quilter's group gift exchange

 

Merry Christmas!
Not sure where I got this picture of the cardinal but I love it.  We don't see birds or snow covered branches around here so it's nice to see them in pictures.                                                           
Been busy as everyone has, getting gifts and decorations ready for Christmas and enjoying meeting up with others to enjoy the          season.                                                                                  
Our quilter's group met Monday evening for a dinner of soup and desserts to exchange gifts for the quilter who's name we             drew.  The gifts I received were very fun! In addition to a Ball jar filled with Hershey's kisses :-) I opened a package with especially warm and soft socks that actually somehow have a layer of lotion in there to soften your feet while you wear them. I don't really feel the lotion but I wear them to bed to keep my feet warm and magically, I must say, my feet feel softer in the morning. Amazing and cozy!                                                                               
 And this adorable little quilt welcome wall hanging was specially made for my home at the beach. Very fun colors and very beach cottage.

  6. I love cardinals. We see them more in the winter than summer which seems strange.
    Oh, such a sweet wallhanging.
