Handmade Gifts

As promised, here's the pinkeep my sister cross-stitched for me.


And here's the silver bracelet from CaitlynMinimalist on Etsy that was made from a letter my Dad sent - how cool and unexpected is that?! (I didn't actually BURST into tears; it was more of a gradual building-up...) I'll post my brother's gin-bottle lamp next week.


And I'll end with a picture Drew sent us of him in his official ROTC T-shirt. This is the casual outfit they wear until they get the actual camouflage outfits next year. The dress blues arrive soon, so there will CERTAINLY be a picture of that! And he actually LIKED doing PT yesterday morning at 6 AM - said it was a great way to start the day. Thank you, God, for answered prayers!


Now where did I put that second sock? I WILL finish it this week!
