Fall Intrigues Basket Swap

Hello All,

I wanted to share with all of
you today a recent swap I did
with my friend Melinda.
I joined Michele's "Fall
Intrigue Basket Swap"
and I was partnered with
Melinda.

We both received our baskets
from one another.
This  lovely basket is from
Melinda. It came wrapped
so sweetly as you can see.

Inside the green cellophane was
a Pumpkin Basket filled                                 
with such lovely items.

Melinda gave me a beautiful
metal leaf dish. Some yummy
chocolate almond caramel candy,
Fall and Halloween stickers.
A lovely net ribbon with brown
shabby Roses attached.
A package of Cinnamon
tea light candles, smells wonderful!
Last but not least the most lovely handmade
Quilted table topper made for
just for me by Melinda. Isn't it
gorgeous?


Thank you sweet Melinda for such lovely
Fall gifts. You have helped in brightening
up our home this fall season with your
kindness and generous spirit.
Thank you!!

Wishing All of you a splended
Fall Day where ever you live!!

Love to All,

Susan

    Wow, what a great basket you have received, so many wonderful items in it. Have fun finding uses for the stickers while you burn those scented candles. I love the fabrics she used in that lovely table topper. Great way to celebrate autumn, with a swap like this. Congratulations Susan!!

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
