~GW Finds, Gift From A Friend, and Christmas Kitties~

It sure has been a busy week here so far. I have finished up all of the Christmas gifts that I was making and got some more cookies baked. Now all I need to do is get all the gifts wrapped!!

On Monday, I went out to dinner to Crackle Barrel with a friend and my sister. After eating dinner…we headed over to the GW and I found a couple of goodies for myself.

Just look at this basket… and it was only $1.99.

I also picked up this silver pitcher…for $2.99. For now, it is on the shelf in the living room and I really like how it looks sitting with the white pitchers that I have.

On Tuesday…I took my granddaughter, Josie, out to lunch and then we did some shopping. It was a very fun girl’s day out. She even helped me pick out a new shirt to wear on Christmas Day. When I got home, there was a package waiting on the porch for me…it was from my friend, Cheryl. I met her through my blog when she left me a comment…she does not have a blog, so I commented back to her through email and we have been friends ever since. She lives here in my home state up north and I live in the southern part…I do hope that we get to meet one day.

Now to the package that she sent me…I was like a little kid and couldn’t wait to open it up. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love what she gave me…this gift really touched my heart and I will treasure it forever. Right now, this large white pitcher is sitting on the counter in the kitchen. I’m waiting until after the Christmas decorations are put away to figure out where I want to display it.

And look at what else she sent me… some snowman goodies!! A little prim snowman with a green plaid homespun scarf, a little red stocking with a tiny snowman & candy-canes…and a wood snowman ornament. I put them into the basket that I got from the GW to take a picture to share with all of you…and I really liked how they looked in it that I decided to leave them in there.

 (Cheryl, thank you so much for the wonderful gifts…I love, love, love them!!!)

This will most likely be my last post until after Christmas…we will be spending Friday with Mr D’s family, Saturday with our 2 girls, our son-in-law, and the grandkids,…and Sunday with my family. So I’ll be signing off with a picture that my sister sent to me…I’m calling it “Christmas Kitties”. I love this photo…to me it looks like it should be on the front of a Christmas card.  So I did just that…made a Christmas card from me to all of you.
