I need to post a couple of long-overdue thank you's............


First, I won a delightful giveaway from dear Miss Sandy from Quill Cottage following her "Easter Parade"............ I was the lucky, lucky winner of these sweet lovelies:






I know, I know~ aren't they just the cutest?? She is so very talented, just look at those adorable tags! I just love them, and it was my very first Bloggy~Win, and here I neglected to give her the proper thank you! Uh, sometimes I am so scatter-brained~ I am so sorry Miss Sandy, but thank you oh so, so much, I am keeping them out all year, not just at Easter time because they are so darling I love looking at them! Thank you!!!




And, I also need to thank my Flirty Apron Swap partner, Heather....... she sent me this gorgeous Flirty apron...............


So, so pretty, and I especially love the pocket, with the pretty crocheted flower on it, which looks to be "vintage" to me......... I just love it.......... Thank you so much Heather, I love it!!
I am so sorry ladies, for being remiss in posting a proper thank you to you both, I really do treasure your gifts! Thank you, thank you!!

Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life. Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.
