I am firstly sorry that not everybody could win but there will be another finished giveaway on the 1st of December.  (see how Anglicized I have become - note the date)!

  
Secondly I am sorry this is a tad late but I just got home from a hospital appointment - all day.  Well not really but I do have to have my gallbladder out.  The appointment was for 10:45 this morning and I didn't get seen until 11:30 and that was only after I complained that I had been waiting way longer than some people who had already gone in so I went next.  No big deal apparently it will be done (hopefully) by keyhole surgery.  Then we went out for lunch (not that I ate a lot because I have the most awful stomach ache) and then some shopping and now I'm home and feel just awful.



I also received an exchange from Drea-Dear (Andrea) for the TTE2 blog and I would like to show it to everyone here and thank Andrea at the same time, though I have thanked her once already (all pictures are clickable to enlarge them)


This is the outside of the needlebook

And this is some extra Aida, ribbon and thread that
Andrea included so I could make a matching scissorkeep

So until next time ...

Lots of Love

How lucky am I? Thank you Patti.

Sorry to hear that you have to have surgery. I too had a hospital appointment this morning but I was in and out in 5 minutes flat!

Take care
[[[Hugs]]]

Oh Patti - I hope that you're feeling better soon. You're so fortunate (if that's the term to be used in conjunction with your surgery - all surgeries are a pain to have), that they're doing the keyhole surgery. I hear that it's a breeze to get through and you don't feel as bad as the old surgery. My mom had that surgery with the old procedures and the recuperation time was slow.

Thanks for having a great giveaway and contrats to the winner.

Berit said...

5th runner up; I think that's the highest I've ever ranked!! :D

I do so hope you're feeling better soon; and congrats on the needlebook receipt!

Margaret said...

What a bummer that you have to have surgery -- and that you're feeling lousy too. I hope the surgery goes well and you start feeling much better soon. Love the piece you got in the exchange!

Cindy F. said...

Congrats to Carol R.!!! (I'm so behind I didn't know you were having a giveaway...darn it!!)

Gallbladder surgery?! Good grief girl! So sorry to hear you're in pain and hope you have your surgery soon and no more pain...ever!!

Alice said...

Congrats to the winner!! Patti, I am really sorry to hear they want to take your gallbladder out. They wanted to take mine out as well three years ago but I decided NO, no way!!! I stopped drinking coffee, stopped eating chocolate, no artificial sugar and no milk and have not had a gall bladder attack since. The real problem behind the gallbladder is the liver. I do hope you feel better soon as I don't doubt that you are unwell. Pretty exchange you received. Sending you many healing thoughts.

Lovely exchange! Congratulations to Carol, too. :)

I'm sorry to hear about the surgery. I hope you're feeling better and that the surgery takes care of everything for you. Big hugs.

Congratulation to Carol!

Sorry to hear about your gall bladder - dh had his out about 5 years ago after having 2 debilitating attacks. He was in & out and back to normal in a few days - I hope your surgery goes as well as his did!

Hi Patti,
I was just chatting to you earlier and really sorry to hear you feeling so unwell. I hope it settles down at least until you can get it dealt with.

Congratulations to Carol on winning such a lovely giveaway. I've seen it at it really is beautiful. Wonder how she'll choose to have it finished.
Thinking of you.

It was rather interesting for me to read the post. Thanx for it. I like such themes and anything connected to this matter. I would like to read more soon.

I just read about your gallbladder trouble and surgery and this is exactly what I am going through now as well, it's taken me 4 months to get a proper diagnosis and now I have to wait for my surgery too which is going to be done via keyhole as well. It sucks not being able to eat, so I can sympathize with you all too well :) Hope you feel better soon.
