My, OH MY What a Wonderful day....

Yesterday I had a doctors appointment. I finally relented and made the appointment after several months of menopause issues that had been hindering my quality of life. Let's just say that I am no stranger to female problems and leave it at that. I hadn't been to the doctor since moving to Arizona, and quite frankly, I was not looking forward to it--At. All. It wasn't the funnest thing that I could think of to do with my morning. However, I do like my new doctor, despite her calling me "hon" or "honey" about 10 times too many. She is my age and knew from experience exactly what I was telling her about. As I drove home, ( and still trying to shake that feeling of being a bit violated....)I was pondering on the many things that she asked me to do before my re-check in 3 months.....( Blood work, ultra sound, and mammogram -yay me!) and how I was going to be able to fit it all in. I was just feeling a little overwhelmed. Well, I got home and found this lovely surprise!!! It just made my day! (sorry--no photo of the package because I was RIPPING it open as I ran in the house!) A while ago, Kimberly at My Brown Bag Studio asked me if I wanted to do a table runner swap with her. She certainly didn't have to ask me twice, I'll tell you!! Kimberly has the most wonderful blog full of many wonderful projects. She made this absolutely fantastic runner for me! Look at the detail work...HAND quilted, no less! I really admire those who can take the time (and have the patience) to do hand work! Wow! So much work! I seriously just stood there looking at it and touching it....... And if the runner wasn't enough, she included this little ornament. It makes me excited to get our Christmas decorations out! THANK YOU Kimberly! Getting this really made my day! I JUST LOVE IT! I hope you get yours soon! ;)
