Beautiful Cards And One Special Ornament

December 22, 2009

Good afternoon!! Yup, it's afternoon. Tootsie and I slept late today, and then I read my emails and worked on today's freebie. As most of you know, I have a very special daughter who lives in a nursing facility. To be exact, Seven Hills of Groton (Massachusetts). You will have to look far and wide to find another facility that equals the quality of care that is given at Seven Hills. We are very fortunate that our Laura Jean is able to live there.

Which brings me to my new ornament. From time to time, the staff at Seven Hills sends me photographs showing Laura Jean at her day to day activities. A few days ago, they sent me a new ornament for my tree. These ornaments are made by the residents in one of their craft classes. I've made a layout to go with my beautiful new ornament.






















This year, I have received so many beautiful cards, so I've taken photos to show some of them off. I was going to put a lot of them on the wall, but instead, I've sprinkled some in between gifts , and placed others on the TV console.

There are more, but I think I will have to put them on the wall first, then take more photos. Yesterday, the mailman brought several packages too. Wow!!! You'd think it was Christmas around here!!! Duh, Edna! It is!!!!!

There were gifts from my children, my friend Mary Ann, and Snowy. Mercy me, so many packages to put under the tree. This year I have to work on Christmas Day, so we will be celebrating on Christmas Eve. I'm like a little kid giddy with excitement. Just can't wait for Santa to get here. (Oh yeah! Tootsie and I have been very good, so he will surely put a little something under the tree for us!)

I do have more photos to share, but they can wait for another day. Your freebie today is the matching QP for today's layout. I've changed the ornament that is being hung to make it more personal for you. Enjoy, and Y'all have a really great day now.

Hugs, Edna B.
