Thank you Paula, Tim, Soleil and Arwen.....

Phew...what a day it has been...more on that later....arrived home after such a stressful day to a huge parcel of delights all the way from Canada!

Well I couldn't wait to open it...and here is the wonderful contents....

A gorgeous Soleil and Arwen Christmas card...a real couple of nutcrackers!
A beautiful and very cosy Union Jack and Canada flag reversible scarf which buttons up and will never be in the drawer for the rest of the winter...
and a sock monkey for my little grandson, Arron...who is of course a complete monkey....

Thank you so much Paula, Tim, Soleil and Arwen....we are overwhelmed...and I saved the very best to last....a portrait of my sweet old lab, Frodo which brought tears to our eyes...Paula..you have captured him so well....he is hanging on the wall now and we smile every time we pass him...words can't express how much we love this painting....
