Totally Blown away!!!

Ok guys...you have got to listen to me "gush" for a bit as I totally believe in letting someone that took time to send me something know that I truly appreciate their time/thoughtfulness/and effort put into any gift I receive :)
I honestly do not know what to say. The doorbell rang and it was our mail lady with an armful of packages and they were all for me from some of the SWEETEST and DEAREST ladies I know :) WOW! To say I am overwhelmed is an understatement :)
These ladies are so special to me and their friendships are enough for me but they sent LOVELY and thoughtful gifts for Christmas and I can't thank you all enough. WOW!!

From Julianne, the most gorgeous stitched tree EVER!!! I am just totally blown away by it-it's just perfect in every way!! It will always have a place of honor in my home. Thank you so very much my dear friend!!


From dear Amy-such a SPECIAL treat as she knows what a bird lover I am and I just ADORE this pillow-BEEutiful work Amy. AND those yummy fabrics and buttons! OVERWHELMED again :) Thank you so much dear friend!


From Melissa-Oh she knows me well and sent me the cutest pattern or a pumpkin doll to make and adorn my house this coming Halloween :) I just love it and it instantly made me smile when I opened it, Melissa :) Thank you so much my friend :) You're a doll!!


And last but certainly not least-one of my oldest and dearest online friends, Jan sent me all these LOVELY gingerbread items! Oh my friend I am overjoyed with your thoughtfulness and love each one and can't wait to get off here and go put them put in the house. WOW!! Thank you so much dear friend!!


I feel so blessed to call these ladies friends and even though they sent me some of the most gorgeous gifts-I would love them anyway if they never sent me a thing. I am BLESSED daily by them all :)
Emails headed your way friends :)

SILLY me fell this morning on some ice while taking my dogs out and hurt my ribs, back and hip...not gonna let it spoil my holidays though :) I would appreciate any prayers you can spare that I heal soon.

Thank you for visiting :) I appreciate your visits so much!
hugs and love from SC :)

Lovely presents for a lovely person -yes I am a lurker and appreciate all you do for the stitching community.
I am curious as to the pattern Julianne used for her beautiful piece - it's lovely and I would love to stitch it.

Susan said...

Becky, I hope that you are taking care of yourself after your fall. Hot shower and advil every 3 hrs (yes I know it sounds like a lot but recommended by ortho MD after surgery) for the first days then as needed. Don't exceed the max!

Happy Stitching!
be careful out there!

Lisa V said...

Such lovely gifts your friends sent to you Becky.
Fingers crossed you are not sore for too long. Ouch!

Laura said...

Becky,
One Bible verse comes to my mind, "A generous woman shall prosper" and you are certainly living out that verse. See how loved you are! Beautiful gifts-love the gingerbread and the tree. May you prosper even more Becky and I pray that your back heals quickly. Falling on ice isn't so nice! Prayers, love, and hugs to you.

Lynn said...

Roberta said...

Becky, do hope the aches and pains fade quickly and that there are no broken or sprained muscles.

Sorry about losing someone dear in your family. A sad thing at this time of year.

Love all your little gifties your received and love what you made for your Mom.

Happy Holidays.

Sherry said...

Becky, those are lovely and wonderful gifts. As I always say, stitchers and quilters are the most thoughtful people.

So sorry you fell. I know the feeling as I recently had a bad fall. If you continue to hurt, be sure to have it checked out. You never know if something is cracked or splintered.

Carol R said...

Carol R said...

I hit the publish button before saying 'get well soon'!

Jan said...

Oh such lovely gifts you have pictured!! Love the tree, and the bird pillow, both just really precious!!

Surely hope you, after a day or two of rest, feel yourself again! Spills, especially on ice, really hurt, poor BEE!!!

Hi Becky, I have admired your blog and your work for a long time...you are so inspiring...I also hope you are mending-my prayers are with you.
I have a question about the TREE ornament from Julianne...is it an original design or a design that I can purchase? Take care, and Happy New Year, Mary Ellen
