DOUBLE BLESSED BY BARBARA

I just received a second valentine swap gift. As I said yesterday, Barbara was my swap mate, and her husband was very ill. Nancy stepped in and sent me a gift which I opened yesterday.
Today I opened this wonderful package from Barbara containing this Mrs. Fields chocolate, a very nice card with a nicely written message and the two items handmade I am showing you next.

This is a wonderfully stitched little pillow. Barbara, your stitching is so pretty. I really cannot thank you enough.


Barbara and her husband made a tree full of little snowmen. I am so lucky to receive one which can now be added to my snowman tree. What do you think, am I not one lucky person?
I forgot to add a picture of the cute little heart shaped buttons.

  1. Well, this is all just wonderful. I love the stitched pillow! It will be fun to sit this out each February. I also know that your new snowbuddy will find his place among friends on your Christmas tree! Doesn't it make you want to have it be Christmas right now? :)

    Love and hugs ~
