About Me

I am recently retired and now have the time to truly stop and "smell the roses"! I was diagnosed with both breast and kidney cancers eleven years ago. What an adventure that was! Early detection saved my life and I have much to be thankful for. I am quite fond of unique and antique items. More often than not I will find something interesting at an antique mall, flea market, or garage sale that will call out to me. I've purchased a multitude of dustable "treasures" that way. I enjoy decorating for all holidays, but Halloween is my favorite. I like to do counted cross stitch on aged linen using reproduction sampler patterns and/or primitive charts. I'm a big fan of note papers, ribbons, and vintage stickers, too.

Comment: I'm saving my gifts to open on Christmas day but I already know that you deserve a heart based on your lovely letter. My condolences to you on the loss of your sweetheart. No matter how long you have together it's never enough time is it? I make Christmas cards for everyone on my list whether they appreciate the craft or not! LOL Wishing you a peaceful holiday.
Response: I'm pleased to know that you like what you have seen so far. I enjoyed putting your parcel together and look forward to a possible heart. I admire your ability to wait until Christmas before opening it though. I'm afraid that I'm not that strong willed! Happy holidays to you and yours.
