And now something to warm your heart. Our little friend, Gavin who has been undergoing chemo for the last 6 months, received an early Christmas gift- a liver transplant! Surgery went well but yesterday they found a blood clot and took him back to surgery. He is being closely monitored in ICU. Please pray for him, and his parents on this journey- expecting to be away from home at least 3 months. Things are looking good for Gavin today. Also, remember the selfless and kind donor family in their grief. We are so grateful to them and God for this miracle. If you have not already done so, please discuss organ donation with your family. To save a life is the greatest gift of all.

Firstly, your mantel is very pretty-love the lanterns! Secondly, all at once I'm happy for Gavin, sad for the donor family, and nervous for Gavin's family. What a trying time! I'll hug my girls a little closer tonight!
Tammy -- your mantle is gorgeous! I love the silver elements -- seems I am about the silver this year :)
Praying for Gavin and his recovery and for all those involved!
CHRISTmas Blessings!

I am hoping that your sweet friend Gavin and his family are doing well. He must be a very special little boy.
I love your mantel. Of course anything with a hunt scene is a good thing. My candles photograph yellow, too.
That is just absolutely beautiful! :-)

Saying a prayer for Gavin and the donor family. Thank-you for sharing his progress.
Your mantle looks very nice, Tammy! I love the lanterns and the initials on the stockings!
I totally missed out on these mantel parties but am enjoying seeing what everyone has come up with. Love your lanterns of course. Also the initials on the stockings. I have never used the battery operated candles...I figured I would always have a dead battery and no replacement! Hope you are having a good week so far.
Yes its hard to find nice sized lanterns to fit a mantel. Your mantel is so charming, Tammy. Prayers for GAvin!
So glad to hear Gavin is doing well. What a wonderful gift for their family this year and you are right a very selfless one given by that family.
Your mantel looks beautiful, I love the lanterns! My prayers are with Gavin and his family. Martina
