Hi Beth,
I'm home from vacation and your stocking is all packed up and ready to mail. I'll get it off to you on Monday. I'm sorry I didn't get it in the mail before we left. I had the sticking done, but wanted to get a few more things.
Merry Christmas!
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

Kathy (Beachymom):
I received your package this morning! Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!! What a treat!!!!!!!!! I am beyond words. Feeling a bit embarrassed at what I sent to you, compared to what I received. I do believe I got the best swap partner!!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful, great, heartfelt and thoughtful gifts.
I’m listening to the Classical CD now. Earlier I brought all the gifts out to the Prayer Garden in the back yard, and spread them all out for pictures. I felt like it was Christmas morning. Thank you, thank you, again.
I’ll be sure to sign up for the Christmas Stocking Swap next year! This was such fun.
Thank you, Kathy. I loved each and every gift!

| Deb - I sent your package several days ago, so you should be getting it next week, if not then, the following week. Sometimes it takes a little longer from Canada! Hope you enjoy it :) |

Kat,
The stocking was in the mail when I arrived home Friday after having to drive 5 hours due to flight problems. I am at the airport again so did not get a chance to open it yet, but the stocking is lovely. Can't wait to get home Thursday and relax and open my stocking goodies. :))

Marley - I got your beautiful stocking yesterday. The purple stockings are the greatest!! I'll be wearing them soon to keep my toes toasty.
I may have to hide the amazing Pez Santa dispenser from my daughter!!
I've never seen Steen's Pure cane sugar but I look forward to trying out the recipes on the back.
The purple sunflower kitchen towel is great - but then, I do love purple & sunflowers.
The note cards will come in very handy too....I love snail mail!
And I will be sure to use the 2 Autumn/Halloween pillows next year.
By the way - shouldn't you have waited until Christmas to unwrap everything?? I know I wrapped most everything! But I understand how curiosity can get the better of a person.
Hope you and all my sisters have a great Christmas!!
Hugs and Squishies!!

Thanks, Kathy. There was NO way I could wait for Christmas to open the goodies. In fact, it never entered my mind to wait.
Thanks, again, for being the best partner.

Mildred decided that she likes my Scottish Terrier Snickers...but from a distance.
Today I found her standing by his picture. She is so adventurous...to a point.
Was going to post my last gift picture but guess I haven't transfered it off my cell
phone yet. So, I will try to remember to do it tomorrow.
Wow...there are some other fun Christmas Stockings being opened and enjoyed. Thanks for
the pictures girls. We love to see what you got.
blessings,

Wow Winnie...I am impressed that you can wait that long. I thought I was really
stretching it out doing one or two gifts per day. My family still does Stockings
for each other...even though all my kids have left home.
Enjoy it when you do open it.
blessings,

My Last Gift In My Stocking from Cheryl Keyes is a neat button bracelet in this
pretty red pouch. How cool is that?
Today Mildred took a little run out the front door and out in my Foyer...to see what
she could see out there. I think she felt like things were more her size out there,
because she stayed out there for a very long time. Silly little Mouse that she is!
Cheryl...thanks so much for Everything you sent, I truly enjoyed all the fun contained
in that Wonderful Stocking...but I have to admit, I think Mildred has won my Heart as
My Favorite Gift of all!!!
She will probably be popping on her nightly to share her adventures with you all!
Love and Hugs,
peggy

Santa Tammy came to my house!! Oh My goodness!! My Hubby said, He does not have to give me anything now! LOL! Tammy thank you so much! The material that the apron is made of is the exact same material my Great Aunt Mattie made all of us kids a pillow case out of one year, I was about 6. I still have it!! I adore my little sheep and the Reindeer, My hubby love vintage Christmas too, and he said, he would not haven given those up!! I am glad you did! The annalee ornament is darling, all of it is! so Much, I took pictures, so I would not forget any of it! The cat postcard is so funny,ya'll, it squeaks when you push on it and it was mailed in 1971, I love the stories written on the post cards! Those Elvis ones are awesome, Gonna have to hide those from my Aunt Judy! Also you did an awesome job on re-creating that Vintage stocking!! I just squealed out loud when I saw it first,opening the box. My mom loved it! I am gonna post it on Facebook, so my aunt, who is the baby in the picture can see it!!and email it to everyone else! Yours will go out around noon tomorrow. Thank you soooooooo much from the very bottom of my heart! Connie     |

 There is the cutest jewelry too, We can wear green and red the next 2 weeks to work, instead of our all black uniform, so it will look so cute! I thought I turned that stocking picture around, The pictures really don't show how awesome all this loot is!! There was peppermint soap and ornaments and hot chocolate in the stocking !The ornament on the stocking is too cute! I have added them all to my tree! Thanks again Tammy! I love it all!!
