Star: Thanks. I had my grandchildren in mind when I came up with my signature.

Nope! I showed great restraint. I just took the picture and will hold off on opening it until Saturday morning. My best friend is coming from out-of-town for a vist tonight, so she along with DH will keep me honest. But I may be up at 5:30 am tomorrow opening it. I'll be sure to take pictures and post them as soon as I can.

I was thinkinh 12:01! but 5:30 works! Have a good visit!

How I envy people with self-restraint. When you were a kid, didn't you ever snoop around the house looking for hidden Christmas presents?

Hmmmmmm, if we are still up at 12:01. . .

No Way! I believed that Santa would know! I also had the fear of my father if I were to get caught. I like the building of anticipation waiting, waiting, and the finally, I'll get to open it.

How great!!!! Wow...we have some of the best angels on this board!

Part Two...of my SQA....Miss Wings

Here are my lovely gifts from her.

The first photo shows my kitchen towels, you can see them on the oven door.

Aren't the sweetheart fabrics just wonderful!!!!

And all the candies...the ghirardelli are MY FAVORITES so far.

I have yet to open the candy box!

Can you see two pink books, one is a journal, I think I will start to keep a record of my thoughs over the next 12 months, what I am thinking as I make my blocks and quilt.

Now to the serious business, the quilt magazine, I love it.
You can't see the title....but it reads "CUT AND SWAP, fat quarter play"...that is just for me.

One more thing, Miss Wings gave me a very sweet chain book mark..it reads "hope"....

I "hope" one day to make a quilt that is a blue ribbon winner.


Miss Wings you deserve your wings. You are a very loving and encouraging angel.

Thank you.

Cool Darlene! Those towels look nice on your oven :D

I received a very special valentine from my angel today, not only was it very beary cute but it came 'sweet' with 3 little kit-kat's enclosed...YUMMY! and a note about more gifts...on the way...(the gift from Connecting Threads) has also been received, it came a couple days ago, and really had me confused...when the heck did i order this???
