Kathryn spoils me

Yesterday not one but 2 packages arrived from Wales. After I had sent her her Gingerbreat teapot and cookie jar, with the fabric for sunbonnet sue swap plus a couple postcards (and surprises)

Well package one took me forever to go thru so I will start with Package 2

Delia Smith's - Christmas cookbook, I have had a ball going thru it, but it will take time.

Package 2 -- oh wow -- first
Delia Smith's Summer cookbook, we found sooooooooooo many recipes for next summer
A magazine I haven't been all the way thru yet
2 Welsh mini cookbooks and a Welsh tray and the kicker is the Delia Smith's Feast of Advent

Well, let me tell you, I love cookbooks I truly love them and don't cook lol (I can cook, but well someone else is a better cook)

The Feast of Advent will be used in December and January. What a tremendously awesome gift.

I love my cookbooks, but Kathryn knew the Feast of Advent would absolutely be my favorite. I have started reading it and will be sharing it with others.


Wow, it will take me time to properly savor the cookbooks, to mark recipes to be tried, and to learn so very very much especially about Mince Meat Pies

How blessed I am today

Life is Good

Last night late, my cousin called. Oh my had not talked to Wayne since the 60s, visited online, but wow, what a privilege to talk with my cuz -- and it won't be the last time lol

This morning, I got up, started getting packages ready to mail. The thimble swap went to Cath in Australia and I got things gathered up to send to Kathryn in Wales

She knows for sure she is getting fabric and part of her gingerbread set lol, but other than that, well, gee, Kathryn you will have to wait

Took Cath's package, got it in the mail, then went out to Laughing Quilters, was welcome with open arms, and ate lunch with them visited, caught up on goings ons.

My Yahoo group - quiltersaccess is starting a 12 month swap - Sunbonnet Sue. I am so excited, so ready to do this, and will have others locally joining in which makes it even more exciting.

With Kathryn as a swapper, we are learning about Wales and the UK what an opportunity to learn and do Sue in UK style. I am so very blessed with friends in great places

Saw a saying on Facebook:

LOST? TRY GPS -- GOD'S PLAN for SALVATION

Have a beautiful blessed weekend, I will have Jenna, Connor and Kaitlyn from after Church til sometime Monday evening -- might even take them to the zoo not in this heat
