I was sitting here trying to figure out what today's post would be when I picked up a little bottle of Bath and Body's stress relief pulse point therapy.
Daily posting has been a bit stressful for me as a fiber person this month mostly because I do not have much knitting to post about. I have been insanely busy trying to make sure that everyone else will have something nice to knit with over the Holidays. Mind you, I am not complaining…it's been fun!
My days have been filled to the brim with my daily real job work and making sure that all of the yarn that I dye makes it to it's proper place under the Christmas Tree. It's been so much fun having husbands and sons calling me about presents for Wives and Mom's, what to get them….what do they already have….fun!
To keep up with the Christmas orders, I have been working a gazillion hours to make sure that no Mom or wife is disappointed, which has left very little time for personal knitting….and blog fodder.
As I sat here smelling this delicious aromatherapy, it quickly made me think of from where it came. My very dear friend, Barb, who bred my very, very dear Cleo sent it to me. Over the last 2 Christmases, Barb has put together a 12 days of Christmas package for me, which I can tell you is hugely fun. A big box arrives with 12 little presents, one to be opened each on the date, 12 days before Christmas…. SO much fun! The little bottle of aromatherapy was in this year's box of pressies. 🙂
More important than the physical gifts is the gift of friendship, that I will cherish forever!
PS….see that cavalier sitting on Santa's lap….that is Cleo's mother, Wish. 🙂

I absolutely love the idea of 12 little presents! I’ll have to incorporate that into my gift giving for next year.
Wonderful that you are filling Mom’s and wives fibery needs. 🙂

Now that’s a fun idea! Cleo looks like her mom Wish. Is that Cleo on Barb’s home page??

That is super sweet! I just read about Courtney’s board… funny because Craigs list is where Dan checks first when there’s a theft on post. There and Ebay. You’d be surprised how many times they caught people that way…. So glad she gets her board back!
