I am a lucky girl! I entered in the Christmas Carnival giveaways hosted by http://www.theshabbychiccottage.net/ last week, and I won again. I feel so blessed to win such beautiful handmade items from artists throughout blogland...
I get so excited when a package arrives...

opening... unwrapping... the anticipation...


and a squeal of delight. Isn't this ornament beautiful? It is handmade by
http://adriennedepitera.blogspot.com/ . She handpaints and preserves the silk embellishments. Much time and love is put into each ornament. Thank you Gina for the carnival, and to Adrienne for sending the lovely ornament so quickly. I will cherish it for years to come. I don't know about you, but I remember where most of my ornaments came from, and every year when I put them on the tree I think of that person or time in my life. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. And don't let the busyness of the season take away from remembering the reason for Christmas, Jesus Christ. Spend some time with your family and friends, but most of all spend time with Him during this time we reserve to celebrate His birth. " For unto us a Savior is born". Amen
