Good morning every one; oh what a wonderful day it is too. Ok my morning went like this... Up at 6 am Hubby up at 6:15 coffee for him, then get my grandson Zachary started getting up at the same time. Yes we have our grandson Zachary living with us, oh and his dad, that is another post. Any way I fix breakfast for hubby and Zachary, hubby leaves for work at about 7:30, still trying to get Zachary ready for school. Ok he has his hair all done brushed his teeth, oh and he loves to use his papaw's deodorant and smell good, that is what he calls it..
Then it is out the door and off to school.. whewww! I could not wait to get home to fix my coffee and my toaster strudel, my feet are up and now I having some quite time doing my posting and then get to visit some of you... I feel so bad that I have not be by to visit most of you, some have been way to long. And I am so sorry for that, I really have not forgot any of you just trying to find my way with all the changes going on in our home, but I think my routine is getting better... My windows are open as well as the family room patio doors, letting in all this wonderful warm weather..
Yesterday afternoon I was getting our patio ready sweeping and getting it all set for Spring. I still have lots to do with it, but a least it is getting there. So later today I will be out front raking up some left over leafs and twigs from the yard, then Zach will be home from school, then I will be in my craft room working on my Easter Swap basket, I have cup up with some pretty great gifts for my partner, so I hope she likes it... So ladies that is my morning so far... I am tired already . lol
Now on to my winning a give a way... ohhhhh goodness... I was so very excited to be the very luck winner of Heidi's give a way, from foxgloves, fabric and folly. She had a drawing a while back for her very beautiful Pink and White Quilt,,, and I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [squeal very loud] I was just so amazed that my name was drawn out from over 130 comments.... I have been blessed with this winning... So Yesterday my door bell rang, and when I opened the door there was this wonderful looking box looking up at me.... I was so very excited, as I picked it up and saw the name on the box, I knew what was inside. I could not wait to see it,,,, so I will show you some of the photos I took... I hope you are still with me, I know it is getting to a long post,,, sorry... he he
Heidi took such care in packing this beautiful quilt...
This is how she bundled it up, with a pretty ribbon and a very sweet note. She had this little beauty so snug and wrapped that nothing could have messed it up... Now how sweet and caring was that I ask you... But then if any of you know Heidi you already know how she is..
I just had to get a photo of it out side on my patio, the light was just perfect for it..... Don't you just love the color Pink, I am so in love with this quilt. So now I had to find a place to put it so every one could see it...
So I thought it would look pretty on my dinning room table, I know it is a small one, it used to be in our kitchen nook in our other home, but with all my grandkid's coming and going I was worried about it... So I have a four poster bed with the side rails so I hung it behind out head board. It looks pretty great. Sorry I did get a photo of it, but I will today and sneak it in tomorrow's post.
It any of you have not been to Heidi's blog, then you really should pay her a visit. She is such a caring loving friend. Heidi is so understanding as well, with a huge Heart for others.... I love to read her posts, from everything to her family, her beautiful home and the recipes she shares. So I hope you will pay her a visit, I promise you will not be disappointed... Well I guess that is about it for now,,,,,, hey do I hear a it's about time...... he he
I hope every one had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day yesterday, and I hope you all have a beautiful day today... I am listening to a Robin calling for it's mate.... how sweet the sound.... love it.
I thank you for stopping by to read my posts, and then to leave me a comment about it... You all make my days so much brighter... I still keep you all my prayers and in my heart.....
Until next time enjoy life... God Bless
Hugs;
