I've shopped for gifts, I've wrapped gifts, I've baked cookies, I've decorated the tree and the house ... inside and out, I've been to the market (a couple of times!) for preparations for Christmas dinner, our girls are home from college for a nice long break, and now I'm ready to sit and enjoy! I hope you're ready too.
Just a few hours ago I finally finished stitching a small gift for my sister ... I was almost finished with it early last week when as I was hurrying to complete a few errands, I fell on a patch of ice ... my feet just went out from under me ... and I landed hard on my behind. **Ouch**Ouch**Ouch**! In addition to a sore tailbone, I also bruised/sprained/did something to the middle finger on my stitching hand! It's still a little swollen and still a little stiff, but after a few of days of ibuprofen, I was at least able to hold my stitching needle again and muddle my way through to finish the gift ... arrrrggghh ... winter weather!
But it's now finished ... Prairie Schooler's 2010 Santa ... with a few changes!
I like him ... and I think he looks quite charming hanging around my house!! My sister enjoys cross-country skiing ... I hope she likes him too!
So that's it ... 'Cross-Country Skiing Santa' ... the last gift to be wrapped.
Wishing everyone a Christmas season full of peace and love, may we all be blessed in the New Year! I'll end this post with the photo from our annual Christmas card ... two of my greatest blessings ... our daughters!
Merry Christmas!

Thank you for this beautiful post and you have been really doing great things with your blog, Did anyone here know that medical scientists have discovered a new way to battle hiv aids by using a man called dr itua. My name is Maria Lucia from California.i saw a comment on positive blogs and i will love to tell everybody how my status changes to negative and i got cured, and am now a living witness of it and i think it's a shame on me if i don't share this lovely story with other people infected with this deadly virus. hiv has been ongoing in my family, i lost both parents to hiv. and it is so much pain I've not been able to get over. As we all know medically there is no solution to it..and medication is very expensive..so someone introduced me to a herbal practitioner in africa, i had a job there to execute so i took time to check out on him.i showed him all my tests and results. I was already disorganized with hiv and it was already taking its toll on me..
ReplyDeleteI had spent thousands of dollars so I decided to try him out. Although I didn't believe in it, I was just trying it out of frustration? and after 14 days, he told me to go for a medical test. and you won't believe that 5 different doctors confirmed that I am negative..it was like a dream,,I never believed hiv has a cure..am now negative, am a living witness..i don't know how to thank this man? I just want to help others in any way I can. I have joined many forums and have posted these testimonies and a lot of people have emailed and called this man on the phone and after 14 days they all confirmed negative. BBC news took it live and everybody saw it and it's now out in papers and magazines that there is a herbal cure for HIV and all with the help of this man, if you wish to take it or not.god knows i have tried my best. About 28 people have been confirmed negative through the herbal cure of dr itua and they send mails to thank me after they have been confirmed negative,,this man is real..don't miss this chance,,hiv is a deadly virus,,get rid of it now. if there is anyone who has similar problem and still looking for a way out, his email still remains drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call or whatsapp him on +2348149277967 doctor itua can as well cure the following disease:- hiv/aids, herpes,cancer, als,hepatitis b,diabetes or visit his herbs store https://drituaherbalcenter.com/shop/
