something that completely changed my mind. It turned out to be so "prophetic" -- you'll see what I mean (hint, hint). I hope you like it.

Bridge, I love my gift. (Will post photo later) I received an Easter themed embroidered bag for goodies. Your embroidery is really good; I have it displayed on my table. Thank you so much, can't wait till you get mine. Also, I had never had chocolate for health; who ever invented it was a genius! Also, thank your for the poppies, I have never planted them before, so pretty. Thanks!
Remember what you now have was once among the things only hoped for. |

Sorry for your loss too. Hope your sister is doing alright. She's lucky to have you around. Yep, there's a reason we've been paired up!

Sleepless Reader-
Sorry to hear about your family's loss. May you find comfort in each other.
Not to worry about being late, I've been spending all my spare minutes and some days with my recently widowed sister, so I'm behind too. Must have been a reason we were paired up.

Patricia -
Glad you like them. Was trying to come up with an idea that was spring/easter related. Then I was out on my porch and I have a few painted pots out there and that's when I thought - oh I can do little painted pots. I thought they would be cute on a kitchen window sill. A little spring inside.
Again, glad they got there in one piece.
