there was a sweater:
cookies:
and a quilt:
my mom - she's a keeper.
she also sent me this wonderful sweater awhile ago, I just hadn't gotten a chance to photograph it:
the earrings I'm wearing are hard to see but they're really lovely. they were made by my niece lily & given to me for xmas.
wearing something handmade by a loved one is like wearing a hug!
is that hokey? I don't care if it is...that's how it feels to me :)
