Gifts Galore- Wins And Suprises

I cannot tell you how

delighted I am with

what has been going

on here.

SOOO many wonderful

gifts

have found their way to me.

The first, amd most precious,

gift was a healthy

new grandson.

Our darling little

Charles-In-Charge.

Upon arriving at my own home

with new Mama, new baby,

and BigBoyE

I found things waiting

to be opened.

I won a wonderful

GLASSYBABY

from

Lynne over at

Dreams on 34th St.

If you don't know her,

please pop by her blog.

She is a delightfully,

sweet, talented girl.

I chose the one called
Hide & Seek
because it already
looks like it is glowing.

This is one of the most

beautiful pieces of

glasswork I have ever

held in my hands.

With a votive burning

inside it is spectacular.

It sits behind my kitchen sink

in the window for the

Holiday season...

and it may stay there year round.

Isn't she a beauty?

I also received a beautiful

necklace and tag

handmade by

Cindy Adkins

Cindy Adkins Whimiscal Musings

 The "dangler" is a domino

and when you turn it over it

has this sweet graphic on it.

Did you notice that it is held in

place by a mini-clip that attaches

to the chain?

I am sorry to say that the picture

of the tag is so blurry I can't use it...

but, trust me, it is beautiful!

If you haven't met Cindy yet

pop by her blog-

she is uber talented

and you will be blessed to

get to know her.

And then...

Laurie over at

Heaven's Walk

blessed me with this beauty.

I wear a lot of black so this

is perfect for the Holidays.

Stop by and visit her

very

ShabbyChic,Romantic,

Cottage Style,

Jeanne deArc blog.

So...as if that wasn't enough...

As if I wasn't blessed enough already,

I get an email from

Tina @ What We Keep

She has another wonderful blog.

If you aren't a follower already

you will be soon.

She is REAL, folks!

She even says a naughty word

now and then

(or so I heard).

Anyway.....

I won one of her wonderful

aprons.  And I DO MEAN

wonderful.

Here's the apron I won-

I was thrilled to get the one

on the right.

When she told me I won

I was expecting an apron-

this is a close up of the front.

but there was so much more

in that package.

2 potholders, candy cane sticks,

an ornament,

and some "babies" for

MY BABIES.

Little treasures for the

"hidey holes" under the steps.

And what package that looks like this...

Is really complete without

Pearl The Amazing

Balancing Pig?

Well, I hope I didn't forget

anything.  If I did y'all will

forgive me, won't you?

Cuz...remember...I am old..

and tired....

and-what's that?

Oh, yeah...I am forgetful...!;>)

Thank you to everyone!

Fellow bloggers are some

of the best people

I have never met!
