The last year has been so crazy. There have been many ups and many downs, but boy oh boy did it end AMAZINGLY!
My husband and I were able to provide our children a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS, and in this year of MAJOR FINANCIAL ISSUES, that was a huge blessing.
My husband and I were able to purchase little things for each other, too, and that was an unexpected treat.
I received some wonderful gifts from unexpected sources, as well.
As you may remember from this post, I was participating with a TON of other people in a fun game of holiday bingo. Well, to my extreme surprise, I won one of the daily prizes…and guess what it was? One of these:

I. CAN’T. WAIT!!!!!
Then there was another little fun post that you may remember here. Well again to my major major major surprise, I was chosen by “santa” for another amazing giveaway. I won the Stella Blue Kit…(see my name is on it and everything!) And here’s another pic from her blog…showing all the gorgeous fabric included in this kit…
My sister sent me this lovely Jelly Roll for Christmas…she knows me so well :)
(this picture is from here…so it’s just a picture…not the ACTUAL one that I got. Also…she’s having a HUGE sale right now…so head on over…QUICKLY!!!)
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Christmas so wonderful! We love you all!!!
