Here is one more very SPECIAL gift that new dear friend made just for me and I will hold it dear to my heart and NEVER forget that Faye made this with love. Every stitch was made with LOVE. Faye I have to say when I opened it I did cry but happy tears .
Look at Faye's work....

Isn't her work FAB-U-LOUS!!!!Here is the back, she even signed it and dated it too..

 Here is where I put it..

Primtastic...thank you Faye so much for this amazing gift that you made with your own hands and with every stitch you thought of me. Today I feel on top of the world and my husband saw it when he got home from work and he even was touched that there are still people out there with such HUGE hearts and you are one of them, my Angel!
Merry Christmas Friend and another BIG THANK YOU!!! XOXOX!

Christmas Blessings and see you next year,

Christmas lights and some Christmas tweaking

Hi my Prims,
I wanted to show you all a few pictures of some tweaking I did with my Christmas decor. You all know how it is, you place something and you leave it there for a few days to a week and YEP you change it!

Here are a few shots I took......

I bought to different colors of theses and I put one here and the other one is in the main bathroom.

What

you see on top is the candle jar the says sugar bread, well that I removed and replaced it because I made some jars with prim labels...

Then I added my prim candy canes, small candles that hook on the tree.

Here is my kitchen sill I put a prim jar there as well...

I LOVE the old Santa, Saint Nick!!!!

Here is another display I did in the kitchen..

SEE my new snowmen picture in the background, I took the another sign down and bought this and will keep it up until the end of Jan. I LOVE this picture, and I think the display came out primtastic!

Here is our manger on our mantle.

Another old Santa.

And another Santa that I LOVE!

A closer look that is next to the Santa!

A cute snowman and a stitchery in the back that has a saying and the next picture you will be able to read it....

Some VERY long prim stockenings on my apple ladder in the livingroom!

Another change I did in the kitchen...

I also changed this I had a decoration that said JOY but I love the prim snowman here instead.

Some of you know I received a friendship pakage fro Robyn and she made this snowman stitchery for me and I forgot to take a picture of it so here it is, in our bedroom. I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!

Outside looking in. This is my office window with my Christmas tree in the window.When you come down our street it is so pretty to see all 4 windows including the bedroom window all with lights and the candles in the center!

There is my Hubby's office with his colored Christmas tree, he LOVES it!!!
Again outside looking in.

He has 2 window's in his office.

Here is a shot of the livingroom durning the day.

Here is where Hubby and I went to see the Christmas lights. We didn't go far because alot of you know by now I am not feeling well.

My wonderful, loving husband!

Here we are Mr. & Mrs. Hillcrest, LOL!
We didn't stay long because my legs were very weak walking I even fell when I went down on my knees to pray. Hubby said he saw me going down in slow motion while he was taking pictures and I went flat on my back and very dizzy, so we headed home.
I got my PJ's on and went to bed.
In the morning still very weak,and still sick to my stomache, but that the name of the game. I have lost alot of weight but NOT the way I wanted too.

On a good note I did some baking yesterday..

These are Choc. cookies with homemade frosting and candy canes crushed up for the topping and I did make buckeye Chocolates but my family ATE them all, If I am feeling up to it I will make 2 dozen of them because you can freeze them!!!!
Thank you all that are praying for me!!!!!
Christmas Blessings,
Tricia
