My son and DIL came from Colorado and installed a new ceramic tile kitchen floor for me!!!! Then when we pulled out the stove and dishwasher to put the floor down, they looked so bad (they are 18 yrs. old - came with the house) that DH decided we needed to get new - so --- I got new floor, dishwasher and stove - plus we removed the wallpaper and got one wall already repainted. Then DH scraped wallpaper from small half bath downstairs so I could paint and then decided we needed a new pedestal sink! So I'm a happy girl! It looks great!

when i was a little girl, i would always ask for "books, music, and nylons". i haven't changed much. i got books, music, and socks from the kids. (one son in law had literally been reading my amazon wish list!) add in special chocolate, a bottle of peach lambech, and some sought after movies, and you've got one spoiled lady. and hubby? he gave me a gun safe. not really very girlie--but it is something i've wanted for a long time! (it's made to look like an old fashioned safe, just like in the old cowboy movies--it speaks to the cowgirl in my soul, and it will make things a lot "safer" (no pun intended...) around here.)

I was lucky enough to get a Kindle from my DM, 3 new Pandora beads from my kids, a quilt kit from my in-laws(they let me shop for myself this year). Then I got a lovely surprise Christmas Eve - a Keurig from my in-laws and my DH says a chocolate diamond heart pendant is on its way and didn't mnake it in time for Christmas. Also my kids got an XBox Kinect and a Beatles Rockband - both sound like great ways to get the family having fun together!! So much to be thankful for this year!! All this and 15 inches of snow today - great family get togethers over the holiday weekend too - couldn't ask for more!

The most important things! 5 yard pieces of fabric, 5- 1/2 yard pieces of fabric, 8 fat quarters and 3 quilt magazines. My DH said I could start my own fabric shop. Of course he was including my stash as he said that. Can't wait to get started on new projects.

I got a lovely pair of diamond hoop earrings from Hubby, a charging dock for my iPhone from my D/SIL and some much needed bakeware from Son/DIL. My grand-daughter gave me two cherished days of time with her. It was a great Christmas. Everyone just left this evening and the house is soooo lonely!

I got a new sewing table for my machine,and it has drawers! I have not gotten it put together. I will need to use the front room but we are still having parties in the house. We have 3 of my young nieces here while their parents replace their kitchen floor. I also got a book I have been wanting. My brother gave mea gift certificate to Walmart! He is handicapped and doesn't understand quilting. I got some Fat Quarters, and money towards a mini laptop. I earned most of the money selling dolls.
But the best part was today when I got to watch my nieces and nephews open the presents I gave to them!
