Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve Party was so much fun. Doug, Jenny and Summit found the treasure box filled with more chocolate than Heaven would allow. We were a party of 21 wonderful souls that love each other. It was cold and windy and snow falling as the house was bright with Laughter, too much food, children ready for all the games, presents, and lots of love. It is wonderful when we are all together, so different are we all, but when together it is like a patch work quilt, somehow it all comes together and is just Beautiful. Merry Christmas!
More pictures to come....

The back and front of the charm I made for my sister Sharon. She loves Butterflies and she is a Virgo. E-mail was a gift from her along time ago. She introduced it to me with my first computer, she brought it to me. Click on picture to see them better. This is the back and front of my friend Brenda's charm. She had me make it for her little Great Niece that is fighting Leukemia. Brooklyn is not 3 yet. We have hope that she will be well.

I'm good to go!

Thank Goodness you can craft sitting down, so I got a lot done while healing. I cleaned some yesterday...it was good. The doctor said I had sprained my foot, but nothing broken. Thank you for your notes, I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. Wrapped it up like a mummy.Why did I fall in the first place. Just not paying attention, and a 4 inch step. Now the battle of the itchie scab. It's big! It is going to start snowing tomorrow night. Looks like a big storm coming down from Alaska....Too Cold. Is it me? Or did Christmas come fast this year. So much to do, so little time.
I hope your all having a wonderful Holiday season. It was so good to find you all on my blog...what would I do without your support? Stay safe and watch your step!!!!! Hugs, Mary

Big Girls Don't Cry!

It was a beautiful day.....a soft breeze with the blue sky. I am very busy gathering Christmas gifts. The bead store is in down town Nampa, little cute shops. I looked at every little bead looking for the perfect pink for my Granddaughters charm....said my good-bye to the little shop owner...and hurried out the old glass door. The next thing I knew everything was heading for the ground....down like a rock on the cement was this person, MEEEEEE! All I could think of was.....Did anyone see me! I couldn't see anyone, they could have been hiding behind tree's...Yikes. Getting up was even worse....but I managed to do it knowing I must have looked like a Beetle on it's back!!!! Did I break anything? Nothing but my pride....in my car I tried to figure out how hurt I was...as I drove home the pain started. But I could move, so I will be fine.
As I began to get out of my car, it was clear that I had made a mess of me. I hobbled on one foot up the path to my back door, and realized my knee was bleeding.....I hurt all over. After a pain pill and some TLC from Arney, I thanked God and any support group that would help me, that I would walk again....all is well, but sore as H***! Hobbler!
