Tuesday, began Advent, and I opened my first package sent to me by Rachelle who was my Advent partner and who has a blog called Quarantine Quilting. Imagine my joy when I opened up the package and saw a wonderful stocking. It is hanging now over the Stanley, and it will be stuffed with our favorite candy. I didn't post on Tuesday, because I wanted the focus on the December Star, but then Tuesday came in a blink of an eye. I then got to open package 2 , and I got lovely Christmas coasters. I had tons to do that day, and before I knew it, it was day 3, and I was opening the third advent gift, which turned out to be wonderful soap from Australia. Well, I finally am posting on day three , and so here is a pic of all three gifts. Thanks so much Rachelle! I just love the first three so much! I can't wait till tomorrow to open the next one. Gee, time is flying! I will post from now on each and every day as I open them. I definitely have to get my act together and start decorating, getting gifts ready, etc. for Christmas! All the renovation and painting just put me so far behind, so now I have to get my act t
ogether. Anyone else feel as overwhelmed as I do?
ogether. Anyone else feel as overwhelmed as I do?Oh, by the way, here is a pic of Rachelle, to show you how lovely and sweet she is...I was a lucky bunny to get her.
Thanks again Rachelle!! Both of us just exchanged some Jacquie Lawson cards between each other, and that was fun! It is wonderful that we both got to meet, and that's thanks to the wonderful Advent Swap! Hope you see this Rachelle, as I am sending you big hugs and kisses all the way from Ireland!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
