An Award

I was recently gifted with this sweet award from some friends I've known for several years in a Yahoo group we call CHL (Creative Home Life). These ladies take such pleasure in creating welcoming and loving homes for their friends and families.

I was able to meet Joanne in person a little over a year ago when I was in Texas. We talked and laughed all afternoon as she drove Jessi and me all over Austin. Without a map.

It would be my great pleasure to meet Rhonda and Heidi in real life also.

Wouldn't it be fun to have a giant CHL slumber party? :o)

Flower Swap

I've been a member of the Creative Home Life Yahoo group for several years, and consider these ladies my very good friends. Every now and then we have "swaps" and send each other a little assortment of gifts. Recently we held a 'flower swap' and I just got my package in the mail this morning from Mary Kathryn. She's a new friend in our group and I've enjoyed getting to know her. She is an incredible stitcher, and I am so pleased to have something she made for me. The pillow is so sweet! Everything else is fun, too, and I look forward to using it all. Thanks Mary Kathryn!

I'm sending to Dot, and am woefully tardy in doing so, but I will finish my project for her today. That is top priority after I put that second coat of paint on the bathroom walls! :o)
