WOW! What A Welcome Home

Bloggers Are The Best!
This is a couple days late

because, as most of you know,

I lost my camera.

I had to beg back the one

I gave my hubby.

It works....sorta!

When I got home and went to

pick up our mail I got a

pleasant surprise.

Two wonderful ladies

had sent me two wonderful

packages.

The first one was

from Elaine-At Home With Elaine-

She is just the dearest soul.

Pop by if you have the chance.

What did she send?

Well~

A sweet box

with these lovely things in it.

A darling frame with

Nana on it.

(Nana things are hard to find)

I have to find the perfect picture

to put in it.

Don't you love the saying?

That's not ALL that was in there.

Nope!

There was also a little notebook

to carry in my purse

and a pinwheel.

I have a special place for the pinwheel

that I shared with Elaine.

And last, but certainly not least,

the sweetest little purse with

2 Russell Stover Chocolate Caramels

in it

AND

LOOK ON TOP OF THE PURSE.

Is that the cutest thing ever?

Can you see this as a bow for

SweetCheeks hair?

Can you see a hair bow there?

I can and that is exactly what

I am going to do with it.

The second package was equally

delightful.

I got it a bit after

Valentine's Day because

we were gone.

My friend, Donna,

fondly known as

The Glitter Queen,

(My Shabby Chateau)

sent me a wonderful,

sweet, handmade

Valentine

AND

a lovely wall hanging.

She puts so much love and effort

into each and every piece of

work she does.

I have been lucky enough to be

gifted with a few of her

beautiful items.

A little close up of the card.

She uses this lovely old seam binding

on most of her projects.

And I love this little flower on the bottom.

I can't say enough

Thank Yous!

You two ladies are

something special!

I love the friendships I have

made across the miles.

What a blessing to

have friends that think about me..

that know what I like...

that care enough to

send a bit of sweet love to me.

I am always a bit taken aback...

and humbled...

and don't feel worthy sometimes.

I think I feel

BLOVE

for everyone that I have met

blogging.

Should I coin that word?

Blog+Love= BLOVE.

Do you suppose that will ever

make into Webster's dictionary?

Will they pay me to use it?

Should I quit my day job and

make up new words?

S'NOT

(ie-S'NOT a good idea to quit

my job and make up words)

See what I mean?

I feel a whole new career coming on!
