g is for gift!


g is for gift! yes it true i got a gift in the mail yesterday! just look at the amazingness! a 1941 saint george medal from WWII, i really love it more than words can say... but i will try to tell you.
a dear friend of mine from high school (which was a really long time ago) is not only a great friend but and amazing artist... jeanette from everton terrace

found this medal during her travels and re-purposed it into this necklace! she paired with this turquoise stone and put it on a long gold chain! i love love love it! have i said how much i love it? we have had a really hard week around here... we caught something really scary over halloween weekend and everyone has been home sick... i am sure every mom understands it sucks to have sick kids, but i really can't cope if they are sick on the same day i am sick! taking turns is best! we had the worst flu ever and i have done nothing but laundry and sanitize the house... ahhhhh!
but my gift came with this amazing card which reads... we are all warriors- just with our own battles. thank you so much for 'accepting' this gift. i hope it reminds you of how many victories you have! you have great power!....
what wonderfulness! i am blessed for sure! happy thursday to all!

    What great timing! You really needed a pick-me-up. I hope everyone is recovering okay?

    I agree...those are wonderfully wise words. You have a very good friend. Sorry to hear you and your family were ailing. We had a similar battle in September.
