As I mentioned in my previous post, Jenny organized "A Very Quick Christmas Swap". On Friday, I received my package from swap partner, Marlene. I was also swap partner to Jenny. :-) Her package arrived on Saturday afternoon, just when I needed a break from tree-trimming. She sent me an extra fat quarter because she didn't think her ribbon was very "Christmasy". I think it's lovely and it will end up in a crazy quilting project as little florets. :-)
After I took the photo, I almost threw the envelope away and then I realized.....it's an original sketch from Jenny. Can't toss that in the trash so it's going in the scrapbook file. :-) Thanks, Jenny!On a serious note, my mom is in the hospital. She's developed some issues related to the kidney stones. The doctor wants to keep her for a couple days and run some tests so that surgery can go on as scheduled for next week. I have appreciated all your thoughts and prayers and ask that you keep it up. She's doing well, but what a bumpy journey she is having. We'll know more tomorrow about what the week will hold.
That's all for tonight. Have a great Monday and a good week!

I'm sure your two trees look lovely. We have two trees, also...but in our house, the smaller one is in the living room and the bigger one in the family room. The big one has ornaments on it that were collected over more than 47 years (including one from my childhood years). I enjoy looking at all of them as I unpack them and put them on the tree.
Oh, yes....forgot to add that you know I'm hoping for good news about your mom's current hospitalization.
Prayers for your mother and Happy Thanksgiving.
It is time to trim the trees, isn't it? I put up 5 trees and it takes a good bit of time. I'll keep your mother in my prayers.
praying for your Mom, good thing she didn't travel to your house for the holiday. I have a couple of ornaments from my Mom's tree when she was a young Girl!!! Oh how I treasure them.
The song on your web truly affected me. This is a hard time for you.
I get a chuckle every time I look at your blog header. Those little dolls look like they are hiding a secret from us!
What a lovely swap package!! I look forward to seeing your trees, I bet they look wonderful!
My prayers are with your mom.

Prayers for your mom, Sandi. She has had a bump road with this. It is especially tough during the holidays.
Healthy thoughts to your mother!
All right. You beat me. Today I'm going to work on the Christmas tree in the living room. it's an older one that you have to poke the branches in the trunk. My family thinks it's too early to put the tree up but you are proof that it is okay. Thanks so much, blessings, Linda
