Happy, Blessed New Year!

Hi friends! I hope this New Year is a true blessing to you! I am hoping for excellent health.

I did it! I read the entire Holy Bible in 2015. I am so very glad I did it. I will do it again, just not this year. Brian and I do read from the Bible together daily as well. I WILL go back and read entire books from it again this year though. If you have never read the Holy Bible, I encourage you to do so. It is God's gift to us!

I would like to share with you a splendid gift I received from our friend Annette. Here is the beautiful card she sent me.
Here is the ornament she gave me all wrapped up still in splendid Annette-style. :)
The pattern  is called A Stitcher's Christmas, from the Purple Thread. I just adore it! Thank you Annette.

I received a surprise! Our friend Maria  sent me and the poodles gifts!
What a lovely Christmas card with European/English Robins! And a sweet ornament made for me by Maria. A few yummy poodles treats and candy canes. Last but not least, 4 sweet angels made by Maria's Little Miss. She made these guardian angels for the poodles, to protect them from harmful coyotes. Aww. THANK YOU SO MUCH LITTLE MISS! We hung one on Winky's cage (Madeleine's parakeet). The other three are hung up as well. I know our little poodles will be safe now! Thank you Maria. What a blessed, happy package I received. You and your daughter warmed our hearts.♥

Thank you my friends for stopping in today. I am so glad you did. I am so blessed to have made so many wonderful, special connections with many, many friends around the world!

Reading and praying,
Vickie

Happy New Yer, dear Vickie!

I hope you and your family will be happy, healthy and greeted with much love in the year to come.
Yes, I read the bible from front cover till back cover when I was a theology student. I read it in fragments now ... but it's good to have 'the overvieuw', to see the large pilgrimage of mankind and God.

Have a great New Year's Day together!

Bye, Carolien

Happy New Year Vickie - I hope it is as pain-free as possible!

Hi Vickie. I read the entire Bible once in my life as a project when I was a junior Sunday School teacher when I was 16. Isaiah was and is my favourite book.
I have several exercises I have to do to help my neck else I get some pain. Part of my problem is I clench my jaw when I'm anxious.
Here's to happy, pain-free stitching in 2016!
