I took the tree down on Sunday, so we are at the very end of anything Holiday related.
I did want to point out a few things for my friend, Gina, in Belgium.
Last year she sent me a package with lots of stuff in it, including lots of little miniature bells and 3 dog bone erasers. What to do, what to do...
Well, I got a big bow on my present from my brother, this year. I placed it on the tree, all by itself. When I later saw the things I had from Gina, I decided to sew them onto the bow. I also attached, with ribbons, the three bones. It's not great, but it did come out cute enough. Makenna was fascinated at the sound of the bells, as Mom sewed them on, one by one. :-)
In a not so happy ending...Gina shipped a tube of chocolate stars. Unfortunately, it must have been hot somewhere along the way, because the chocolate melted. As in, totally melted! She says that they still haunt her, a year later. Amazingly, I still had them, though I think I should finally throw them into the trash. :-)
This year, she played it safe and sent me a card.
Gina, it's the thought that counts...
