A Gift

 I did a Halloween swap, and since then, have gotten to be friends with my swap partner.  She has been so wonderful about sending me packages in the mail, look what she sent this time!
An amazing afghan!  Cathy made this wonderful afghan and my family was the lucky recipients.  It has been wonderful to have a new afghan to snuggle under this past week.  My kids have been sick and this beauty has traveled around the house with them.  We have had a ton of late night games and practices and I have come home weary and ready to veg out in front of the tv and watch the last night Olympic coverage, of course, the new afghan makes snuggling up that much sweeter!

Thanks Cathy, I love it.  You are so sweet and it is so wonderful to count you as a friend.  (Just wish you lived a little closer so you could teach me how to crochet!)

    Take care and snuggle under your beautiful gift. I also love the other gift you received to on the previous post. Wow that is beautiful too. Like Libbie says Lucky Girl
