Christmas Gifts

I always enjoy surprises in the mail. For Christmas I received some really nice gifts from some special people.
This first photo is from Stephanie. She knows how much I love wooden spools. She also sent a piece of vintage Christmas fabric. I love the kids on the stairs
Jocelyn sent some sweet goodies too. Check out the stylish pins in the red fabric.
 My kids asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I requested the two first books. So many pretty things to make in both of them. Mary also sent me a book. (far right) I want to make just about everything in this book too. Think good thoughts for Mary. She is having sinus surgery tomorrow.
And last but not least this pincushion. Candace made it with my blog name on it. It is so special but all the gifts are very special and very thoughtful. I thank you all for thinking of me.

With Passion and a Thankful Heart,
Carrie P.

What lovely gifts you received, I can see you getting a lot of enjoyment out of them. I love the idea of doing that on a pincushion - I hope Candace wont mind if I borrow her idea?! - I'll pop over to her and ask :-)
