Thankful Thursday: Better late...


It's been a while since I've posted on Thankful Thursday. I had every intention to post yesterday, on time but then this happened! All of a sudden I was on all fours with shearing pain cutting through me. Trust me, I have thin ankles. This ankle is not normal.

So after two hours in urgent care today, here I sit with a big old boot on. What better time to list the things I got in the mail recently. If I've forgotten anyone, please let me know!!

Oh, they didn't find a fracture in my ankle but want to recheck it next week. If the swelling and pain are the same, time for an MRI.


I got this wonderful card from Linda at Stampmaiden just because she knows I love Frida Kahlo! It's a favorite card of hers that she had for years but unselfishly gave it away. What a doll! Thanks Linda!!

The stamped image was on the inside. So cool!

I got this packet of crazy finds from sweet Soulbrush! She even bought me "nothing!" (see lower left.) Only she could find something like nothing!
I'll use these goodies in collages that some of you will be getting. What a hoot!

Thanks, Jossie. You know I'm crazy about you!



Lynn sent me this beautiful postcard sized quilt of a beach scene because she had a drawing for her blogaversary. See the beach umbrella and the sun and the waves? I just adore these mini quilts!! Thanks so much Lynn. Wowee!!

My dear pal KJ bought me this T-shirt in Ptown. Why in the world would she think of me for this shirt? Hah!! I love it KJ. It's definately me!

And she also bought me this sweet wall decor as a housewarming gift. She thought it might go on my sunporch but for now it's in my computer/art room.

I love it! Thanks for being so sweet KJ and for always being so thoughtful.

I really feel like someone or something is being left out. I hope not.

Excuse me, I'm going to go ice my foot now!

Thanks everyone, really. xoxo

  1. What wonderful art. Now that ankle is a different thing. OUCH! My daughter used to do that to herself playing basketball. You will get better but...until then take care. Get that ankle up and keep the ice on it.

  14. Oh mY! I hope your foot is better now. I had an ankle just like yours but I was 7 months pregnant and was standing/cooking all day for a party of 100 people in 35C heat. Lucky for you, you have all those sweet gifts from your freinds!
