I got three books I had asked for: Crocheting in Plain English, Gardening with Guineas and An Introduction to Color Forms of the Domestic Fowl: A Look at Color Varieties and How They Are Made (This one should arrive within a few weeks, can't wait)
A two year subscription to hobby farms. Two rooster coffee cups with a little cash inside and a beautiful framed picture of my new Great niece that was born December 3rd, 2010.
The best gift was spending time with my family since I live 250 miles away and I don't get to see them that often. My new Baby Great Niece is adorable but didn't get to hold her as much as I would have liked since everyone else had the same idea !!!
I'm staying down here in SE WI for a few more days so I'll snatch her up when I go visit her this week.
And another great gift was the compliments of the baby blanket I made and the one I crocheted for the new baby. I hadn't crocheted a baby blanket for 30 years since my niece was born so it was quite a surprise that they loved it so much.
My DH asked what I wanted and I said I just wanted him to keep building the chicken pens for housing my silkies that I am using for a breeding program. So I will be getting presents all year because it will take him a while to complete that project !!!
His gift was my leaving for the week !!!!!
Oh and my gift to myself was a few Lemax Christmas village pieces. I buy one or two each year for my nieces and can't resist a good sale and always buy myself a few as well. This year I got a Farmers Market and a Hunters Deer Blind.
Tomorrow I will be celebrating with my late mothers family, that is another gift I am grateful for, spending time with loved ones.
At the get together with my Moms side of the family today I got a real nice winter scarf and a cute snowman votive holder!
