Happy New Year!!!!!

I wish all of you a very Happy New Year...I have had a wonderful year of blogging...I just started this in Nov 2010...met many wonderful friends here.  The year is going to be a busy one; I think...things I have already committed to...lol.  Sometimes I wonder if we take on too much.  But,hey...we only live once; right??

I have had the flu bug for the past few days...starting to feel better this morning.  So; looking forward to the next week; has to be better...lol.  New Year's Eve(tonight); will be quiet for us; since I have been under the weather. 

Take care and enjoy your celebrations where ever you maybe.!!!!!!

Nice surprise!!

I have lost all track of time during the holidays.  Today; not thinking about getting mail at all...I was really surprised to receive my bundle from the Art Gallery Quilts....

Thank you Art Gallery...love it!!!

A Baby Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to get in here before my family all arrive......my darling hubby was really paying attention this year.
He gave me a Baby Go and a couple of dies and a mat for Christmas....oh my!!!! I couldn't believe  it...he knows I have been entering all the giveaways; trying to win one...

Ok..enough of me gloating over my gift.....I was so excited!! Have a wonderful day with your families...

Ok....getting excited now!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone of my friends in blogland.  I know; I said it before,but I had to come back.
I baked most of the day today; loved it too.  Tomorrow we celebrate with hubby's side of the family with a large pot luck supper....and drinks....is always very nice.

Then Christmas day with our sons and their families.  I am so very anxious...for all the hugs and kisses
from my little men. We are finally getting a nice snowfall today and tonight...and is suppose to stay cold.
So; it should stay for Christmas!!!!!! It is so very pretty right now; with all the lights in our yard against the snow....I wish I had taken a picture....maybe I'll get that done tomorrow....

Anyway; I am off to shower, and sit back with a lovely glass of red wine; feet up. Have a wonderful Christmas.

I feel so lucky

The Christmas blog hop has been so much fun....it took a lot of time and reading to get through all of the blogs. But was so very interesting...and I am now following some more wonderful people and their adventures.  And picked up a few new followers myself....which I deeply appreciate.

Something else I really appreciate are the prizes....I have won as of today; a jelly roll, a fat quarter bundle....a surprise gift....can't wait it see these gifts. It is so very exciting to read the blogs and receive gifts from friends...

I want to thank everyone so very much.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

It seems a bit odd not having posted for so long.  I am in here everyday reading though, I just haven't been working on my quilts for the past week or so...it will be after New Year when I get back into the swing of it.
I wanted to wish all of my friends here a very Merry Christmas and the best in 2012.

I noticed that I have a few new followers....I greatly appreciate that...and I will make sure you have something to read about and look at before too long...and I hope all of you will take the opportunity to have a peek at my other website....Shepodys Quilter...that will give you an idea of what keeps me busy at home.
Ok.....between blogging and tea breaks..hahaha.

For now; I have a picture of the quilt that I hand quilted for a lady. I am sure she won't mind me showing it to you...I have another to do for her later on...she is now second on the list when I get back to it.

We went to one of our grandsons first hockey tournaments yesterday.  He is 5 years old...it was the cutest thing ever!!!! He is in the red; waiting anxiously for that puck coming his way...lol.

Take care over the holidays everyone
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!
