Sorry I've been gone

My mom has been in and out of the hospital since Dec 19th. She has CHF, a leaky heart valve and pulmonary embolisms. She went to a nursing home for a brief stay starting last night. She just needs to get stronger and have some therapy. I will try to get back here again soon.

****VINTAGE PINK CHRISTMAS SWAP****

Here are the answers to the "get to know you" questions that Jen gave us for the swap. Sorry it took me so long to get them posted!

1. What is your favorite Christmas decoration? Snowmen! My husband and I started collecting them when we first got married. Now they remind me of him. I also collect angels.

2. What colors/themes do you decorate for Christmas? I have some things that are very midcentury retro and some that are child-friendly, like homemade in art class stuff.

3. What Christmas item would you love to have? Something from your heart.

4. Favorite goodie & hot drink? I love fudge and hot chocolate of any kind. Something that is special to your neck of the woods would be nice.

5. Are you a crafter? If so what crafts do you do? I try to craft. I like paper crafting and received a sewing machine last year for Christmas.

6. What is your favorite pink item in your home? My favorite pink item is an old quilt I found at an auction. Cozy and cute.

7. What do you collect? I collect cat items, quilts and interesting vintage travel items. Anything vintage is cool with me.

8. Do you have special family traditions for the holidays? Not really. We like to go Christmas shopping on Black Friday and try to go to church on Christmas Eve.
