It’s been a full week.  I had a birthday last thursday.  My coworkers and my supervisor got me a beautiful Peace Lily  in a very nice ceramic planter.  Then hubby and I went out of town the next day for a mini vacation over the Labor Day weekend.  I was off work for the next 4 days following and all of a sudden when the mail came, I started getting small packages.  I thought, ’What is all this?"  Well one package was from Deborah, an online friend.   She made me some lovely dishcloths and a coaster for my birthday.  THANKS DEBORAH!!  You’re a sneak! LOL

Then, yesterday, Friday.. on my way to to work,  I stopped at my mailbox to retrieve the mail from the day before because i forgot and there were 2 more packages and a card.  "Wow, what’s this?  OOOH, it’s from Cathy and Sherry!"  So after I get to work, I opened the packages from Cathy who is another online friend from Aus.   I love getting packages from her cuz she’s a wonderful crocheter.  Well look at what she sent!  A tissue cover in thread and I love that Periwinkle color!  An Amigurumi Valentine Bird, pen and tablet set.  WTG Cathy!!  I love them and you did a great job on the birdie.  You have got to do another Amigurumi!!!  I don’t care what you say, you did a wonderful job on it.  Thank you bunches my friend!!

 

Ok, so I get thru that and open Sherry’s card and as I opened it a huge suprise fell out of it.  HOLY COW!!  I almost thought it was fake…lol

THANK YOU SHERRY!!  What a lovely gift you sent and lord knows you did not have to do that.  I followed your instructions just like you said and with it, I was able to buy the whole Vogue Knitting Stitchionary set.  They were 50% off.  I had money left over, so took hubby to Mc Donalds for dinner ( Im so cheap…hehehee), still had money left over, so went to Michaels and blew the rest!  I bought 2 skeins of Cotton Ease in Lime, a package of mini strand lights for a Thread Ted experiment I want to crochet and as I’m traveling to the Halloween isle I find some mini trick or treat poly resin bags that are decorations for the halloween tree.  I thought, ooh, I can crochet a thread ted and one of these can be it’s trick or treat bag.  Sherry, you are truely a wonderful and caring person!! 

 

To all 3 of my wonderful online friends, you are all truely a gift from God and I’m so greatful to have you all in my life.  Never change!
