"Brown paper packages tied up with strings. These are a few of my favorite things".
Because they mean you have such dear and wonderful friends who care and think about you.
I found this in my mail box this morning. Such an unexpected and beautiful gift. Sheila from Seasons of thy Heart makes these absolutely gorgeous arrangements. I feel so special to be able to have one on my piano downstairs and another one in my family room upstairs.
I was able to talk to her on the phone this morning. It was so heartwarming to visit with her like that. She lives just a couple of hours from me. It's fun to have another Idaho blogger so close.

So, is this a very good lunch? Egg Nog is one thing I look forward to each Christmas. One year, when I was pregnant with "Middle", I gained so much weight drinking this stuff. The nurse actually asked me if I meant to gain that much between appointments. Uh, ya.....
Anyway, it's my lunch today as I am trying to hurry and create some Christmas presents for my brother and sister-in-law. Geesh.....I better go faster......times a runnin' out.
Have a wonderful day.
Hi Steph, what a wonderful present, love the Christmas arrangement, so sweet........looks like a yummy lunch to me......Blessings Francine.

ReplyDeleteHi Steph! That's a sweet arrangement from Sheila...hers are always stuffed with goodies...no scimping there! I have several that I just LOVE!! Years ago I used to make eggnog for the boys..haven't had it for awhile. That's so funy about when you were pregnant. :) My MIL used to smuggle Dunkin' Donuts to me as soon as Al left for work! LOL! Have a great creative day!
ReplyDeleteLove the arrangement! So pretty. I am not a fan of eggnog. I love hot chocolate on a cold day! Have a great evening!

So Sweet of Sheila to send you the arrangement! What a wonderful Gift. Love her arrangements!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
I LOVE that thing Shelia does!! LUCKY YOU!! So sweet! And eggnog...yummmm... I used to love it, but, funny, haven't had any in years - suppose b/c Crow Daddy and Lil' Crow don't have "the taste," which meant I drank it all. So, now, I'm at a point where, hey, who cares? Guess what's going on "the list"??? ;o) Smiles & Eggnog Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteI think you should sell this picture to Meadow Gold. You'd make a buck or two for sure! Cute post. Wonder where you got your love for eggnog??
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gift. Aren't blog friends the best??
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful night~Becky
