I received the most fantastic treat in the mail today! I am the extrememly lucky recipient of this stunning, delicate and perfectly stitched little stocking ornament made by Tracy! I am over the moon with it and just cannot wait until I can display it in about a month... thank you so much for this fantastic treat! (This was for the Christmas Ornament Swap. run by BeckySC)...
And, I really need to say thank you to all of you who sent such kind words and condolences to Mike and I regarding the sudden passing of his father last week. I know I have not been around the blogs or stitching groups much at all lately. Life took such an unexpected turn for me in 2009. I have felt so detached from this world of stitching and stitching bloggers, and for a while I was so depressed over it that I pulled back even further. It warmed my heart more than any of you can imagine to know that so many of you took just a moment to let us know you care. Thank you - I cherish you. Even those who did not stop by, you are forever in my thoughts. {{HUGS}}

That ornament is just the prettiest thing - so dainty and beautifully stitched. I can imagine how absolutely thrilled you were to receive it. I hope that the rest of '09 and '10 will be much better years for you!
I love Tracy's skinny stocking...so cute! Lucky you.
My condolences on your recent family loss. I know how fast stage 4 lung cancer moves...tomorrow will be 10 years since we lost Mom...and she didn't tell us how bad it was until she was hospitalized.
Stay well!
A delightful ornament from Tracey.
I hope next year will bring better luck. You certainly deserve it.

The road life takes us down is sometimes a windy, bumpy trail. I hope that the miles ahead are smooth and straight so you can regain your bearings. Sending along healing, loving thoughts.
