I ThiNk SaNTa CaMe EarLy..;)

Good Morning everyone!!!hope you all had a great monday...I went to the doctors and my creatinine level is doing great..The doctor also gave some hopeful news..he is a part of a study out that about only 70 hospitals do..and he is one of them..they have a drug out that helps shrink tumors for cancer patients..and they are finding that they help shrink the cysts in polycystic kidneys too..maybe even to where you will never need a kidney transplant..How awesome is that? I am put on a list..they will call me to see if I qualify..and even if I don't right now..I might some where down the road..or if it gets approved by the FDA I can just take this pill..otherwise..I become part of this study and I get one initial pill and then it might be the pill or a placebo pill..but technology is advancing so quickly that it might become approved (if the FDA approves it)..which I hope they do..there is HOPE now!!! great news to hear..he said my weight loss was a good thing..so on I go..
So onto some goodies and pics to share..I got a clothing package in the mail of some stuff I ordered and Little Lucy Lou decided to inspect it..;) here she is looking at me like "I'm not doing anything"..I love that innocent look on her little mischievous face of hers..;) who does she think she is fooling..lol....

here she is sleeping in the package...what a nut..

I received a package from Tamera of country at heart.. I won her giveaway and she gave a bunch of us gals some wonderful and thoughtful goodies..I love this vintage looking kitty 3some..I need to cut them out and sew them..and then place them someplace..tweaking some more I love it..

I also got this huge kitty hanger pattern that I need to cut out and hang up...probably outside on the front porch..too cute..

and this wonderful cats welcome sign..that is hanging on my front porch..;) sorry for the blurry photo...

and last but not least this wondeful pillow..it has a heart stitched on the lower right corner in green..look how well it matches the other 2 pillows I have here..I love this envelope pillow and i love!!! the fabric..;) Thank you Tamera for taking the time to make and put together this box taylored just for me.;)

okay I am not done here..my other good blogging buddy Karen of "the barely there primitive bear" and I are doing a swap of sorts..she will be as surprised at what she gets when I get off my duff and send hers..still gotta stuff it with more stuff..cause she spoiled me..and I LOVE it all!!!

I put the little americana pinkeep with my other one from my good blogging buddy Linda..one can never have too many pinkeeps with pins at the ready when you are sewing..:)

I love this rug..she has one too and knew I would love one..I have strawberrys in my kitchen and this is all making it more complete..:) I love the rich colors...puurrfffeecctt for me.,)

see the little strawberry cup next to the white bowl? she sent that as well and right behind it, is a black strawberry bowl that she painted for me about a year or so ago...

I now have a wonderful vase/pitcher to put my cut flowers in..oh I love this...just the right size too.;)

and this cute little strawberry wheelbarrow..might have to put those little pumpkins in it come fall..I had it here first..with my seasonings..

and now it currently resides on the stove.. Thank you Karen for totally making my day...you hit the nail on the head as always...yours will be coming soon..:)

I did some more tweaking in the garden..I flipped their hats so you could see their faces and glasses better..put wire through the broom and the hat so they don't fly off when it gets windy..and I added that little sign hanging on the chair..it was in the front garden..it fit with this theme here..it says" welcome girlfriends"...

Hubby says they startle him every morning when he comes downstairs to start his day..hes not expecting these lively gals to be out in the yard..lol..

yesterday after my appt..I stopped at good will and got a shirt for the scarecrow in front..I took off the hat and put it on a pitchfork right next to this guy..it was "red tag" day and I got this for 1.29..not bad..

I picked up some little plates to add to the fence..love the flowers on these and the colors too..

I also got 3 of these americana plates..I was going to hang them on the fence as well..cause we are a proud patriotic family (hubby did 26 years in the service)...but the plate holder thing-a-ma-jigs wouldn't hold these as they are sligthly rounded plates..so I am washing them up to use as our dinner plates...I needed some more like I needed a hole in the head..lol..they still might end up out in the garden...you just never know here..

I also went to petsmart and got the kids a new "cat tree" in hopes it works off some energy for Lucy..she is just so busy and the big sissies need a break..she seems to like it..

they are precious when they sleep...

and here she is playing with big sis Pody Lynn...now there are more sleeping spots and there is no fights..also got some "feliway" in hopes it calms Millies "bladder"..oh and the test results came back $200.00 later that she is just "pissed off"...nothing more..so hoping the feliway works..or we can put her on anti-depressants...but at least there is no UTI..so that is my news for today..Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut and colored..I am over due on the color by about 9 days over due..but the roots are showing big time..will take photos when its done..going to a new gal..we hit it off on the phone and they have a website with their photos and a write up for each of them..and I liked what it said..and I have a 50% off coupon to use towards this..so excited...

I am going to try and get some sewing done today and things packed up to mail off tomorrow..I am looonnnnnggg over due for getting stuff done in the sewing room..and a couple of gals have been more then patient with me..so they will be getting some extra's because they have waited soooo long.I hope you all have a great tuesday..:) thanks for stopping by..I'm at 904 posts with this one..I need to have a giveaway soon..and I am up to 397 followers...love the numbers..but only about 15 seem to comment regularly...would love to hear from more of you..that is how I find new blogs to visit..;)

Enjoy your day..;)
