Catching Up - A Couple Gifts I Got

Two wonderful bloggie-friends sent me some much-appreciated gifties at Christmas! I'm just now getting around to posting again since I got a new camera and getting the pics uploaded and then into Picassa and back to Windows is a nuisance, but it's the only way things will work now - funny how an additional step just makes my feet drag, getting things posted! Anyways, the wondrful AwtemNymf sent me THREE books! A total surprise to me! And the biggest surprise is that I didn't already HAVE any of them (because I'm a book-a-holic). These books are non-fattening, and they just might lighten my WALLET a bit if I think I "need" more fabric, LOL! (Sorry the pic is so fuzzy...still getting used to the new camera.)

And here's a peek at what my friend, Aunt Pitty Pat, sent me - yummm! Of course, I took this picture awhile ago (like the day they came). The tin is empty. The bags are empty. Uhhhh....gee, I wonder where the Chex Mix went? :-) Shall I blame Miss Piggy? And Diesel? Naw...I have to admit, I ate every bite...I LOVE Chex Mix but only if someone ELSE makes it. I'm a really good cook, but there are a couple of things that just taste better if someone else does the work, and Chex Mix is one. She also sent me a beautiful heart necklace that I've worn many times already! Thanks again, APP! I love both these special ladies :-)
