Catching Up

Hi Again - Seems like I haven't written in months but it has only been three weeks. Let's see where to begin to catch up.

Who can resist a red package? Not me!!

Just before Mother's Day, I won Gerry's giveaway of her fantastic totebag collection. I saved the package until Mother's Day to open and then didn't have enough time left before leaving to show what was in the packages. At least I was able to send Gerry a quick note of appreciation and to share my excitement. As I told Gerry, 'the gifts just kept coming'.

Every time I opened a package, there was another one to open. I had as much fun as Christmas. They came just in time. This neat little collection became my travel 'kit' - held my sewing, my reading, and all the necessities for those cross country flights (bottle of water, candy bar).

The last little package was very special indeed to those of us who are Jane Austin fans.

I had to hide this one from both daughters or I would have lost it for sure.

Thank you Gerry so very much - you are a talented special lady. For the rest of you, be sure you check out her blog at www.gerryart.blogspot.com.

Our two weeks in San Diego were fantastic. We fell in love with the Little Miss all over again. She is an 18 month old barrel of energy who never stops. More about our trip in the next post. I am now in the process of catching up on reading all my back log of blogs. (I absolutely cannot miss reading a single one.) Tomorrow I am going to spend in my studio unpacking my new toy. I have had it for three weeks and it is not out of the box yet.

Hugs to all of you.
