There are a few gifts I've already shown in previous post and some gifts may have been eaten....but this is the bulk and if by chance I've forgotten to show one please forgive me. Please know how much I love and appreciate all my gifts. I truly felt so special and you all know who you are!
My husband and youngest son watched the day I opened my birthday presents and then when it came time to open my Christmas presents watched me again. They sat in disbelief that I hadn't met most of you, yet I receive such special treasures. As I opened each one I was able to sit and tell them a short story about you, your life, and about your family. This you can do of a friend. Thank you friends for making my holidays extra special.

Happy belated birthday! What darling gifts...it's wonderful to be loved with stitches & fabric! :-)
There truly are wonderful people in the world...most of them quilters! lol Sounds like a wonderful day!
Mary, you are a treasure to many, and especially to me. If it wasn't for you, I'd be a babe (no, not "that" kind of babe) lost in the woods.
You have directed me to many things through quilting. Your work has been an inspirations to many.
Hugs to a deserving Lady.
Glad you had a wonderful birthday and Christmas. So many new things to enjoy and decorate your home.

You are very welcome. That is neat that you share with your family about the people that sent you gifts. You sure did get some pretty things.
And you deserve each and every one of them, Mary.
Only special people are showered with gifts in this manner.
Merry Christmas - what lovely gifts from special friends.
enjoy!
The gifts you received reflect the kind of friend you are. Hope you had TWO special days this month!
I am so happy to read you had a good birthday and Christmas! Have a happy week!
That is so cool Mary. Happy belated birthday. Your gifts look wonderful.
Lots of blessings in gifts and friends!
Special gifts for a special person!
You are indeed loved, Mary. Thanks for being such an awesome friend.
Christmas Day I was telling my mum and dad about friends I'd been emailing that I've met through quilting blogs who live in farms in the USA. I grew up on a farm here in Australia, that they still run. They were very interested and amazed, and my dad has lots of questions for them now about crops, acreage and livestock! Your story of your husband and son amazed at friends you've never met reminded me of this.
Isn't blogland an amazing place! Glad you felt the special friendship it brings!
WOW!!! what nice friends and BEAUTIFUL gifts. Can you share what pattern the basket of candy canes are? Thank You, Carolyn
Your gifts are wonderful, you do have the Best Friends in Blogland!!! How nice of them..
Blog land is indeed an amazing place. Happy birthday, merry Christmas, thanks for reminding me.
What wonderful treasures! Merry Christmas to you and a happy belated birthday greeting to you as well.
My family has enjoyed getting to know my quilter friends too, all through blogging stories shared. We are all like pen pals with the benefit of email and texting. Fun. Glad you were treated so well on your birthday and Christmastime. You've done the same for many of us. Your friendship is valued. :-D
So glad you had a wonderful birthday and a great Christmas! Your gifts are as special as you! Wishing you a great New Year!
