The day after Christmas another package arrived and it was from Mary Grace McNamara @ http://hookedonneedles.com/ ... my name had been chosen by her sweet son Sean for her giveaway...
Look at all of these goodies...
*
*
*
Let the unwrapping begin....
**
*
Awww, look at this precious little crocheted angel Mary Grace made...
her wings are poofy and her dress is so adorable!
**
*
Look at these cute gift tags, note cards & a Mary Engelbreit magnet...
**
*
These labels are so cute...they didn't photograph well...they are actually silver & there were 3 of them...Christmas...Angel...& Ho-Ho-Ho
**
*
And look at this...she included a Christmas scene & floss to embroider...I'm not at all crafty, but I can at least embroider...LOL

Now let's take a look at the tag I got from that very fun Sheila known as The Quintessential Magpie

I'm supposed to name 6 things I value & 6 things I don't value...I have done this tag before so I won't elaborate on my choices that much...but even I didn't remember my previous answers so hopefully I won't bore you....LOL

THINGS I VALUE:
1. I value being a Christian
2. I value my husband Sonny & my grandson, Evan
3. I value being born an American
4. I value the freedom all of our service men & women past & present have secured for us
5. I value my friends
6. I value my pets
*
*
THINGS I DON'T VALUE:
1. I don't value child predators & perverts
2. I don't value blowhards & braggarts
3. I don't value liars
4. I don't value abusive people
5. I don't value arrogant & obnoxious people
6. I don't value people who are cruel to animals

This is an interesting tag and I'd like to pass it on to any of you who haven't done it and would like to answer it.

Congratulations on your special gifts they are adorable, I am in love with the note pads and those cutesie little ornaments. Oh forgot about your award congrats on that as well. No collection of dishes are not mine. I wish.
Happy New Year Bo.
Bo, I loved all of your goodies, and I agree with all of the things you value and don't value! Seeing yours, I probably should have done mine differently because above all else, I value my faith in Jesus and of course, my family. Yikes! Did I sound like a fibberdigidget in my answsers???
Here's wishing you all the best for the coming year. I wish you a 2009 filled with all the blessings your heart can hold. You are such a special person, Bo, and I feel like you are a blessing in my life. I always love to see your name on the comments on my blog and to read yours because you ALWAYS make me smile! :-)
Happy New Year!
XO,
Sheila :-)

Bo,
What a fun prize package from Mary Grace. Yes I also think her name is lovely. I have a granddaughter named Grace after my MIL.
I enjoyed reading your value list and feel so much the same way about both lists...
It is these very values I have found among the wonderful friends I have made in my 6-7 months of blogging.
May 2009 be full of many wonderful blessings for you and your family.

Hello Bo,
Please forgive me for being so bold, but I am doing a bit of blog surfing to invite people to sign up for my annual giveaway. This isn't some sort of gimmick. I am celebrating two years of blogging and this is my way of doing it. I am giving away a free caricature drawn by me. I'd be honored if you came over and checked it out.
Evening, Dear Bo! Wow, you hit the jackpot! What wonderful treasures you've received!
Thank you so much, sweetness, for your prayers for my Mother. I appreciate your friendship so much.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Love...Jeanne

Hey, Bo!
Just checking in to see if you're okay. Haven't seen you around the blogsphere in the last few days, and I'm like a mother hen... I do that thing which Christians aren't supposed to do that begins with a "W". LOL! Hope you're just taking a bloggy break and are okay.
Much love to you, sweet friend!
