Two Special Gifts

A few days ago, I told you all how excited I was that I'd won a giveaway.  Well, guess what?!  When I got home from visiting my mom in Oregon just now, there was a package in the mail for me!  And...

Inside was this adorable Alice journal that I won during Cindy Adkins' "Alice's Tea Party" week at her blog, Whimsical Musings

Here's the back.  Isn't this just the neatest thing?  I totally love it...thank you, Cindy!


Another awesome thing that happened this weekend was the receipt of this gorgeous ring from my mom!  I was chatting about how I loved the ring that Prince William gave to the new Princess Catherine and my mom surprised me with this one in a similar style!  It belonged to my great-grandmother.  How exciting...I totally love it!


I hope everyone has the opportunity for some great rest and relaxation this weekend! We have been traveling the last couple days and are really looking forward to a day of down time on Saturday... Well, the kids and I are. My faithful husband will be back to work bright and early! I'm so thankful for him...thank you for all you do to bless us, Jamie!

I'm joining these parties today:

You have been blessed by both winning the lovely giveaway and the family ring which is beautiful. Anything that is passed down from generation to generation is so treasure, is it not? Enjoy your blessings. Where does you mom live in Oregon? Mt Hood area, the coast and the Wineries and covered bridges South of Portland. If it is meant to be, it will happen. Wonderful picture of your hubby and baby. How very blessed you are!
