"On the fifth day of Christmas....

..my true love gave to me 5 golden rings."  I can literally sing that line because I got rings!  Okay they are not gold or rings I can put on my fingers, but they are rings.  I am wondering if Elizabeth purposing made this gift for Day 5. She also added some floss baggies too.  It brought a smile to my face.  Thank you Elizabeth!

I mailed out  Christmas cards today, 54 of them.  I think I might have to send some more if I can afford to do so.

Vicky

Fourth Day

On the Fourth Day of Christmas, the gift was a bag of Hershey's miniatures candy. Sweet!  I can't say no to these minis, especially the Mr. Goodbar.  I don't like the regular size Mr.Goodbar because I can taste the aluminum on the chocolate. Elizabeth has put a lot of thought in her gifts and I am very touched.  Thank you Elizabeth!

Third Day of Christmas

On the Third Day of Christmas, Elizabeth gave me 2 hoops.  One is 5 inches and the other 7 inches.  This stitching girl can never have enough hoops in her stash.  They will be handy for my challenge next year.  Thank you Elizabeth!  I can't wait for tomorrow's gift.

Well I got my haircut. Alot of hair was cut from my head.  Here is the pile:

Most of the hair is in a bag. There is an organization call Wigs for Kids  so I am hoping to send my hair to them.  It is too short for Lockets of Love organization.  I think 6-7 inches were cut off.  Now do you want to see my new hair do?  Am  I hearing yes? LOL  Ok here is my new hairdo.  The picture is  not the greatest. 

See ya tomorrow!

Second Day of Christmas
