celebrating...

Hello ~ I am so glad you stopped by!

I am in a great mood today and want to share my happiness with you all!

You see it was a year ago today that I had my successful open heart surgery to remove the benign tumor from my heart.

I am feeling just wonderful and want to celebrate...

Also, February 10th marked my second year of blogging!

Another reason to celebrate!


I am ever so grateful for the friendships I have made these last two years and wish I could share a little something with each and every one of you...

Just know that you all hold a special place in my (improved) heart!


I treated myself this week to two new books and curled up in my big comfy white chair last night with them...

Rachel's book is absolutely beautiful and inspiring!!


To celebrate how lucky I am, I decided I would give away a copy of one of these books ~ winner's choice!
And, just in case some of you may already have these books, another choice for you is the book that my son gave me for Christmas...

Maybe you still do not have a copy of Fifi's first book so I will offer it as a choice too...

Finally, I wanted to include this other good choice that should be arriving at the shop soon...
