The Lunch Pail Tin Patti made for me, Wow

As you can see that beautiful tin was made for me by Patti Senter, she was my Secret Santa over at Your Paper Pantry, how pretty is that, and she made it just for me, can you imagine receiving that in a surprise package in the mail. Your Paper Pantry is a website with the greates women exchange swaps of color, charms, layouts, supplies, all sorts of things, and we receive some of the most beautiful things in the mail, I absolutely love it. Our secret santa was so much fun, we did not know who had our name until our package arrived in the mail. When I opened this beautiful Tin Pail that Patti made for me I was so stunned and so happy I just kept looking at it over and over. This along with some wonderful stamps, glimmer mists and other great things was one of the best gifts ever. Thank you so much Patti Senter.

A Photo of Wonderful Things from My Secret Santa

Here are just a few of the things I received from My Secret Santa, Patti Senter, I loved all of them, what a wonderful supply of goodies.

I have been MIA

Well a lot has happened in my life and I have not been on for a while, Just to update, my Husband has been very ill, He had a brain tumor which the Doctors operated on in Tucson, Az. It was a long surgery but the doctors feel confident that it was a success. There were some little feelers in it that they didn't get all out, therefore, he will be having radiation therephy every day for 5 weeks and chemo also. The Doctors said that it could not be cured but it can be controlled and we are very confident that he will recover from this process. He is a very strong man with a big heart. After treatment he will return to Tucson for another MIA and another visit with his surgeon to see where we go from there. I want to thank everyone for all the prayers sent to us and all the positive thoughts, they really do help and are appreciated very much.

Very Good Week

I have just had one of the best weeks that I have had in a very long time. My son came from Phoenix to visit for the first time in several years, lives get so busy all we do sometime is get to visit on the phone. My daughter and her husband came from Tucson with their two dogs who are always welcome. So, the first time in years I had all three of my children here at the same time, WOW was I so happy. I really enjoyed the visiting and we didn't have to cook all the time they were here, another good thing, we had take outs and went out to eat, and on Saturday my wonderful granddaughter's husband barbecued for us, how nice is that. Then on Saturday night we had a bonfire and had smores, haven't had those in way to many years. My daughter Diane lives here next to me, I only have1 granddaughter, 1 grandson and 1 great grandson and every one was here, so what do you do when you have the whole family together, take pictures so I hope you enjoy the pictures to follow of my beautiful and wonderful family, I love you all so much.
