Thank you for my beautiful HUG!

I received the most wonderful parcel in the mail today. It was like Christmas!

I opened the box to the beautiful scents of candles. potpourri and Body and Bath products, heavenly!

I sure will be pampering myself. I love candles and all the different scents smell sooooo good. The garden angel candle holder will be perfect for them. And flower seeds.....oh you know I'll have a space for each and every seed...I'll have my own Village Garden

I've already made an arrangement of my sea shells/beans and candles....my own spot of Florida in Ontario

Me and my quotes....I have a perfect spot to display the framed quote that was made so beautifully.

And then....I unfolded the most beautiful quilt...it brought tears (many!!) to my eyes....I cried because I am so honoured, I cried because the quilt is SO beautiful, I cried because of all the hardwork and love you ladies put into this quilt for me. All the pretty colours and blocks, the added touch of the crocheted flowers......they are lovely and so unique, each and every one, which is like all of you. I hope I can express how much this means to me, I wish I could give each of you a big hug of thanks and friendship....

And thank you CJ for putting the quilt together, as you know I love it! ~smile~ This quilt will be my Healing Quilt and each time I look at it or am snuggled under I will remember where it came from and all the loving stitches that helped make it the beautiful treasure it is. I will never forget what you all have done for me...ever.

My time of healing and getting this body of mine healthy again is my main priority. I have realized so much the last 6 months of treatments, appointments etc.....

I am enjoying the simpler, "little" things in life and getting such a kick out of it!! I'm learning to slow down (even though I thought I had

) and I'm finding out that NOW is the time to enjoy life, right now!

I am surely blessed, thank you all again!

I am enriched by your friendship, Heather and was honoured to be part of this quilt. I'm so pleased you love it and that it lifted your spirits.

It WILL be your healing quilt and everytime you see it know that you get a little bit healthier because we all sent our love to you wrapped up in that quilt.

Well Heather, you already know why I called it "The Healing Quilt". I know that each time you snuggle under that quilt, it will remind you of the love, prayers and good thoughts that went into it.

Enjoy your special hug, your special "village" garden and all your pampering items.

We love you.

I hope my little Australian seeds will grow and flourish Heather and bring lots of colour into your life! You deserve it!

I hope you do feel a special healing every time you wrap up in that quilt Heather. We all had a bit to do with it but it was sewn up by a real angel

She worked hours on end on it. Enjoy it, I'm thrilled it touched you.
