... joy, hope and peace this Christmas. I am full of gratitude for your kindness, your good wishes for my Dad (whose eye procedure went well but who developed an unrelated condition these last ten days and is now home from hospital) and for your loyalty and support in popping in here during the year. I am also ovewhelmed by the creative talent I've seen up close these last few months - just look at these wonderful quilt squares (part of Fiona's Quilt Square swap over at Staring at the Sea), which are now gracing my desk...
... and these wonderful Christmas tree decorations, part of Miriam's Christmas Decoration Swap, adorning our tree ...
So thank-you, all of you, so very much ... May there be warmth cloaking your home, delicious food spread on your table, and the happiness of blog friendships wrapped around you :).
Hope you and yours have a lovely Christmas Alexa.
