Happy Dias de Reyes!
I'm so honored and delighted with all your wonderful gifts! I had a blast, and LOVE all 12 Days of Christmas gifts we exchanged! I sent my package with the intention of including my fresh Mexican Wedding Rum Cakes for you all to enjoy on the 10th Day of Christmas, and realized on Christmas eve I had left them out, lol. Lots of love was not forgotten, though!
This was my first Christmas without my sweet daughter, and you all really helped heal my heart. I was glad to stay busy & wowed by all your incredible gifts! You are all so very talented. I appreciate our gift swap immensely.
Special thanks to Lorelei for hosting such a special event!
Merry Christmas and Felix Navidad!

Ah, Rita, So glad that you enjoyed the swap and your gifts---I enjoyed opening a gift everyday, too! Thank you so much for the special ornaments, and the candle! I had never seen that candle before personally, but have friends who had. The beaded ornament was just luscious, I loved them all. I did forget what the serape was called, though duh!! I am glad your heart was healed, even if just a bit. Thank you for the rockin' video, laughter is a good way to start the day! Hope your day is a great one, today! Gina
ReplyDeleteHi Rita,
ReplyDeleteYou are so very welcome. Once again I love the gift you sent to me and will think of you when I hang the snowflake on the tree each year and use the sweet snowman hot pads. I have not lit the candle but it has been place inside the lantern my sister gave me for Christmas. I love the Jib Jab cards they are always fun to watch. Thank you for your generosity.
Wishing you all the best in 2013!

Oh I love those e-cards Rita! It's been such fun opening presents, and I love my little snowflake ornament, not to mention the sombrero, serape, candle and oven mitts (which I actually desperately needed!). I'll be posting my final update later on today.
