Humbled

I cannot convey to you all what we have been going through for 2 months now. I have never felt so much stress in my life and it continues. On top of everything else going on..Yesterday my dad left work early in severe pain-you have to know him to know that is not the normal for him. He works no matter what. He has an appointment with his doctor on Monday morning to determine what is going on. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers along with many other family members that need your prayers.
I am sorry for my absence-I have had so many email inquiring about me-I just have no desire to blog right now-it's not that I lost my blogging mojo-it's actually the stress and a time management thing with all that has been going on.

I came today to say THANK YOU to several great friends that have sent gifts in the past couple of weeks...I am SO VERY HUMBLED by your thoughtfulness. Truthfully your gifts could not have come at a better time in my life. You brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart-thank you all so very much :)
In no particular order here are the gifts :)

From Myra :)
A WONDERFUL patriotic tomato and the CUTEST mini bundt pan that she says I will find the perfect finishing for :) Thank you my friend, I just LOVE your gifts :)


From Shay :)
Look at this adorable Gingerbread train and holiday fabric!! TOO Adorable and I look forward to adding the train to my gingerbread display this Christmas :) Thank you dear Shay-LOVE THEM!!


From Ellen S :)
A wonderfully patriotic primitive bag that arrived in time for the 4th :) I just love it Ellen and it still hangs on my tree which has yet to be redone with other displays :)



From Lisa P :)
Look at this beauty!! I just love it and it's so me! Thank you so very much, Lisa-it was incredibly sweet of you :)




And last but certainly not least from Faye :)
A GORGEOUS pin pillow (you all know my love for those), some pins made by Faye and the coolest summer pot mitt! Thank you so very much dear Faye! BEEUTIFUL!!


I am truly touched by each of your gifts and was so surprised when they arrived in my mailbox-my apologies for being so long in posting-but I hope you can understand my circumstances!

Until I can return...
Love and hugs from SC,
BeckySC

I do hope that your Dad is okay and feeling better. That his leaving work was nothing serious. I so understand the worry involved when one of our parents take ill. Been there. Done that.

Your postings are missed but the most important thing is that you take care of yourself. Be well and come back when you can. Know that you are missed.
