Simple Things Mean So Much
I gave my mom the quilt today and she loved it! She even got a little choked up. I didn't expect that. But, we've had a tough year with the loss of three uncles, a cousin (her nephew,) and her brother has been in the hospital for weeks. When things like that happen, we tend to look at life a little differently, family means more and so do the little things...like a kitty quilt. My dad's eyes watered up when he opened the gift I gave to him. It was a picture frame with three pictures from a recent visit from his sister which I just found last year after losing contact for decades. It was a good Christmas!

That is so wonderful. It's always the best when the recipients love the gift. I'm playing with my new iPad. ;-) Merry Christmas!

Great gifts!
Karen, double post! Very lucky, go buy a lottery ticket!
Aww, that is just too sweet! I jumped over to your previous post to see the pics. It is adorable!
Such wonderful gifts for your parents-- the quilt you made is lovely - I'm sure your Mother is thrilled with your gift of heart. It's hard to watch our parents grow older and be saddened by the loss of family. I hope this new year is full of rich blessings for you all.
