We are finally getting some much needed rain.  I just love to hear the rain on the windows.  We can not hear it all that well on the roof unless it is really coming down.



I was in a Valentine apron swap Sue from http://countrypleasures.blogspot.com/ was our swap momma.  Thank you Sue for being an awesome swap momma.


This is the beautiful apron I received from Betty.  Betty does not have a blog yet.  Just look at all those wonderful polka dots.


These are some super cute goodies Betty included in the package with my apron.  Thank you so much Betty.  I just love my apron and all my goodies you did a great job.


This is the apron I made for Betty.


My sweet friend Carla surprised me with this pincushion.   It is just beautiful.  Love the colors and the milk glass.  She knows just what I love.  


Carla also added this gorgeous heart.  It is so sweet.  Thank you so much Carla.  

Well it is time for bubbles and then to bed to listen to the rain.  How sweet the sound.

Hugs

    Donna, I follow Sue’s amazing blog, she is a great gal. I was considering taking part in her apron swap but decide to wait because this is my super busy time of the year with making and selling handmade soaps. Love the apron and goodies that Betty made for you. Your new pincushion is so super cute. Enjoy the rain and send some our way, down here in Florida. :) Paula
