Parcels, Christmas Stitching, Blog Party

Saturday's mail brought a lovely parcel to my mail box. I must admit I was somewhat confused, until I read the card. I nearly had this all ripped open before I remembered the camera. All beautifully wrapped using red gingham tissue.

A lovely warm flannel pillow case, chocolates (always needed) beautiful body soap and a yummy hot chocolate mix.
Thank you so much Stephanie, what a sweetie you are.

This one is prepped, ready to stitch down when dh and I have our little trip later this month (more on that later).
More secret Christmas stitching.
Now onto some fun. Nanette is having a blog party this week, to celebrate her year of blogging. Hop on over and join in on the fun.
Today is an extremely exciting day here in my home. I received a much awaited letter. I'm going to ask those of you that pray if you could lift the situation (God knows) up in prayer for a positive outcome. I'll be able to tell you all in January.
Happy Stitching.

THanks Linda! It has been a fun and interesting week so far. Keeping track of things is a good challenge for me. Your Stephanie things are so cute too. Love them!

I'll remember you in my prayers. We can all use a little more prayer in the world, especially right now. I know I've been praying more often. It is interesting to see how I pray more when I need things than when I'm thankful. Terrible isn't it.
