Just look and see what she made ----- a ditty bag with Santa printed in it, a cute snowman, a tree on a bobbin and great grubby candles. But when I got to the bottom of the box, I gasped, what a wonderful surprise. There was a Santa and his reindeer with an electric candle, greens and other goodies. I absolutely love it. Thank you so much Linda. A thank you also to Wendy of Ravenwood Whimzies for organizing the swap.</td></tr>

They were transferred here in March. It's a lovely area and a beautiful new house in the French style. My grandson is a very happy child, but misses his friends and stimulation of his daycare. My DIL is't working yet & would like to do a home school daycare type program for him. Does anyone have any info about this, books they have used, etc.? I would appreciate it. He had his first T2 incident the other day (we know about those, don't we!) The library story hour doesn't restart until June. We're taking him to a Mommy & Me gym glass tomorrow. Thanks.<br />
<br />
I walked around New Orleans for 3 hrs. last Sat. It's quite a place. I took lots of pictures that I will post after I get home.<br />
<br />

A prim Raggedy Anne, a tall bunny, a grungy chocolate bunny, a blue bunny in an old Jello mold, Grungy chocolate egg bowl fillers, a wonderful pierced rusty tin tart warmer, fantastic scented pineapple blossom tarts from Dakota Scents, Easter candy and fabulous vintage table runner.

<br />
I really enjoyed this visit. It's not often all of us are together. I had such fun with the little guy, esp. when we went to the park. He's constant motion. Next month they are moving from Atlanta to Louisiana. I know that I'll be taking a trip along I-10 & I-12, so if any of my fellow bloggers have fave antique shops, country shops, etc. along the way, let me know. I think I might get Skype to keep in touch.Ellie's Country Accentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12598304256301364174noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100429383612718490.post-37778367505105885902012-01-31T18:26:00.000-08:002012-01-31T18:26:08.138-08:00GREAT FIND<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JmvwdbVgt58/TyigjZihy1I/AAAAAAAAATU/dJXSvms5xCs/s1600/Iain%252C+Emma+Cutter+Quilts+026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JmvwdbVgt58/TyigjZihy1I/AAAAAAAAATU/dJXSvms5xCs/s320/Iain%252C+Emma+Cutter+Quilts+026.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Also 2 Thimbleberries patterns for 50 cents. I also found 3 jackets of 100% wool ( red, tan and purple) and a soft gray wool skirt. I'll be taking them apart to use in applique.

It has been a tough year for me. My hubby passed away Thanksgiving 2010. He had been ill for many years with dementia and other physical problems. He got to hold his 3 month old grandson for the first & only time that October. The look and happiness on his face is one memory I'll always remember. We had been married for 44 years. Your friendship has been a great help in getting me thru this year.<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to a better year in 2012 with my sons and grands. They are the light of my life. I can't wait to start crafting for the new year. I have lots of new ideas.<br />
<br />
My best wishes to all for a very healthy and Happy New Year.<br />
<br />

After hugging it she said "Now I'll always have Jack with me". It resides on her bed next to her favorite doll. <br />
<br />
Christmas was quiet but there's nothing like a 5 yr old at Christmas. Already have pics of my 18 mo.old GS on Christmas morning. He looked a little overwhelmed, but quietly went from one item to another.<br />
<br />
