Are you Sure It Isn't Christmas!

Sometimes in life blessings come from folks you have never met! Today just happens to be one of those days. Miss Sharon a wonderful gal that I only know through an ebay group and her blog Moosecraft USA sent me a box full of blessings!
The cross stitched "SPRING" pillow is just so sweet and I love each and every stitch of it. She does beautiful work!

If that wasn't enough just look at what else was in the box....I'm thinking today felt like Christmas!



Lotion to put on my dry hands and it sure smells and feels good. A magazine full of delicious sounding recipes and a notebook to fill with notes and ideas.



Yarns for punching, a tin to fill with take along projects, and a sweet card from Sharon.




Antique thread bobbins :)



An adorable bunny!



And....this cow weathervane....it's just MOOOvalis!


I feel so richly blessed not just by the gifts but by the treasured friendships that I have that stretch across the many miles.... Thank you again Sharon!

Treasures and More Treasures!

What a load of treasures I received this week. Chelle sent me these most beautifully stitched ornies, pocket filled with wool and lovely embroidery flosses. We have a secret santa gift exchange on our eBay group "AAPG" or otherwise known as USAPRIM on ebay. She stitched up each of these pieces and with having 2 active boys I'm not sure where she found the time but I'm so glad she did. I just LOVE each and every detail she put into it. I feel very blessed to have her hand~stitched goodies. Thank you Chelle I shall treasure them always.





Then on Thursday evening I went into Purcell to attend the annual Christmas parade and met a good friend for supper. She gave me these wonderful smelling lotions that will feel so good throughout the winter months. Thank you Teresa for the wonderful evening of catching up.







Pati Jane surprised me with these wonderful goodies she handmade. She puts her heart into all she does. The old cheesebox with the greenery, lights, Gingerbread girl, and little ornaments are prim perfect.



Then if that wasn't enough this little pocket that she started back in February. It is a pattern by Primitive Betty. I had watched her start this project and work on it on and off. It is such a special gift. It was her first one using this kind of linen and I admire every stitch of it. What a blessing Pati has been in my life....she has truly become an addition to our family.



The gifts above were held by this wonderful primitive basket....I'm sure I'll find some goodies to go inside. Thank you so much Pati...

Well my heart is truly full not just by the giving of the gifts but by the thoughtfulness of each of you. You are all such dear friends and I'm truly blessed.

Opening Up a Treasure Chest and More

Treasures of life come in all forms....simple little things like a call from a friend, a hug from your Mom or Dad, the conversation with a 3 year old. I have so many simple little treasures in my life.....treasures that are such wonderful blessings.

My dear friend Betty put together this wonderful treasure chest of goodies. Her handmades are just beautiful. She puts her heart into everything she makes. I'm very honored to to have several items Miss Betty has made. Thank you Betty for the wonderful treasures!




Another treasure also came in today's mail....a sweet card from an AAPG friend "Mimi" with the sweetest wool strawberry and adorable birdhouse. They will certainly bring some sunshine to our home. Thank you so much Miss Mimi!

Well treasures of life are not hard to find....Just look around and you'll surely see beautiful flowers blooming, birds chirping love notes to each other, laughter of children, sunsets and oh so much more. I hope you'll take time to look around at the simple treasures that you have in your life.
