VINTAGE CHRISTMAS STOCKING SWAP

SNEAK PEEK at the VINTAGE CHRISTMAS STOCKING SWAP

I have mailed off my Vintage Christmas Stocking swap goodies to Mandy – Pearl Maple.
Here is a sneak peek at what I sent.

Mandy is a Canadian who lives in beautiful Queensland Australia – so it is a ‘beachy’ place to be.

I have carried on the beach theme with the decorations that are with Mandy’s stocking – even a couple with an Aussie theme to give her a laugh.

Mandy has lovely white and cream throughout her home so I tried to keep things in her colour range - hope she likes what I sent.

THE DISTANCE

THE DISTANCE

What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday.
We went to watch the band ‘The Distance’ at a little fundraiser they held.

Next year they are once again off to Tamworth and the accommodation costs are a killer.

So they held ‘A Day on the Green at Dazza’s’ to help raise some funds.

Check out their website .

The grandchildren Lachlan, Chloe and Riley had a fun time playing with their grandad Max

DAD IS NOT SO WELL

My Dad was supposed to go to rehab last week but took a turn for the worse last Monday. We still don’t know what is really going on. He is not eating and is unable to walk. He has balance issues and has the shakes. He keeps drifting in and out of sleep. Tomorrow he is having a Nuclear Medicine PET Scan of his whole body – if like me you don’t know what it means click here and have a read. Hopefully they will find something there

CHRISTMAS, MARSHMALLOWS & DAD

A VINTAGE CHRISTMAS STOCKING SWAP

Maryanne from Follow Your Bliss is hosting A Vintage Christmas Stocking Swap and my partner is Mandy of Pearl Maple. With things being so crazy around here with Dad being so ill and the long drive to and from the hospital nearly every day I have not had time to start creating so I better get moving on it this week as mail out is 22nd November.

YUMMY MARSHMALLOWS

How lucky was I to win Shannon’s – Paint Mine Pink -guessing competition and win some yummy marshmallows. Shannon also sent a sweet ‘Breast Cancer Support’ little Angel. As my mother in law is a breast cancer survivor the little angel will always have a special place in my home. Shannon also put in some cute little decorations.
Thanks Shannon.

UPDATE ON DAD

4 weeks later and he should be on his way to rehab on Wednesday.
Apparently there is no cancer in the two tumors taken from Dad’s brain. There is still the issue of fluid around his heart and lungs – they just don’t seem to be able to work out what is causing it. The clots in his lung should clear up before he goes to rehab as he is being put onto a blood thinning drug today.Thank you so much for everyone’s kind thoughts and prayers
