~Gifts From Friends And Gifts I Made~

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. I can’t believe how quickly this past year has gone by…and that we are just a few days away from welcoming in the New Year.  Over the next few days, I will be taking down my Christmas decorations and just leaving out a few snowmen for the winter.

Speaking of snowmen…I just have to share with you the snowman that Gina of “Cat Nap Inn Primitives” made for me.

 He is so cute!!! I had him sitting in a chair, but moved him to the dining room table…where he is sitting beside my 3-tier display tray that has fabric cookies in it.

Gina also sent me several other goodies…

~a rusty bell ornie~

~a pantry cake~

 I put the little pantry cake on the plate-stand that has my other faux food pieces on it. This sits on my kitchen counter.

She also gave me a scarf, some wonderful lotions, and a very yummy smelling candle. I hope I haven’t forgotten anything…she really spoiled me. (Thanks Gina, I love everything!!)

I sent Gina this set of kitties and some of my Christmas ornies for her tree.

I also made another set of these kitties for a friend of mine for her Christmas gift.

And this is what she gave to me….

~and a old cheese grater~

 I love them on the shelf in the kitchen with my white pitchers…they look great up there. I got some money for Christmas and my sister got a gift card to one of our favorite thrift/antique shop’s. So, I can’t wait to go out junking with her to see if I can find a few more old pieces to put in the kitchen.

I hope you all have a Happy New Year. I have enjoyed visiting your blogs this past year. Thanks to all of you for stopping by to visit me and for taking the time to leave me such sweet comments.  Until next time…..       blessings, Cindy
