Some VERY belated Thank Yous

Hi blogging friends,
Why is it..that I cannot seem to keep up with my life.

Does anyone feel that way during the winter?

I had many dear sweet blogging and chat

groups friends bestow me with some lovely gifts

during the holidays.  I took pictues but didn't

get any posted. What IS my problem? The older

I get, the less I can mentally do as much as I used too.

It is very frustrating and then I forget! UGH! lol

So,

I thought I'd share them with you, a little late,these sweet
goodies I recieved with a HUGE Thank You!

My sweet friend Katie of Katies Tea Roses
sent this darling mitten she made and then added
gorgeous SRE (silk ribbon embroidry) handwork on to it.
I so wish I could do this!

Then my dear friend Judy of Vintage to Chic

sent me a beautifully handpainted Tear Drop Ornie, Lovely

teacup in my Living Room Colors and darling

childs shoe mold! I love them all!

Another dear friend, Ele of A Bit of PINK Heaven sent me

combined birthday/Christmas gifts.  A hand

beaded cross and some gorgeous tags she makes!

Lucky me!

My dear sweet Bertie of Aunt May's Cottage sent me

a gorgeous Victorian Fan, Pretty Pin, vintage

ribbon and an Amazing Card.  She knew I had a special

spot on my wall for this fan!

Then my dear friend Karen of Second Hand Rose

sent me a lovely cupcake confection you put in a bath, GODIVA

chocolates, nee I say more.  But I could not resist

the sweetest paper she wrapped everything in..

so I took a picture for you to see.

Then in my Special group of ladies I have gotten to know

from ebay did a Christmas swap.  My goodies came

for such a special lady.  Shirl of Shirls Rose Cottage was

my swap partner!

Oh she wrapped my presents so pretty!

And I LOVED it all.  Made so special for me!

This tussies has a sweet lil red bird..and Oh its just too pretty!

Shirl is also another friend who does SRE (silk ribbon embroidry)

and her work is amazing.  She made this felt dove

and it has such bling!!!

Oh and some sweet treats too!

Ladies...each of you means so much to me!

I treasure your friendship and am thankful

to God that you are in my life!

Aren't friends amazing?

If you get the chance, be sure to stop by these

talented and sweet ladies!

Blessings...Lorena
