A wonderful birthday surprise....


came in the mail for me yesterday.  This absolutely beautiful and flawless drawn thread centerpiece.  My sweet friend, Rhonda, made this for me and she told me it was her first attempt at this type of work.  Well I am dutifully impressed by her work because it is stunning.  It makes the perfect back drop for my grandparents wedding bowl and my mothers brass candlesticks.  I cannot thank her enough for this special birthday gift.  I think it's wonderful when friends surprise you with handmade gifts.  To me there is nothing better than something that person made just for you....always makes me feel special.
Blessings as always,
Barbara

It is beautiful. I too would rather have something homemade or home-baked any day.
