SNAIL MAIL

Some people come into our lives and
quickly go. Some stay for a while,
leave footprints on our hearts, and
we are never, ever the same.

~Flavia Weedn









 
Most days I get very little mail,
I am paperless all the way,
but not long ago my box was
over flowing with special wonders.

First to arrive was a box from the
beautiful and sweet Katie. I won
a giveaway she was hosting, a
giveaway of the most lovely
bows made from a recycled
calendar. I can do a lot of things,
but bow making isn't a skill
I was blessed with so these
bows will come in handy.
 
Next came a package all the
way from Denmark from a
participated in that Vibeke
hosted. My partner, Mette,
outdid herself. I love everything
she picked out from the tea,
the turtle necklace, the candy,
to the yarn, but my favorite
is a print that I have named
Lorraine because she reminds
me so much of my Granny.
'Lorraine', which I named her
after my Granny, now hangs in
my kitchen where I can see and
talk with her daily ;)
 
Katie and Mette, thank you
for coming into my life, You
both touched my heart and
I am forever changed.
 XO

  14. That is really neat that you got all that mail! How fun!
    I have an un-sent package on my desk for my family, have had it there for a while now... I keep wanting to add something before I send if off. You inspired me to finally finish it up and send it off!
