Guess what Granny was doing today?

Yes you are right. Sitting at the sewing machine finishing a quilt top that she just started yesterday. The fire was going and she was sewing away. I took this picture before she even knew that I was there. She kept sewing until I told her that I had her some more surprises.

This is the back of a beautiful fabric card made by Sandy just for Granny.

Isn't this beautiful? This is the front of the fabric card. Granny was amazed. She was trying to figure out how this was made.

(I noticed on Sandy's blog tonight that her granddaughter has the swine flu. Please keep her in your prayers.)

Thank you Sandy!

Can you imagine someone sending cookies to Granny for her birthday?

Well Latane did just that. Her daughter has a bakery in her home and she had her bake these cookies just for Granny. Are these not just so pretty? They look like a picture.
She told me when they were shipped to go ahead and open them so they would not get stale.

So I opened them and just so happened one was broke!!

I thought to myself as I put the others in the container to take to Granny:

"Self," this cookie sure does look and smell good but it is broke so I talked myself into eating it!!!

It was delicious.

It is hard for me to remember which cards go with who because Granny has to read every word in every card and she keeps them close once she gets them. Here are a few of the ones I took her today. They are all so beautiful.

Granny cries (weeps) as she reads them.

These cards are from:

Allie (Allie has another surprise for Granny that I will be taking this week also.)

Amelia (Granny read every word)

Connie sent Granny a card with a folded & pressed hankerchief in it.

Sandra sent a precious card with a 10.00 bill in it. Granny was speechless.

The following cards did not have a blog listed on them.

Susannah O. sent a precious card to Granny.

Brenda D. also sent a sweet sweet card.

Angela from Indiana sent a beautiful card to Granny.

(If any of you have a blog just send me the link and I will add it here.)

She just loved seeing the cookies. She was amazed at how pretty they were.
Granny said they were too pretty to eat.........

But it didn't stop her.

She said, "Can I eat one now?" I told her that they were made just for her.
She really loved them.

Thank you for helping make Grannys birthday week great!

This is random pictures of Granny opening up her cards today. Weeping

Smiling

Reading

I stood up to get this picture. It looks sideways.
She loved the colors on this one.
She told me these cards mean more to her than anything.
Anytime God is mentioned in a card she shivers and wipes a tear.

Every card she opened she always says how beautiful they are.

And then she asked me what state they are from.

Of course, I get the usual....

"Beth, How do you know all of these people?"
Little does she know that I don't know everyone but everyone knows Granny!

Granny is so amazed at all the gifts and cards she is receiving. I have many more that have been sent and I am just taking a few everyday. She is just the sweetest thing. She said today that she wishes she could write everyone a thank you card. I told her that everyone understands and that I would thank you all for her. I am taking more gifts over to her tomorrow. I want her to enjoy a few a day until her birthday. She is having a ball opening each card and reading every word. She says it is like a party everyday. Thank you all so much. She said she has never received so many cards.

****************

Countdown: 3 more days until the give away is over!!!

I cannot tell you for sure when the winner will be announced but it will be by the following week.

Are you excited? I am.

I have a lot of work to do. My daughter is gonna help me sort out everything and make sure the right amt. of entries for each person goes in the box. Hopefully Granny will be the one that picks the winner if I can get her to understand what we are doing.
