Wishing You a Blessed Christmas; Giving and Receiving

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a blessed, joyous Christmas!

I have been so fortunate this Christmas to be on the receiving end of gifts from some of my blogger friends.
Kara/Mother Henna held a blog gift exchange and I was fortunate to have Brandy as my partner. This week I received 2 beautiful CDs which she created. She is playing Christmas music on the piano - I have really loved playing the music over and over!. Her artwork is on the cover as well. Thanks so much Brandy!


Hybrid J sent me a lovely card of her artwork. Thanks so much Hybrid J - I love it!

I received a beautiful card from Sherry. I had been visiting her blog and when I wrote about missing a card from my Mom she offered to send me one! What a lovely gesture! Thank you so much Sherry!
