Lori from Miry Clay ~ A Work In Progress. She has changed her blog to be private, so unless you are a friend of hers already, you won't be able to read her great blog.

Please remember Lori and her family at this time in your prayers. Her mother has passed away recently and I think it was rather sudden. Bobbie at Encouragement Along The Way can provide more information. Please take a few moments to read what Bobbie has said here.

I have a number of pictures to upload of all the wonderful gifts that Lori sent to me. I will get them posted for all to see what a great Secret Sister she was to me.

Just a quick moment while cooking dinner to shout out a Thank You to my Sweet "Strawberry" of a Secret Sister.  I have GOT to find my camera and share with you all in blogville the goodies I've received. Today brought an adorable little purse, kinda satiny feeling with an equally cute little teddy bear, strawberry lotion, mist and I even think lip gloss. Oh cool is that!!!

Okay back to dinner: Chicken Parmigiana, Spaghetti with Alfredo sauce and BROWNIES.  Today should definitely be a day to have dessert first ~ after all it is Valentine's Day ~ Chocolate Rules the day.

Thank you my sweet secret sister for all the goodies (calendar for keeping up on the family, a magazine about getting clutter outta here, and a Spiderman coloring book and washable markers for the boys). I apologize for not letting you know earlier this week, it's been crazy here. And your gift of the prayer shawl is definitely keeping me warm.  As soon as I can find my camera, I'll get some pictures for everyone to see.

Oh my Secret Sister is not only very, very sweet and thoughtful, but talented too. She has sent me a beautiful card and a wonderfully warm prayer shawl. Thank you so much. When I can find my camera (yes, it's lost in the clutter), I'll get a picture for you all to see what a wonderful Secret Sister I have!!!!  Many Blessing to YOU!!!

WOW ~~ look at what I received on Christmas Eve from my Sweet Secret Sister!!  A beautiful Merry Christmas card, a book called The Purpose for Everyday Living for Teachers and the newest issue of The Quilter magazine. WOW Thank you so very much. In a bit I'm going to have a cup of hot cocoa and retreat to my disaster area, ur my craft/quilt room, and enjoy reading a new magazine. Oh, and to dream of all those beautiful quilts.

Yesterday I received a package from my Sweet Secret Sister. Two beautiful Christmas hand towels and some cookie cutters. I know the boys will be excited about using those cookie cutters this week. Yum-OOOO. Unfortunately I only have time for this quick post. But later today I'll get a picture up of all the goodies. She was so thoughtful!!!  Thank you!!!

Update:  Finally uploaded the picture of my beautiful gift. Thank you Secret Sister!!!
