Blog love and Gifts.

Today was a lovely day for me and I can't tell you how excited I was to have won these two fabulous giveaways. The postman coming twice in one day was wonderful!
Thanks very much to these two lovely Ladies for your kindness, friendship and blog love.

Nancy from tisdesignworksoriginals.blogspot.com gave me this wonderful Christmas stocking canvas and the Santa button that she has made. Go over and meet her and visit her shop and see all the lovely merchandise there.
I marvel at how very talented all my friends are and so kind and generous.

Thank you, also to Koralee for this lovely gift of a beautiful hand made rose bracelet.
I am really looking forward to wearing this.
Please go and visit, Koralee's blog at the link below ~
bluebirdnotes.blogspot.com as she always has so much joy and love to share.
If you would like your own gorgeous rose bracelet or other fabulous hand made gifts, go and visit Jessica at www.allorahandmade.bigcartel.com


Prince William is engaged. He proposed to longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton while on holiday in Kenya. Prince William gave Kate his Mother's Sapphire engagement ring.
Congratulations to them and may they have a happy life together.
Thank you for visiting me and my blog today and I hope that you are all having a happy week
Hugs
Carolyn

  11. Hi Carolyn,
    How nice, the post twice in one day! You really received some beautiful items, just perfect for you.

    Prince William & Kate are a lovely couple, I believe she will be Lady Kate? Can still remember watching Lady Di's wedding w/Prince Charles while we were on vacation in Hawaii (my mom woke us up so early ;) A little bittersweet Di isn't around to see her boys grown up. How wonderful William has grown up so properly though and lovely Kate.

  17. Carolyn,
    Lovely gifts, so nice to have such wonderful blog friends!!! It is very emotional to come home and find parcels from all over the world and know they were sent with love!!!
    Wasn't that exciting for Prince William, and so sweet about the ring....his Mother would be thrilled I am sure. I do hope they will be happy and not pestered by the press like Diana was....I still cry when I watch shows about her.
    Hugs,
    Margaret B
