Amy received 2 little tiny books of ephemera for her collage making and a package of napkins with gingko leaves on them. She loves gingko trees. I received these 2 tubes of my favorite lip balm in the Strawberry Sorbet flavor which I have never had before.....yum!
I received a pattern I bought....Thomas the turkey cross stitch by Notforgotten Farm.....it was on sale for a good price and has been on my "to purchase" list so, for a sale price I couldn't see waiting. Lori Holt just finished this and it was darling! I love that about cross stitch....if you love something in the photo you will adore it after it is stitched up! It always looks better stitched.
I found this picture on Instagram and oh be still my beating heart! I love the coziness and my favorite green color!
I will be showing you some Christmas books. I have not read these just "pinned" them but I like reading holiday specific books leading up to the holiday and beyond...........this one looked good!
Today was Walmart shopping and I think I am set to get through the holidays now. That's about all I accomplished today besides regular daily chores. I hope you had a nice day and have an enjoyable Friday night!
Here's a little holiday humor......
I think the bird may be a brown thrasher.

Thank you!!! I'll check that site!
DeleteIndeed it is a brown thrasher! I love that site because you can listen to their song too!
DeleteWell, now Connie mentioned a red sparrow and it looks like it could be that one because mine doesn't have a long beak like the thrasher...it is more like the red sparrow. Who knew?
DeleteThe turkey cross stitch is cute. Now, the photo of the room....that feels so cozy and homey. I am not a green loving person but in that room it is perfect. It would be a perfect area to stitch or knit
ReplyDeleteIf you right click on a picture - like the bird - and then, when the menu opens, click on search google for image, you can generally find out what the picture is.
ReplyDeleteI will guess it is a Fox Sparrow:) He is pretty cute whatever he is! Hope you have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI like to read Christmas books in December, too! I have re-read some Lucy Stone mysteries by Lesley Meier, two by Valerie Wolzein and am finishing a Joanne Fluke! Two new ones I ordered on Ebay are sitting here and I like to re-read two favorites by Mary Kay Andrews: Blue Christmas and Christmas Bliss. I bet you would like all of them! Your gifts are so cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestions! I love Joanne Fluke for sure!
DeleteIt's funny, I have heard Lori Holt's name mentioned a few times on videos or blogs but just today I heard/saw her name at least 5-6 times on different videos and blogs. How funny is that?
ReplyDeleteI, too, love that room. It looks like such a cozy place to sit and knit or stitch.
Take care Sam!
Blessings,
Betsy
